There is a moment in "Shrek" when the despicable Lord Farquaad has the Gingerbread Man tortured by dipping him into milk. This prepares us for another moment when Princess Fiona's singing voice is so piercing it causes jolly little bluebirds to explode; making the best of a bad situation, she fries their eggs.

There Is More Than One Way to Be Exhausted by “Turning Red”
In its attempt to celebrate Chinese Canadian culture and destigmatize menstruation, the Pixar film manages to be both hyper-specific and alienating.
If one sees the movie as too sexualized or adult-themed for a young audience, that suggests only the conservatism and squeamishness of the critic.
