I'm so excited about these bonus features that you can enjoy at home - especially how much love is given to 4*TOWN in them!  Watching the girls in the film swoon over their boy band idols reminded me of myself with Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, New Kids on the Block, and 98 Degrees.

About Turning Red (From Disney / Pixar)

In Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red, confident, dorky 13-year-old Mei must balance being a dutiful daughter with the chaos of adolescence. Her slightly overbearing mom is never far from her daughter. And, as if changes to Mei’s interests, relationships and body aren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited, she “poofs” into a giant red panda!
