#Domee

Fun fact: Turning Red was inspired by director Domee Shi’s own teenage experiences, especially growing up in a Chinese-Canadian household and navigating intense emotions during puberty. The red panda is a metaphor for uncontrollable feelings rather than something meant to be “fixed.” This scene quietly reminds us that emotional control isn’t about suppression—it’s about balance. When Meimei learns to stay calm, she learns how to stay herself. Sometimes, growth looks like simply breathing through the moment. . . . . . . . . .

In Turning Red, director Domee Shi draws from her own teenage years to show what it’s like to carry big, overwhelming emotions. The red panda isn’t something to be “fixed.” It’s a metaphor for the intense feelings we all face in real life, stress at work, conflict at home, or moments when life just feels too much. When Mei Lee slows down, breathes, and stays present with her body, she doesn’t lose herself, she learns how to navigate her reality with balance. This is a reminder that supporting someone isn’t about “fixing” their emotions, it’s about helping them witness, regulate, and integrate their experiences into everyday life. Healing often looks like noticing what’s happening inside, pausing, and allowing the moment to pass without judgment. Growth isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s simply taking a breath in the middle of life’s storms. Do you agree? #EmotionalRegulation #HealingJourney #EMDRTherapy #kellyohoro

🥟 Interesting Fact: Bao (2018) — Director Domee Shi drew heavily from her own life experiences as an only child to Chinese immigrants when creating this movie. She wanted to explore the overprotective nature of her mother, who would often treat her like a precious little dumpling to ensure she was always safe and close to home. To make the dumpling-making process look as authentic as possible, the animation team brought in Domee Shi’s real-life mother to give a masterclass. The animators carefully studied her hand movements and technique while she kneaded the dough and folded the wrappers, directly translating her expert skills into the mother character’s actions within the movie.
