Mei is the movie’s protagonist. A nerdy but self-assured 13-year-old, Mei comes into her own by realizing, actually, she likesto “unleash the panda” from time to time. She’s voiced by Rosalie Chiang, a 16-year-old from the Bay Area. Originally hired as a placeholder until a permanent “Mei” could be cast, Chiang (obviously) wound up winning the role...
Ming is Mei’s loving, proud, but exacting and somewhat strict mother. Over the course of the movie, she and her new teenager butt heads (literally at one point, in fact) but she comes to accept that while she and her daughter can never have the same relationship they had when Mei was a child, their new relationship can be beautiful as well. She’s p...
Miriam is Mei’s loyal, goofy best friend — someone who’s always supportive but caring enough to call Mei out on negative behavior. She is voiced by 16-year-old Ava Morse. Based in Illinois, Morse has been performing since she was 5. In addition to commercials and Chicago area theater, Morse has television and film credits to her name as well. Turni...
Priya is another of Mei’s loving and supportive besties in the movie. Deadpan but passionate, Priya is artistic and often gravitates towards romantically dark things, like the Nightfall book series or the cute goth girl at her school. She’s played by 20-year-old Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, who is best known for playing Devi Vishwakumar in Never Have I E...

Jin is voiced by Australian actor Orion Lee, who has worked theater, as well as film and television. He played King-Lu in the critically acclaimed 2019 film First Cow, and has performed at prestigious theaters througho...
Tyler is (per Pixar) “that kid we all know from middle school: annoying, aggressive and always popping up when least wanted.” Ultimately, however, the bratty exterior hides an ultimately sympathetic kid who, like everyone in middle school, is trapped in that awkward stage between “little kid” and “full-fledged teen” and just wants to get through it...
Mei’s grandma is an imposing figure. Put together, imperious, and capable, we learn that she and Ming used to have a very close relationship that soured over time due (in part) to Grandma’s controlling nature. She’s played by Wai Ching Ho, who started her career in the soap opera One Life To Live. Since then she’s appeared in a number of movies and...
Mr. Gao is a kindly fixture at the Lee family temple, with years of shaman experience. He helps the women of Mei’s family through their “panda problem.” He’s played by James Hong, whose IMDB counts 450 creditsgoing all the way back to 1954, which includes a great deal of voiceover, film, and television roles. He’s one of those actors who’s appeared...
