There's a scene from Turning Red that can be partially found through trailers and the Embrace The Panda documentary, but is not included in the final film. The scene in question involves Mei and her friends doing a protest for environmental issues in the school halls, www.youtube.com/watch?v=6flOoiUa8Qs, www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdKzUbAiswE&t=43s (0:20-0:21). This scene feels like it would've been at least somewhat important as it establishes the activist side of Mei's character, which we only ever see in the final film through Ming's mentions of deforestation, a sad orangutan, and Mei's strong reactions to said images. One thing that makes me worried about this scene is that while the film's upcoming home media release will include deleted scenes, the protest scene doesn't seem to match most of the scenes described in the press release, collider.com/turning-red-4k-blu-ray-release-date-deleted-scenes-alternate-ending-audio-commentary/. The only one I could see it being connected to is the one titled, "The Debate," but even then I feel like these will be early storyboarded scenes unlike the protest scene, which looks completed.
