I've only ever heard the term "{parent}/{child} bonding" used as a euphemism for incest.
Only if you're a Disney animator obsessed with pubescent girls.
Other cultures have stuff like this. Maybe not the mother-daughter-bonding aspect of it, but they may do a little something "special" to celebrate/announce to family she's become a young woman now.
I love the animated parts, but God do I hate the live action parts and I can't handle how disgusting it is which makes me gag and want to vomit.
The whole movie is gross-out which was likely the point since the moral of the story is "Live healthy so you don't die prematurely" since it was Frank's own fault he got sick by eating an egg a chimpanzee had already stuck in its mouth and then it dropped onto the ground. 'Course then I have to ask exactly what was the deal with the mayor. What was he getting out of Frank eating so unhealthily to the point he almost died because his immune system was apparently shot.
I think he is meant to be symbolic of Frank's current mental state which is why he is replaced once Frank changes.
And yet anyone could use the microphone to "communicate" with Frank and get him to act on it, so I don't know why there was a whole political angle to the buddy-cop story. I dunno, that was just weird in general. I may just need to watch the movie again when I'm not sick lol.
Isn't the microphone in the mayor's office?
That's why those "cultures" are inferior to ours.
I believe so, it just doesn't stop anyone from using it. I think they expanded on this more in the TV series.
Not again! David H Jones not again!
Funny you mention that, because this page in the Cartoon Industry thread goes pretty in depth on this shit, including one post talking about how that that episode in particular is actually pretty fucking bad. https://kiwifarms.st/threads/cartoon-industry-thread.113659/page-223
All of Turning Red.
That's absolute body horror. Traditionally that would be a nightmare sequence. How is this supposed to make girls feel good about their bodies again?
Like if you removed every mention of the period after it's more or less resolved (including Mr mcgee shopping for products at the store) and had it be a generic "left out cause molly doesn't feel mature compared to her friends". Plot It'd still he a clichied but serviceable episode. Part of me wants to belive that's what the creators and head writers had in mind but it was that she ogre Sam Crowley who stuck her fat fingers in the pie and demanded it be about periods "because I'm a dei woman hired and I'll have you canceled and fired if you say no."
Pads as literal wings and a song? I'll say again. Being female and bleeding for 3 days without dying doesn't make you special or mystic. You're the same sack of slowly dying and rotting, carbon based meat and bones held together by nerve tissue and deoxyribonucleic acid.
Frankly between the multiple episodes of big mouth I mentioned, (which unlike the Disney versions showed everything too, chunky blood and all) the episode of beymax, and now this moon bitch shizer?
Unpopular Opinion: I actually like Turning Red.
