What They’re Saying:

Director Domee Shi: “We are super excited to have Anne-Marie as a U.K. cameo in Turning Red. Anne-Marie really brought this role to life during our filming with a combo of quirky exuberance and humour that was note-perfect for her character, a red-panda superfan.”
Anne-Marie: “I’m a massive fan of Pixar so it was an honour to be invited to have a role in Turning Red. It’s such a special film, I love the 00’s setting, it’s nostalgic and fun and I love the concept of Mei needing to figure out her journey about growing up in this weird world.”
