Disney has released the latest of its Short Circuit Experimental Films, Reflect, which follows the story of a young ballet dancer struggling with self-image. Director Hillary Bradfield said in a pre-roll interview that it was inspired by her own experiences with body image and her body positivity journey.

This marks the first time a plus-sized female character has played the lead in a Disney animated film. The film starts with the dancer reluctantly walking over to a mirror to stand between several thinner dancers. As they work through ballet positions, the teacher instructs her to focus on “tight tummy, long neck”.
