Turning Red (2022)

Films using fantastical transformations to tell stories about awkward life and biological changes are not a new phenomenon. Famous examples have included 1985's 'Teen Wolf', in which Michael J. Fox always wanted to be special, but never expected to start sprouting hair in even more unusual places than usual puberty, while Brian De Palma's classic Stephen King adaptation 'Carrie' had Sissy Spacek gaining some extraordinary powers to wreak revenge on school bullies. Even Pixar's own 'Luca' last year had big body changes at its heart.
