Disney's 'Reflect' stars a young plus-size ballet dancer -- and fans are excited

Though the film was first released on the platform in September as a part of the studio's Short Circuit Experimental Films series, many social media users are now celebrating "Reflect" as a win for representation among young girls.Disney finally has its first young plus-size heroine, and fans across the internet are elated.

"16 year old me needed this Disney short before I quit ballet because I didn't want to be the fat girl in class anymore," one user on Twitter said. "I'm glad little ones will have this. 10/10 for Reflect!" Body positivity is something director Hillary Bradfield strongly believes in, she said in an interview featured at the start of the short. Making the film from the perspective of a dancer, she explained, felt natural.

In the short, Bianca is able to overcome her negative feelings and dance freely. But body positivity and self-acceptance can be easier said than done, Bradfield said.

I'm waiting for a guy dressed as a woman to participate in womens swimming competitions as a Disney movie.
