Tangled is a Disney movie.
Why is that so hard to understand?
Maybe you should look up: Turning red car scene and then you’ll change your mind.
Sure you might not like the STYLE of animation they have chosen for the movie (anime-influences), but factual, this animation is again a great show of how far the possibilities have come.

We did get that buck wild movie that has bad animation, so turning red has better animation than that.
First off Tangled isn’t Pixar and second The animation in Turning red isn’t even bad at all plus I found Turning red funny in fact I never laughed so hard since Incredibles 2 came out.
Okay, first of all… if you actually read my first post, you’d see that I was talking about DISNEY, not Pixar. As I said, good quality animation was one of the things that made Disney so great.
Second… I don’t care what any of you think. I’m entitled to my own opinion, just as you are, and I stand by my opinion. You like the movie? Good for you! By all means, go nuts with it. I, on the other hand, will stick with the movies that I enjoy.
Good day.
I sort of agree with you here, though it’s not about what Pixar CAN do, because they have the means to make a gorgeous film.
Turning Red is not a gorgeous story, it’s kind of crude and I’d say it’s pretty kitschy, so it makes sense that the art style is also kind of kitschy? Lol. I agree it’s quite ugly but it was an artistic choice and says nothing about their ability to make something nice.
That said,
What was impressive about this scene? I’m trying to look it up and not finding results. When does it happen?
It’s the scene just after Mei is picked up at the party by her Mom. I’ll try to find a picture.
And to be clear, I didn’t say you aren’t allowed to dislike the story or art style, but that’s something totally different from saying it’s the worst animation of a film ever. Cause the last one improves and improves throughout the decades.

I did find one with a simular effect:

Honestly the film looks more Looney-Tunish to me
Especially when Ming did those faces
Yeah I fully agree
I think Pixar in generally is less interested in elegant, sophisticated styles compared to Disney. They usually are about more cute and cartoony styles, and that’s not a bad thing just I thought this one was pretty ugly lol
My problem with this movie is more that it doesn’t feel Pixar-ish in the sense that there’s no twist in the message, it’s completely predictable and doesn’t set you up to change your point of view the way something like say Inside Out or Monsters University does.
And the world (in terms of scripting) is a little too real, no fantastical escapism from Pixar, instead it’s just inappropriate 12 year olds being inappropriate and saying things I never thought I’d hear (and never wanted to hear) in a Pixar movie lol.
Although I never noticed the box of birthday cake timbits! Nice reference and now I’m hungry lol

Now that I think about it.
It’s still not a bad little movie but I do agree with @LilRubyKinz. Apart from changing into a giant red panda and despite the fact that it was a Pixar movie, there was none of Disney’s signature sense of magic and wonder. It felt too real.
And their were times where I felt should not be there in the first place. For instance, Mei freaking out that her mom showed up at school to check on her that’s fine. But what pushed her over the edge and unleashed the panda: Her mom telling her that she forgot, and pardon me for saying this…
Tampons, yeah, I don’t think some of us needed to see or know that. A little inappropriate IMO.
And Mei goal throughout the movie was a bit stale. Was it to use her powers to fight off some ancient evil from destroying or taking over the world? No. Was it to stop some sort of curse from falling upon the world? No. It was to use her powers to get enough money to go see a Backstreet Boys knockoff and the only threat was her mother throwing a temper tantrum. What ever moves the story along I guess.
Overall, I think Pixar dodged a bullet for not putting it in theaters. Let’s hope Lightyear is a little better.

Which makes it A LOT better and relatable.
What, growing up? Biology? Stuff which everyone learns from school and own experience at some point?
You missed the point about the movie to accept yourself and your flaws are what making your unique and you shouldn’t feel cringe/bad about that, as nobody is perfect, you are you and you should feel proud about it not hide it to being accepted by others while it hurts you.

Next thing we know, Pixar goes PG-13. I mean, they certainly took things that far in the “Purl” SparkShort.
To better emphasize the scenario, Disney only hinted at the puberty phase in Big Hero 6, but here, Pixar just floored the throttle.

I’ve heard worse language in PG-rated movies, honestly.
Yeah… has anyone seen PG in the 80’s?! Lol
That’s a very valid point, actually. Incredibles 2 currently sets the record for most profanity used in a Pixar film.
I’m guessing you haven’t seen The Sandlot or Who Framed Roger Rabbit or The Mask, among others, without their dialog being censored. To say nothing of more adult-oriented PG movies like A League of Their Own or The Truman Show.
No, I’ve seen those.
Look, the point is Turning Red is a film about going through physical and emotional changes as well as self-acceptance, ultimately summarizing the concept as puberty. Sure, there’re some parts of it that people find unsettling (I will admit going through the very beginning was a mental challenge for me), but the moral of the story overall was something I found enlightening and inspirational.
If you guys disagree, that’s okay. I’m not you, so you’re more than welcome to think differently. Just try not to get all stingy about other people’s opinions, and just brush that distaste of what everyone else thinks off your shoulders. 
Very good.
Some people here seems to think exactly like these people at Oscars, that animation is only for kids, which is just disgusting.
No that would not be good lol
Of course animation is not just for kids, in particular Disney is not for any one group of people, it’s meant for everyone.
Why does adding gore and cursing or whatnot make it more suitable for adults?
I realize things were different in the 80s but we don’t live in the 80s anymore. There are different standards, and families have expectations for animation from Disney.
Turning Red had potential but there was too much content that frankly was not meant for everyone, it made a lot of people uncomfortable and to me it is obvious they were more concerned with getting the ‘Pixar broke another barrier no one cares about’ headlines and less with making content that is suitable for everyone.
And honestly that’s just the way Pixar’s been going lately.
