Pixar's "Turning Red" will not finally be released in theaters, but only at Disney + on March 11th.
It seems that the countdown for cinemas has already begun by passing the baton of the 7th art to technology and streaming. And we would say that the coronavirus and crowd bans are simply the death knell of cinema as streaming technology has long been gaining ground.
So with the well-known company Pixar that decided its new feature film "Turning Red", to premiere exclusively at Disney +, as the studio announced on Friday. In other words, it follows the same route as the Movies "Soul" and "Luca" and becomes the third Pixar film to miss a big theatrical release.
Disney had planned to debut “Turning Red” in theaters, but likely due to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in USA and in a large part of it world, changed her plans. What hasn't changed is the release date: the film will debut on March 11 as originally planned.
Turning Red marks the complete directorial debut of one of Pixar's most promising young talents Domee shi. She has won an Oscar in 2019 for her work in short film Bao movie, which premiered with The Incredibles 2 in theaters.
Like Bao, Turning Red takes place in Shi's hometown of Toronto, Canada. It tells the story of Mei Lee (voiced by Rosalie Chiang), a teenager who discovers that she always turns red when she gets very excited.
