A few weeks ago, I had the chance to review Disney and Pixar’s "Turning Red" and thought the film handled the subject of balancing self discovery while going through female puberty so well.

If your family also enjoyed Turning Red, then add it to your home movie collection when it becomes available on Digital on April 26 and on then on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on May 3.

Turning Red fans can enjoy never-before-seen bonus material including seven deleted scenes, three featurettes and audio commentary with Director Domee Shi. Turning Red is also streaming on Disney+.
