The film aims to explore the affect that anxiety can have on young people. At the moment we only know about the two leading cast members. Mei Lei is voiced by newcomer Rosalie Chiang. Mei's mom is played by Killing Eve and Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh. There is still quite a wait before we get to see Turning Red. The movie will hit theatres in the US and the UK on March 11, 2022.
