Turning Red - Meilin (Rosalie Chiang) is a typical middle-schooler who's excited about attending the concert of her favorite music group. When Meilin wakes up one morning to find she's become a giant red panda, she can't believe her eyes. Although she tries to hide what's happened, she discovers her mother Ming (Sandra Oh) isn't surprised, and wants to help her. In the meantime, Meilin keeps turning into a giant red panda whenever she gets excited, which is often. Available May 3rd on DVD and Blu-ray.
Turning Red star Rosalie Chiang talks about voicing Meilin and Sandra Oh talks about voicing Meilin's mother, Ming. They discuss studying red pandas, coming to Toronto, where the film is set, and their own experiences trying to gain independence from their parents, as Meilin goes through in the movie.

He discusses how the biopic Being the Ricardos compares to his memories of Lucille Ball and reveals who his favorite guests have been on his talk show.
