The movie "Turning Red” by Pixar will not be shown in theaters after all, but only on Disney+ on March 11.
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 path as the movies "Soul" and "Luca" and becomes the third Pixar movie that fails to be released in the big theaters.
The Disney company had planned to debut “Turning Red” in theaters, but likely due to the recent increase in cases of COVID-19 in the US and much of the world, it changed its plans. What hasn't changed is the date 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 work of her in the 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.
