It may have taken a while, but leave it to Disney to create a poignant short film about body dysmorphia starring a plus-size protagonist for the first time.
Plus-size characters have only ever made it in roles as villains or sidekicks, and fans are excited about the change. The film, which Hillary Bradfield directs, is titled Reflect. It 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.”
