Why the FCK is no one talking about the dad? Also, RU-vid please do not fcking put this in YT Kids. I like comments. EDIT: Bruh, really? Did you just. REALLY?! #Disney #Clips
Also the crushing disappointment from the grandmother led to her being overwhelmed. Imagine being perfect at mothering and then your child decided not to listen to u.(there’s no wrong parties but it’s just each parties caring too much)
Him slowly walking backwards in caution is put into a whole lot of perspective when he knows women in the family turn into red pandas, and his wife's panda is ginormous.
@@lunatalia9109 Could be wrong, but after watching the film, my impression was that as soon as Ming said "that": * Ming thought she had her first period * Jin thought she turned into a red panda
Not to mention how casually he’s like “she was big ☺️” YOU ARE VERY CALM ABOUT YOUR WIFE BEING LITERALLY GODZILLA SIZED WHEN SHES ANGRY But I love seeing him throughout the film clearly knowing his wife and what she needs at certain times- when she was nervous about telling Mei, when her mom called, when her family was yelling around her, Pixar is getting really good at showing supportive spouses
Jin Lee is a fun character. He didn't have much presence in the movie but when he did he always improved the scene. It was refreshing to have both parents in an animated film.
8:40 Can we acknowledge how he not only drew a perfect circle that big, that quick, and in as tense of a situation with a cart but he knew exactly when to stop while looking away?! Dad’s a monster in that regard
I love this character because he's a man of few words but has a heart of gold. He cares so much about his family and will do anything to help them. Literally one of the best characters of this film.
For any man watching this - please don't subject yourself to be controlled, manipulated, or told what to do for your wife. Hate how men are expected to take whatever is thrown at them. Our society puts this expectation of them. Stand up for yourselves, marry and be with someone who accepts u and doesn't control (even tiny things) about you. That's not true love! Learned so much from many men who have been manipulated/controlled.
Jin saw that building-sized red panda and said "oh well, that's life" and stayed with her, he became husband material in the same day his wife rebelled against her mother for the first time. I love them so much
I actually like how he was a supportive father and not like the overprotective or un-alive ones that Disney/Pixar has in their films, like yeah there’s some good ones, but sometimes they don’t do a whole lot or they’re just straight up not letting they’re kids grow up, we need more father figures like Jin lee, the best Pixar dad ever
0:47 Love the natural instinct of this man. Even when his daughter is screaming from the bathroom, he seizes his moment to take what’s his! The technique and ninja-like reflexes to get that donut the first chance he gets is nothing short of admirable.
At first you wonder why she married him, then the movie proceeds to tell you why as if it’s the subplot. Goofy just may have met his match as best Disney dad.
My theory is that he's probably going to be the next shaman after Mr. Gao. he seems to know everything that is needed and seems perfectly in tune with it all. He had said he only ever saw Ming's panda once. One time. We don't even known how long they knew each other before getting married. He never saw another one before that but look at how ready he was to get things done. He probably left to the get the chalk before Ming's mother could tell him anything and even told the ladies when to start singing. Either he's going to be the next shaman or he *really* wants his wife back lol not that I blame him.
Makes sense with them having a temple and all. Now thinking about, it makes a lot of sense and it's extremely convenient the shaman living near to them.
I'm not shy to admit he's prob my favourite character in the entire movie, and I'm not joking. Jin is a king and one of the best animated dads to come out as of recent, plus, look at that man. We should all strive to be like his calm and relaxing demeanour, everybody. Edit: It seems I'm not the only one who shares this great opinion
@@HomeschoolVouchers I've heard similar euphemisms before, but they sound super old lol. They're also pretty silly, I've never heard it anywhere else outside this movie and old literature. I guess because back in those days women were compared to delicate flowers question mark?
I don't understand why Ming's mom didn't approve of Jin, he seems like such a good man. My guess is she's one of those mom's who'll never approve of anyone her daughter dates.
The fight between Ming and her mom over Jin happened before Ming sealed her panda spirit, so probably while she was still in her teens. Not many teenage girls would have mothers who could see eye to eye with their boyfriends, I imagine.
At 4:18 I felt so bad for the dad because the mom didn’t want to hang out with him. 😭😭 his face is so cute my so sad. Honestly I love his character and he is my fave character in the movie. He deserves more screen time.
