. “Reflect” is a short film now on Disney+ about a young ballet dancer named Bianca who struggles with her body image. Though the film was first released on the platform in September as a part of the studio’s Short Circuit Experimental Films series, many social media users are now celebrating “Reflect” as a win for representation among young girls. “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.
“It’s a part of the craft to be looking at your posture and checking things in the mirror, so it just seemed like a really good way to put her in that environment where she has to look at herself and she doesn’t want to,” Bradfield said. 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.
Fake news
They are glorifying obesity and an unhealthy life style. That’s very dangerous, to say the least.
Its good to acknowledge we are all different, all opposing looks and sizes. But to show this, because we believe it is politically correct, feels wrong.
Going to short Disney now LOL, thanks
The only people obsessed with weight are the ones in the media. Normal people are too poor to care.
I wonder if throughout the course of the show she will become normal sized because her mom supports that she’s working out finally
disney is business first and foremost. they don't give a shit about health & obesity as long as it makes money. This one is created for a specific crowd.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 estamos caminhando
You guys need to tag jordan peterson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SBakerMD
Elated 😂 … only in your circle of “journos” who smell their own farts
If there is one single thing you want to do to disadvantage your child, make them fat. Kids are cruel and this is likely to scar them for life as well as leave them with multiple health and mental issues for life.
chubby chicks rock!
Being fat is the normal now!
Is the main villan gravity?
Disgusting to try to normalize a disease. Nothing positive about fat.
There is nothing wrong with diversity in entertainment and widening acceptance of other people. The problem is this type of thing kills ‘suspension of disbelief’, the one thing that allows audiences to follow a story. That is why social engineering like this fails and loses money
All these comments, but it’s only a problem when it’s a little girl.
She looks healthy. What's her blood pressure and cholesterol look like?
Glorifying childhood obesity is disgusting
I am pretty sure the Disney and Pixar animations are just a money laundering scheme at this point.
Why promote obesity and unhealthy lifestyle
I'm a strong proponent of body positivity. But, do you know what really sucks? My niece was 5 when she told me that she could not breathe after running for a few seconds. My sister still stuffs her and my nephew with sugar and fat, cause 'this is what the kıds like to eat'
I Think it's Great Plus Size little girls should get to see them self's on the big screen
morbid obesity in children is a reflection of parental abuse so pretty much the disney MO.
Plus size handcuffs for Hunter Biden.
Make this 5 times you’ve posted this
GoWokeGoBroke
One website... anywhere. Any website that isn't just some obscure fatness blog. Just find one website where people are majoritarily in support of this trash. I dare you CNN. fakenews
FJB&LGB 🇺🇸
Disney promoting unhealthy life
Hopefully it’s someone trans and brown that’ll really set off fireworks.
Fat is healthy sure. Keep eating that great American junk food kids. Big pharma will love you in a few years
Not even close. Quit trying to normalize this.
lol
It's called fat, not plus sized.
Lie some more.
You have had this “news” for several days , why ?
So this article made me go and watch the short. It’s clear those with the negativity and fat shaming didn’t take the time to watch it.
I'll bet her toes hate her
Elated, like her blood pressure
No one is elated. Fat people are funny
are we now...
wtf is this.
We'll soon learn more people would rather watch Ishtar
The worst thing you could do to your child is allow them to get like this. Setting them up for a lifetime of illness and possible early demise. It’s almost child abuse.
From princesses to Prilosec in just a few short years.
The oversized ones I am sure
Disney shud change its name to Disgustney...
Nice job promoting diabetes
stop promoting obesity!!! It’s not healthy!!!!
Yas!! Slay my morbidly obese xueen! 💅🌈
I'm sure she's a beautiful young person but your claim is entirely false. Maybe one half of one percent are 'elated' as you put it. And maybe five percent of the population thinks 'that's nice'. Fake news knows no bounds.
P.S. no child that size, with those ratios, with that bodytype....would even be able to make it through ballet school or even do 80% of the moves required. Stop lying to children and harming them for some weird woke 'fat clout'
🤮
Thanks CNN, but I've already cancelled my Disney+ subscription. I didn't need another reason.
Everyone is ditching Disney didn't you get the memo?
This is the third time in one day I've seen you repost this. I'm guessing at this point that it's a paid advertisement by Disney. Are the paid Pfizer ads you've been pretending are 'news segments' for the last 3 years finally no longer keeping you solvent?
We’re all headed to WALL-E scenarios, just saying.
