ICYMI, this past weekend Pixar's latest film, Turning Red, was released on Disney+.

The marvelously metaphorical film — which documents the coming-of-age story of 13-year-old Toronto native Mei Lee — is positively delightful! Having previously been one myself, I can truly say I've never seen a movie capture the pure chaotic weirdness that is being a teenage girl quite like this one does.

So, with that in mind, we took to Twitter to round up just a few of the very best reactions to (and jokes about) the film, compiling them into this easy-to-enjoy list for your viewing pleasure! Ready? I sure hope so! Here we go:
1.This absolute truth:
If Turning Red took place in 2012 instead of 2002, these girls would run Tumblr like the fucking Navy
2.This quote to live by:
in the best possible way Turning Red is "Do not kill the part of you that is cringe - kill the part of you that cringes" concentrated into a movie and it's wonderful
3.This title that could've been:
Watching the documentary on the making of Turning Red and I can't stop laughing at this unused title.
4.This undeniable fact:
who are the best disney dad's and why is it them?#TurningRed #Encanto
5.This actual villain:
Old Disney vs New Disney and honestly? I love it. #encanto #turningred
6.This unlocked memory:
I’m glad Turning Red exists for unashamed period media because all we had growing up was this:
7.This appropriate(?) murder:
The complaints that #TurningRed isn’t appropriate for kids because it addresses puberty is hilarious like I’m pretty sure that Finding Nemo opens with the murder of an entire family?
8.This friend everyone deserves:
We all need friends like this.#TurningRed
9.This relatable moment:
Literally me at 13 with Interview with the Vampire 😭😭😭 #TurningRed
10.This truly amazing stuff:
Turning Red is proof of what amazing stuff you could get when you just let women tell stories about women
11.This very catchy tune:
#TurningRed #4town me in public: my airpods:
12.This unexpected friendship:
okay yes turning red kinda just came out, but can we talk about tyler and the girls for a second?
13.This facial expression appreciation:
This movie has some of the funniest looking expressions/reactions ever in a Pixar film #TurningRed
14.This Euphoria crossover:
latinos & asians seeing generational trauma in encanto and turning red
15.This sweet little detail:
turning red spoilers //GUYS THE GIRLS IKN THE MOVIE ALL HAVE THESE FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS AND BY THE END OF IT THEY MADE ONE FOR TYLER AS WELL IM CRYING
16.This telling meme:
I honestly didn't want to make this meme. But seeing as that we keep getting people bitching about Turning Red, I had to make this comparison to another cartoon that also gets the same treatment as Turning Red #TurningRed
17.This fanfic I'd 110% read:
“It’s unrealistic that a 13 year old is writing/drawing fan fiction.”Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet came out when I was 13. Not only did I make that film my whole personality, I wrote myself into the story. In my version, Romeo AND Juliet AND Mercutio fell in love with me.
18.And finally — this important inclusion:
The way I sobbed when I saw the pads in #TurningRed. Women are so often reduced to smaller versions of themselves, either sexualized or non-existent. To see a film list out different kinds of hygiene products with such normalcy was moving.
