I haven't seen it yet, but I'm really interested in seeing it. From what I've heard, the writer/ director Peter Sohn, said that his grandma's dying words to him were, "marry Korean". He then falls in love with a non-Korean girl and struggles with how he can still honor his grandma. This becomes the inspiration for the movie. It seems like this is Pixar's take on trying to address immigration and interracial relationships. Again, I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not sure how successful they were, but I find the director himself interesting so I will give the movie a shot.

Wow, 20 years... I feel old now. I've been keeping up with them on and off since the Yellow Fever video. I didn't realize it at the time, but that video was the first time I saw any authentic Asian American representation and it really struck a cord with me. Glad to see they're still doing good work after all these years.

Agreed! If we all just start calling it "the Federation", maybe it'll stick. Also, i hate that "Fediverse" makes me think of Kevin Federline.

Oh, no need to be sorry! I'm just sad at the state of the world and that's definitely not your fault. Your comment was clever, dark, and humorous. I appreciate it!

Hi Everyone, I'm Asian Canadian and use he/him pronouns. I'm happy to find this community; it seems like a cool place so far. I'm interested in comics, science, astronomy, art, photoshop, and table top games. Looking forward to connecting with everyone and seeing what topics come up!
