During the film production process, the production team used 180,000 simulation points. Starting from the strands of hair, pillows and touching hair, to other movements performed by each character to make them feel smoother and more natural.

The number of simulation points is useful to ensure the visual and animation movements in each scene. Even small movements are also ensured through the number of simulation points to produce smooth movements.

2. Film within a Film

There is a scene shown in the movie Turning Red, where Mei and her mother, Ming, watch a TV drama series called Jade Palace Diaries. For this, the production team specifically wrote a two-page script for the drama series.

Although only a few clips are shown in the film, viewers can also see the TV logo in the shape of Bao, the dumpling character from the Pixar short film by Domee Shi that won an Oscar.

3. Working From Home

During the current pandemic situation, everyone is doing a lot of activities inside their homes. The same goes for the Disney and Pixar's Turning Red animation team who are working from home.

In the process of making this film, the creators worked in various places, such as the childhood homes of the creators, in the family room, garage, and even the room of a creator's child. Although they worked from their respective homes, the hard work of the animation team resulted in the film Disney and Pixar's Turning Red remaining warm and close to fans.

4. Italian Touch in the Film

There is an Italian touch in the film Turning Red because in one scene, when visitors come to Mei's family temple, they are greeted with two cat statues that are similar to the Italian cat 'Machiavelli' from Disney and Pixar's Luca.

However, the shape is not too similar to Machiavelli. The shape and appearance of the cat statues in Mei's family temple have slightly longer fur and also have different colors.

5. Special Appearance of Characters

With a unique appearance for each character, it can make it easier for viewers to get to know them. It is a good strategy from the production team of Turning Red. For example, showing Miriam's braces as much as possible, Abby's eyebrows that always look "angry" even when she's happy, and Priya's eyelids that never move so she always looks calm.

Watch Disney and Pixar's Turning Red only on Disney+ Hotstar. Disney+ Hotstar itself is a streaming service that presents global, regional, and Indonesian content in one place.
