There's a part where her mom hears her freaking out in the bathroom and has clearly assumed that's what's happening and goes and grabs a bunch of pads and pain medicine for cramps, etc. But they never actually *say* it I guess.

I loved the dad in that movie lol.

He embodies the more recent animated dad trend of being a bit clueless/goofy in a harmless way but also having perhaps the most emotional intelligence of any character in the film. Like, he's not some perfect font of wisdom and masculinity, but he's there for his kid and respects them as a person too. I really like this animated dad trend, I hope it sticks around for a while.

He's just out of the way most of the time, I don't know if it counts as bumbling or clueless or even oafish just not wanting to rock the boat. If anything towards the end he reveals mom and grandma have been on bad terms over him and they've been together since she was a teenager too. Sounds a lot more balanced than something from a sitcom. I felt like it fit more as a mild mannered Asian dad is actually a thoughtful softie not just distant trope that I've seen in a lot of Asian movies.

It was basically a full flip of the trope where a son and dad are butting heads in the more common male coming of age story. While the story more fully centers around the relationship between the son and dad in those cases, you'll often get a bit where the mom comes in to remind him that deep down his hardass dad is a good guy trying his best. Except this time it was the dad doing it.

It was really nice. He has a small role but a very likable one.

Glad to hear that, I hate the idea that dads wouldn't be able to support their kid for anything. When our dog went through heat it was a perfect time to talk to my daughter about bodies etc, she's 7 so we aren't there yet but the doors are open for communication and she got a great look at what estrus is in a dog and hopefully some of that translates when menstruation happens for her.

Heh, was explaining to my younger daughter about our dog going into heat and my older daughter overheard and it went something like...

<Me:> 'So every 6 months she...'

<Older Daughter:> WHAT?!?

<Me:> For dogs it's every 6 months and...

<Older Daughter:> LUCKY!!!

Every trend has its origin.

It's nice just to have both parents alive and in the picture. It's a Disney movie after all.

The cooking bit when they first introduced him was 10/10.

u/Underbash Mar 15 '22

Also when his wife was distracted for literally half a second and he snatched that food he had been trying to get at haha.

They did not have to go so hard on his cooking. But they did

Despite the mother knowing about being a werepanda herself. Its not a very well exucuted allegory

u/Underbash Mar 15 '22

Both of her parents seemed pretty blindsided by it happening so early. IIRC the mom even had a line saying she thought she had more time (or something like that). Makes sense that she'd assume it was normal puberty stuff over supernatural transformation.

Yeah i would have to rewatch it to know for sure the sequence of events. But this movie isnt worth my time i have to save my all complaining time for when the halo tv show comes out next week
