The film, which features Disney's first plus-size female protagonist, has garnered praise from social media users for encouraging body positivity.
In an introduction that is shown prior to the film,"Reflect" director Hillary Bradfield said the idea behind the short started when she first began thinking about her own body philosophy.
"I feel like I'm a very body-positive person in principle, but when it's on a personal level, it's a lot harder to be body-positive," Bradfield said. In the film, Bianca is seen practicing ballet in front of a mirror. As she is reflected, the mirror image breaks, and the animation shows her confidence wane. Eventually, however, she is able to use her ballet skills to overcome her negative feelings.
"I just watched reflect on Disney+ and it portrays body positivity and exactly how I felt as a child," another Twitter user wrote. I just watched reflect on Disney+ and it portrays body positivity and exactly how I felt as a child and now so well god I hate how I look but watching this can help me understand it’ll be okay to just be myself
