Disney has unveiled its first plus-sized protagonist character in a short film about body dysmorphia.According to Mail Online, only plus-size characters have played the roles of villains and extras in the company's 85-year history.The film, which is called Reflect, follows the journey of a plus-size ballet dancer called Bianca, "who battles her own reflection, overcoming doubt and fear by channeling her inner strength, grace and power".

Many fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate the Disney news.One person said: "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. I'm glad little ones will have this. 10/10 for Reflect!"A second wrote: "THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Disney+ FINALLY made a short with a Plus Size lead! It's called Reflect and it's part of the Short Circuit short series. Let's just say I was SOBBING.""I saw this Disney short called Reflect and it emotionally tore me up. It's about a little plus size girl doing ballet and the mirrors start to swallow her up because of her body insecurity but she destroys them by dancing anyway," another added.Reflect is directed by Hillary Bradfield and available on Disney +.
