A short -term cartoon "Reflection" is a full -fledged product of the current shift of the social paradigm. Over its 85-year history, Disney studio first introduced the main character Plus-Size. From time immemorial, they depicted exclusively villains or statists. As in the case of sexual variety of characters, an appeal to the topic of a problematic perception of your own body is an innovative initiative for the company.

In the center of the plot is a chubby girl named Bianca, dreaming of becoming a famous ballerina. A small passage from the cartoon shows how Bianca is engaged in dancing in front of the mirror. In the dark, its mirror reflection breaks into parts, which symbolizes the painful perception of her body. But the girl does not despair and continues to dance, breaking through the darkness into the stream of light. In fact, she fights with her own reflection and eventually defeats her fear and doubts.

Having met young Bianca, the audience was touched by the proximity that they felt to her story and character. “She looks exactly the same as I when I was at her age! The same situation in the dance class, ”wrote one of the users of social networks. And here is another comment: “I would like to see this cartoon when I was younger. How wonderful that everything is changing in the world! "

“Reflection” has become part of a series of experimental films of Disney studio, in which the main attention is paid to the problems of perception of your body and low self -esteem. Dysmorphophobia (a state in which a person is obsessed with his appearance) is most often found in adolescents). Often, people with this disorder are intentionally isolated from society, so as not to worry about the shortcomings of their own body and appearance.
