This is a great movie I do not get the hate for it

(Mild spoilers) This is definitely one of Pixar's most controversial movies, if not the most controversial, and it's not particularly hard to see why, as certain scenes are kind of grown-up, while others are kinda cringe. Still, however, it addresses the topic of growing up, becoming a teenager, wanting to gain independence and having had enough of your parents wanting you to be perfect. The panda obviously reflects how teenagers can go from happy to upset in just a few seconds (something I can confirm as a fellow teenager), while wanting to keep the identity of the panda instead of getting rid of it signifies that 1) you are a different person from your ancestors, you don't have to get rid of it just because they did and 2) even if you possess a dangerously powerful ability, if you learn how to control it, it can be beneficial rather than harmful (for example the part they took the photos etc). Of course, the animation and the entire picture is top-tier, as it is most of the fine after all. So yeah there are a few controversial scenes and I get why some people dislike it, but in my opinion it addresses important topics in a fun way, which is why I think it's a great movie. Not the best Pixar movie, but definitely one of the best I've watched this year
