In this new short film, Disney presents Bianca, a girl who is a dancer and is overweight, which led her to develop body dysmorphia. It is directed by Hillary Bradfield, who was also in charge of films like “Encanto” and “Frozen II“. Thus began to develop the story of Bianca.

When the company finally introduced its first plus-size female protagonist, it went viral on social networks and people started to empathize, and many users felt identified.

The short film is receiving really positive reviews as Disney is focusing more and more on real people.

The director Hillary Bradfield thought it was going to have a negative reception, because the previous titles where inclusive stories were introduced, were full of criticism.

“Just to see how people connect with the short film is very special, because I put so much into this and also a lot of the crew members; they invested a lot of their personal stories into this, so it’s been incredibly meaningful. I got some heartfelt messages from young dancers, and that was very meaningful, plus it gave me a thrill to think that people were watching our little two-minute film looking at your posture and checking things in the mirror is part of the craft, so it seemed like a good way to put her in that environment where she has to look at herself, but I didn’t want to do that.”

This is how “Reflect“, the story of Disney’s first overweight superheroine, has become a success that young people love and embraced with great affection, as the company has now decided to create much more real characters so that more people can identify with them.