Why didn't California Deport Drug Addict, homeless illegal alien with mental problems, David DePape, who had multiple Convictions going back decades?
I’ve seen what parents buy their kids in the grocery store. Kids are fat because of what their parents feed them. America needs a national nutrition education program, even if it means subsidizing vegetables.
Now show her medication her as nicety depression and then take her off the screen
Fat acceptance is easier than raising fit and healthy kids I suppose.
It's good that now children will have a fat cartoon to use to make fun of all the similarly shaped little girls in their schools. Thanks, Disney.
What will be her superpower? Have no diabetes? 😂😂🤣
When you're at the Hereditary Seal with the sewing needle than it's strongly advised to take up the hobby, playing with Lego blocks, on the floor. Though, 'Woof! Woof!' for Bulldog may be that an female, of all sizes, are not after an dog they're after an good time with friends.
Nothing like some childhood obesity to make the liberals feel warm and fuzzy.
Gross and deceptive
TigrayGenocide
Is it physically possible for a human foot to support this weight on point?
What, 70 years after their first feature? We are supposed to celebrate this?
Does Disney show how she’s on diabetes pills as well?
cute 😌
Not healthy.
Finally?
Fat is not healthy. Name an obese 70 year old.
And Dina Beetus is her name.
I have not met a single person who is elated, or cares about whatever the fuck this is.
Why does this have to be addressed though, the lil boy from “up” was a big boy and we didn’t make that a big deal nor is it a big deal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Realistically, an obese person couldn't move like that without perspiring and being winded. However, if the girl keeps up ballet, she'll drop those pounds and feel better. Working out and eating healthy should be the lesson. More Celery and less Doritos
You forgetting this legend
I actually feel for obese parents and children. So many lies about food that we've been taught to believe, and ingredients hidden that cause these issues - sugar, vegetable oils/seeds, 'food pyramid'/'heart healthy' scams. If you don't know how to educate yourself... You won't.
Normalizing fat kids is not good for their future. I cringe when I see obese parents and kids eating out. Just sad what laziness does.
How many fat ballerinas have you ever seen.
so when the overweight kid wants to do ballet but cant bc ballet dancers cant be fat then what, its maybe reality that American kids are obese but its not reality they can do ballet
Advocating obesity?
“Finally”
Yes, let's embrace and celebrate childhood obesity. It's get your fat kid an electric bike for Xmas.
Fat is not cute or worth celebrating.
Disgusting
Lol!
I’m reserving my praise until we hear its pronouns.
Really? Why? People are elated to champion a kid who is riding the road to a lifetime of weight-related health issues? That's not a good thing.
Reminds me of this one plus sized dancer whose amazing as a ballerina, this is great.
And thats not normal being overweight.
We should not normalize obesity 🤦🏻♀️ We need to promote fitness for life 🧍🏻♀️
Fat kids don't get into ballet class because they cannot move properly and sure as shit cannot be lifted. Sorry. Quit setting kids up to fail due to unrealistic goals. Passion is one thing, talent is a whole 'nother animal...
I guess watching all the fat people die from the china virus had no effect on some people’s choices.
Yet another Get Woke, Go Broke franchise. This one won't get any viewers either.
LMFAOOOO
Ballet is hard enough on the body let alone adding excess weight. I'd argue it's this short film that is giving people unrealistic life goals
Totally agree... But we not gonna turn into vegetables and encourage material health separate from childish vanity... Our children are going to go out and be active and fit and involve themselves in ways designed to mature them and teach them discipline and self determination...
Finally ? Like anyone was waiting for this ?
A comedy about a fat little girl? Isn’t that fatshaming?
Glamorizing obesity is not helping little children.
Yes, join us on the magical journey to diabetes, joint pain, heart disease, and sleep apnea. Can't wait for the ride at Disneyland
USA stop pretending you are nice people! You are not! And then with your corrupt media you try to impose your fake standards on other societies.
I hope this is not sponsored by Coca Cola and XL free refills of colored juices.
Looks like Ms piggy
You mean you are elated.
🤮🤮🤮 Disney sucks and CNN is fake news
Promoting kids obesity is for sure something to be proud of….ridiculous cantsayanything wrong
How many fucking times have I see this story over a couple of days by different outlets and in every instance everyone ripped on it? THIS is why no one has respect for the MSM like they used to.
Does George Foreman make an appearance in the movie with his grill?
More people are furious with this, stop trying to push your woke agenda
Just waiting for the headline “broken ankles in plus-size kids”
Too much CO2 😁
No one wants to see fat slobs dancing in tights.
