Description

Welcome Domee Shi and Lindsey Collins to talk about first crushes, embarrassing teenage stories, complicated family dynamics, and of course their new Pixar film: Turning Red.  
More about Turning Red
Young actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda when she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager.
More about Domee Shi
Domee began as a story intern at Pixar Animation Studios in June 2011, and was soon hired as a story artist on the Academy Award®–winning feature film “Inside Out.” Since then she has worked on the feature films “The Good Dinosaur,” “Incredibles 2” and the Academy Award–winning “Toy Story 4.” In 2015 she began pitching ideas for short films, and soon was green-lit to write and direct “Bao,” which won an Academy Award for best animated short film. In her role as a creative VP, Shi is involved in key creative decision-making at the studio and consults on films in both development and production.
Shi was born in Chongqing, China, and resided in Toronto, Canada, for most of her life. She currently lives in Oakland, Calif., and notes that her love of animation is only rivaled by her love of cats.
More about Lindsey Collins
Lindsey joined Pixar Animation Studios in May 1997. She has since worked in various capacities on a number of Pixar’s feature films. Collins’ film credits include “A Bug’s Life,” “Toy Story 2” and the Academy Award®–winning “Finding Nemo” and “Ratatouille.” Collins also provided the voice of the character Mia in Pixar’s 2006 release “Cars.”
Collins co-produced the Golden Globe®– and Oscar®-winning feature “WALL•E” with producer Jim Morris and director Andrew Stanton and was a producer on the Walt Disney Studios feature “John Carter of Mars.”
