Mei's nightmare was quite the "WTF" moment.


The nightmare sequence right before she transforms into the panda for the first time. Like seriously, what in the heck was that all about?

I wish they would have explained the meaning/symbolism behind it at least a bit more. Because it just felt out of place and was too creepy (for a Pixar movie anyway). Especially the human faces on the flowers, and her boy crush flopping around like a fish. Like, what the fuck? I didn't sign up to watch a David Lynch movie, lol.

The moment that scene popped up I was like "Ah, they've turned it into baby's first Eraserhead." It was so out there!

Dreams will often be weird, so I just saw it as a realistic depiction of what they can be like.