I kind of have 2 theories why Ming’s mom didn’t approve of Lin 1st theory: this one is pretty unlikely, but maybe when Mei-Mei’s parents were young they might have been rebellious teenagers. And at one point Lin was a bad influence on Ming. ( like I said this theory doesn’t seem right but there is gonna be that moment where parents think a kid’s friend or potential partner isn’t gonna be good enough for them ) Or 2nd: his status, maybe he/his family wasn’t wealthy and Ming’s mom thinks it’s based on his status that he might not be able to provide for Ming and the family On a side note I adore how in the end of the film Jin becomes a 4*Townie in the basement, reminds me of how my dad got into Kpop after I introduced it to him
i'm leaning towards a possibility where its because he's "average". ming's family pursued excellence and perfection, maybe he wasn't remarkable in any way (not saying by any means he's not worth it, i absolutely loved his character)
I think both theory, if he was studying aboard at that time through scholars that he had to fight very hard to get because his family was poor (and his family may still have to wrestle with financials because there are no mentioned about them, if they are rich or solved financial problem, grandfathers may visit and lived with Mei). And if that is true, he didn't have much money, so he may considered "poor". And if he had to fight very hard to get the scholar, he was different from other kids because unlike normal or rich children which still not touch to hard works and just study, he had to work to get enough money to simply had breakfast and lunch while studying to get the scholar, its may explained why he is very good at cooking because he may have to do that since he got the scholar. So Jin became "experienced" and thus he may act to adapt and continue to survive, keep working outside of studying time for money to pay for everything by himself. And during that time he met and befriend with many people that still not suitable for his age, or he sympathize and knew their true heart. But by anyway, all of them was enough to judge him as "rebellious" for someone just looked to one side of his story. And if it was not enough, the original from mainland China may made Ming's mom disgust him and want her "perfect" daughter to stay away from him (its maybe 1980s with CCP) In the process for trying to be a perfect girl, Ming had no friend or her mother didn't allow her to befriend with them (this happened with me in the past so I know how painful it was, you were stripped away almost happy nostalgia to the point that you hardly care about your pass), so she always lonely and became a subject for bullying. That's why Ming was attracted by Jin, because he shown her different aspect of the life, different story and most importantly he sympathized and understood her situation. But most importantly, he became the target for Ming to begin rebel and fight for. But disaster came with that, for many posts about this film I theorize that the panda only emerged if that person believe she is grown up, that's why Mei begin transformation so soon because at the beginning of the film she believe she is adult at 13. And with Ming, Jin became the "push" so Ming believe she cannot live at the same, must grown up to stay with him. By somehow she begin the transformation directly at that moment when her mother rejected Jin and that's explained why she is so big, because the panda was overfed with a surge of raw anger directly from bottle up emotions right on the first time of the transformation. But how Jin be accepted, maybe 1 - Ming did not care about her mother anymore after traumarizing for hurting her and never want to returned to the old road, so she decided to live with Jin. Its fit the conversation with Mei when she said that her relationship with Ming was not like the same after the incident. Or 2 - Ming''s family realized how deeply Jin was after that incident and after a knowning his full story.
Actually the movie spells out how things were when they were young. The father was a street vendor who cooked meals for working people. Which is considered an embarrassing profession in modern China. He was very successful but that wasn't enough for Ming's mother. Who wanted her to marry someone with more dignity. That is partly why Ming got so mad that Mei had fallen in love with Devon. A lowly clerk. Because she had become her own mother in that sense. They moved to Canada and Jin, the father, still loves to cook. And he teaches her daughter how to make traditional Chinese food.
@@TatankaTaylor Ming's family already in Canada before. The temple is for their bloodline and its contained a lot of people from many generations so at least Ming were born in Canada or outside China. Also Jin said with Mei when transform Ming destroy half of the temple, so maybe Jin from China moved aboard but Ming didn't.
I mean- what’s not to love?! Soft-spoken, yet respectful and supportive father and husband, amazing cook, AND a 4TOWNie? P.s. the scene at 9:28 makes me smile and laugh everytime. I love parents that end up liking stuff their kids like, but are a bit embarrassed about it, so they don’t want to let on how much they actually know and love about it.
Jin more than likely knew that Ming was being overprotective of Mei but felt powerless to convince her otherwise. I think that's why the Father/Daughter talk he has with Mei is so important. Up until that point, it was the one moment he had with her where he could be completely forthright without worrying about being influenced by his wife.
Agreed. I found that such a sweet tidbit about them. Ming stands firm for the person she wants to share her life with, even againat her own mother which is obviously not easy.
I love how he's not just some unimportant extra in the background, and has his part in the story. It doesn't have to be huge, but it's way more than nothing. He completes this movie.
I love when Mei left, everyone was complaining and judging the situation but Jin was the only one to look at Ming and make sure she's OK. They're SO good!!!
