Reflect follows Bianca, a young ballet dancer who struggles with her self-confidence and body dysmorphia

Disney has quietly debuted its first plus-size heroine in a new short film.

“Reflect,” part of the second season of Short Circuit, a series of experimental short films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, follows Bianca, a young ballet dancer who struggles with her self-confidence and body dysmorphia .

As her teacher inspects her position on the barre, reminding her “Tight tummy! Long neck!”, the mirror shatters around Bianca as she “struggles” with her body image.

The groundbreaking short film shows Bianca then overcoming her doubts and fears, channeling her inner strength and continuing her ballet lessons.

Directed by Hillary Bradfield, an artist who has worked on films such as Frozen 2 and Encanto, which featured Disney’s first bespectacled princess, the film will move you…
