In early-'oughts Toronto, life for 13-year-old Meilin Lee (voiced by Rosalie Chiang) was about her BFFs, boy bands, and most of all, hyper-achieving to keep the hover-'rents (Sandra Oh, Orion Lee) happy. That was until she got smacked by an old family curse-that turns her into an 8-foot red panda when stressed-and her comically calamitous coming to terms with it fuels this incisive and endearing Pixar effort. Also with the voices of Wai Ching Ho, James Hong, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Affable big-town bank teller Guy (Ryan Reynolds) was content with life and job-the daily violent holdups notwithstanding. However, his fateful encounter with one foxy felon (Jodie Comer) brought him the realization that he was actually a background character in an open-world video game-and while his newfound autonomy makes him a hit with players, it also draws the wrath of the program's developer (Taika Waititi). Smash fantasy-actioner co-stars Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery. 115 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