He was okay with his daughter being a panda- snuck Tim Hortons when his wife wasn’t looking,backed away realizing he had nothing to give to the “red peony” conversation- saved his daughters comfort toy!!!! loves his daughter even when she was a giant red panda, even if she doesn’t want to get rid of it! And is just happy to see his daughter happy!!! And was the only one ho told Ming it was okay/ everything would be okay And he was ready to get Ming’s circle done! Like when grandma asked where Jin was he was 2/3s done with the circle by somehow breaking and entering into a shed ?? Also let’s appreciate the fact a 15/16 Jin saw his GF turn into a Kaiju red panda and said , “yeah that’s the woman Im going to marry…” He loves his girls Ming, Mei, and I can’t remember her Grandmas name be he treated her with nothing but respect. Gonzalez Adams🤝Felix & Augustine Madrigal🤝Jin Lee Loving their wives and daughters unconditionally
Yo, my dad was like this and it ruined my parents relationship. (I'm just ranting a bit after this, you don't have to read it). My mom has a strong personality and is higly sensitive, so my dad never said what he wanted to say and they divorced last year, with my dad admitting he had been sad for a very long time, and my mom not knowing what to do because she really thought they were happy, and couldn't see how her own personality didn't allow space for discussion. Sometimes I wish she had seen it, or that my dad was more honest on his feelings. Because it still fuking sucks today and everyone has trust issues now.👌👌
Sad this happened, but I appreciate your acknowledgement of it because it does suck when only one person gets to voice their needs and concerns. Jin is a great dad and person, and I know Ming learned a few lessons from Pandapocalypse 2002 that hopefully helped her with her skills as a partner, not just her motherhood.
Heyo, fellow divorced kid here- I’m so sorry that happened and I also want to let you know your not alone in your feelings of wishing your parents were just able to be more trusting and open w/ their feelings. But coming from that environment It was really eye opening seeing the sheer amount of support that Jin and Ming gave Mei, and also their struggles in trying to come to terms with their own feelings and opening up and accepting each other, this movie is probably one of the most healthiest portrayals of gradually opening up in those Asian immigrant values of perfection leading to self worth that I’ve seen in television so far (which is funny because it took the pandacolypse for that to happen) it’s inspiring seeing someone like Jin, especially from a father standpoint, give that beautiful support to Mei by validating her feelings and paying attention when she needed that care from the rest of the family
I know how it feels. I'm much closer to my dad- something about oldest daughter tend to be the female version of the dad- and the way we carry ourselves were similar, so I understand his love language. But in retrospect, I clash with my mother so often because our personality is different. After hearing news of divorce from my mom, my dad come to me later and said he still loves her. However, communication weren't going through well and things clearly aren't working between them. The only difference to our story is that my dad passed away before the divorce was finalized, and my mom told me she didn't want to remarry and grieved terribly. The irony of it all. I missed him everyday.
In Scandinavia and germany we have a term called tøffelhelt (slipper hero), where the wife is in command of the house. I know of a guy that was like that and followed all the wife's command and she controlled his finances, sadly she moved on and now he lives in a small rented apartment
I’m from a family that’s mostly women (my moms generation of 12 had only one boy, my generation has 35 kids and only 7 are boys) and can confirm Jin represents EVERY guy in a female dominated family; especially the ones that marry in. We always have an unofficial “husband room” at family gatherings but my male cousins always act like Jin where they are like quietly there listening but they know it’s like a conversational shark tank I love being from a family of strong women but I feel bad seeing Jin like this too lol
i like how this scene subverted my expectation 0:00 . in animes these glasses are sings for the characters who means business. and make me believe her dad was also a perfectionist like her mom. but nope 0:03 😅 just steam.
turning red has become the first ever show to make me feel like its so real abt some parts u know, idk how to explain but everything is almost so relatable and this show is just AMAZING i dont get how some ppl dont like it, this show is amazing
Ok, I'll be the one to say it: I see a lot of the fandom fawning over Ming's appearance, but Jin has nice assets too: lips, butt, also I'd say the belly makes him look cute, not to mention his manerisms: he carries this reasuring prescence with him, like an antropomorphic bell.
Ming and Jin remind me Felix and Pepa from Encanto a little. She is so nervous and emotional, and he is always there to support and calm her down. Of course, these couples are still not completely the same, but I like, that we can see, why these characters are together, because their personalities make a perfect combination
I’d like to believe that Jin would take over from Mr. Gao on being a shaman seeing that he’s also calm and wise. Plus, he drew that enormous circle like a pro.
I love this guy, he is such a good father and husband. And I love his chill personality, he is so calm at intimidating situations, like when Mei turned into panda for the first time
He reminds me so much of my dad all the way down to secretly enjoying something for teens lol. We found him watching Twilight by himself a couple times when he was off from work.
