No pun intended - and I am quite certain that the filmmaker was not thinking of a Pixar movie when she made this. She had this in her from her own experience. There are parallels and there may be things that do ... well touch similar subject matter(s). A young girl growing up - having no idea about her own body and what it goes through. And no one that can tell her what is actually happening.
In Germany there was an ad that told (mostly) kids that a breakfast cereal was "waking the tiger in you" (English ads had it say "breakfast of champions") ... well if you are looking for a German pun ... look no further.
But this is not about my love for puns. No this is about a story of a girl who is misunderstood, has issues with the school she is in, her parents, her friends .. and the struggle of understanding her body and the transformation it does take ... There is so much to unpack ... sound design, costumes and of course acting! Everyone in this is really good - plus really good effects! If you are not too squeamish or sensitive .. and do not mind this pointing and showing us problems we do not see too often in movies (Red Pandas aside) ... well you could do worse.
