“Turning Red” is the third Pixar film to transition to Disney’s streaming platform during the pandemic.
Another Pixar film is heading straight to Disney+. On Friday, Disney announced that is newest animated feature “Turning Red” would skip theaters and debut exclusively for free on its streaming service on March 11. The family-friendly film about a young girl that transforms into a giant red panda whenever she gets too excited will follow the same path other Pixar films “Soul” and “Luca” took during the Covid-19 pandemic. The move isn’t too surprising considering families have been slow to return to theaters, even after vaccinations became widely available to children.
