In the alternate ending to Turning Red, director Domee Shi explains that Mei is on a flight traveling to California when Robaire, her 4*TOWN crush voiced by Jordan Fisher sits next to her on the plane, ultimately resulting in Mei’s panda making a final appearance. Of course, Robaire would then recognize her as not every one of his fans has the ability to turn into a giant red panda, causing Mei’s emotions to run even higher eventually denting the plane thanks to her panda.
