Not only are movie studios filming more and more here in Toronto, but Pixar just announced their next upcoming full length animated Disney movie and the story is SET in Toronto!

The film is called Turning Red, it’s is set to hit theatres Spring 2022 and the ‘Disney Fandom’ site describes the plot like;

“In Turning Red, Mei Lee is a confident, dorky thirteen-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. And as if changes to her interests, relationships, and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited (which for a teenager is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda!”

Toronto residents have already been pointing out familiar areas of the city in what little of the movie can be seen in the teaser trailer.
