Pixar's 'Turning Red' won't be shown in theaters after all, but only in Disney+ on March 11.
It seems the opposite measurement for cinemas it has already begun by passing the baton of the 7th art to technology and streaming. And we could say that the coronavirus and crowd bans are simply the death knell of cinema, since streaming technology has been gaining ground for a long time.
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.
Disney had planned to debut "Turning Red" in theaters, but likely due to the recent increase in cases COVID-19 in the US and much 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 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.
