Movie Review: ‘Turning Red’
Bob GarverSpecial to Valley NewsBack in January, when COVID-19 numbers were raging and another lockdown seemed imminent, Disney made the decision to make Pixar’s “Turning Red” a Disney+ exclusive. But soon after holiday tourism died down, so did the COVID-19 numbers, and theaters are fully capable of showing this movie. In fact, restrictions here in New York have eased so much it was the first weekend where I wouldn’t have needed so much as a mask to go see a movie. But I guess the decision to move the film to Disney+ was an irreversible one, or maybe the studio just didn’t want to compete with the second weekend of “The Batman.” I usually reserve this column for theatrical releases, but I’ll make an exception because there were no other major releases this weekend,
