DISNEY+ SIZE: New Film Features ‘Plus Size Girl’ Struggling with ‘Body Dysmorphia’

A new short film from Disney called ‘reflect’ is the first project from the studio to feature a “plus size heroine” dealing with personal issues including “body dysmorphia.”

From The Daily Mail:

Disney has created its first plus-size protagonist for a powerful short film about body dysmorphia. 

In the company’s 85-year history of making movies, plus-size characters have only ever featured in the roles of villains or extras – and fans are full of praise for the change. 

The film, entitled Reflect, follows the story of a young plus-size ballet dancer named Bianca, ‘who battles her own reflection, overcoming doubt and fear by channeling her inner strength, grace and power.’
