"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.