They're so exited they almost stood up!
“Fans across the Internet are elated”🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Disney currently selling park tickets and accommodation for the Xmas period at greatly reduced prices because of lack of bookings. SocialEngineering GoWokGoBroke
Comment section:
We should never discourage heavy people from exercising. They should feel comfortable and welcome to join any physical activity. This is almost a weird opposite of fat shaming. Like you're fat why do you think you can do that? If a fat ballerina offends you, you have issues.
This is not something I want my daughter to aspire to.
Movie title. Diabeetus.
While you may be a lazy, fat, undisciplined person in real life—Disney is here to justify your gross existence.
Quit promotioning obesity! Cardiovascular disease isn’t cool
That's right Disney ...promote obesity let a few more die...doesn't that align w/ the globalist agenda? BoycottDisney
Sweet let's normalize obesity!
Hopefully she loses weight by the end of the film.
Obesity is one of the biggest problems of America, it creates numerous health problems and not to mention the strain it puts on health care. Another poor judgment by the mouse house. 2022 has not been a good year for Disney.
Can't wait for Disney's first Non-Euclidian Transdimensional Light Entity Theyro
ObesityKills !
Nothing heroic about heart disease and diabetes.
If she ate crickets, this commercial wouldn’t exist.
Promoting curvy bodies is fine, but obesity is a problem.
Everything woke turns to shit.
How sad.
Encouraging an non healthy life style for kids , bravo
Obesity shouldn't be celebrated. And don't say a word about climate change if you're a single pound overweight.
No they are not
Promoting mental and physical diseases among youth while creating a fictional world for them. The no1 aim at CNN.
Long overdue
No they’re not
Stop promoting unhealthy lifestyles.
If they really wanna hit me in the feels, they’d do one about a fat boy who finally has the courage to take his shirt off to go in the pool. 😂
_ANEWS_ If Disney is promoting something, hide your kids. Disney is an enabler for groomers to prey on children. IMO all Disney wants to do is destroy the family foundation.
Which social Media is that again?
Celebrating child obesity is not a good thing. There is a huge issue with kids and type 2 diabetes. Why in the world are we normalizing this !!
By plus-size you mean fat and physically unfit?
So it is okay to risk your health by obesity?
Poor toes.
This is hypocritically insinuated ... No one likes fat pple .. even fat pple dont like themselves.. period 😂
Promoting obesity is not a healthy idea.
Guess Disney owns CNN ... hmmmm
DI$NEY
Why?
The murderers of killing the Queen: The murderers of killing the Queen: For 40 years China's total killer for implementing specific affairs in the US is Trump, in China is Wang Yi. So this time are still the two. Other murderers: Boris Johnson, Macron, Chinese of US and UK……
Yup! Something else for my kids NOT to watch.
yay lets promote unhealthy habits and glorify being a slob
'Elated'
That is horrible
Does anyone actually care? Or are people really that shallow nowadays?
1) Jan 2021 - Biden takes office, inflation is 1.5%. 2) Dem President & Congress recklessly spend Trillions of dollars we don’t have. 3) September 2022 - Inflation 8.2%. Mid/upper class can still afford food/gas. Poor people suffering the most. STOP THIS MADNESS. VOTE OUT DEMS.
disney!?!?!? my looking fantasy video!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂stop it 😀

The More You Know.........⭐
From Fashion to Fatshion! Normal sized people can't find clothes that aren't tents!
Now 97% of all Disneyworlds guests will feel normal now
Disney is chasing the $$. It’s what they do best. Unfortunately, fat kids are the “growing” market. evilmouse
Obesity especially beginning at an early age is unhealthier than smoking. Why glorify it?
All these hateful people anything but fat right. Put her in a rainbow hack out her lady parts, hormones and they rejoice. But they have the gull to call her unhealthy.
The gym owner’s lives matter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Child abuse
Morbidly obese children - disneys key target Demo. 👏
Disgusting, especially after world's been held hostage for 2+ years by sedentary fast foodies with decimated immune systems demanding everyone respect their health they neglect: 78% COVID hospitalizations and fatalities were overweight/obese
Body positivity is all well and good, but normalising obesity in young people is a car crash waiting to happen in terms of their future health problems and the accompanying pressure on health services
Looks like the obese people from Wall-E LMFAO
That’s an extremely unhealthy ballet dancer. Plus-size = unhealthy. Plus-size should never be glamorized.
Finally, they put health before anything else!
It is never healthy for a child to be obese
I think a good story can also be about finding one’s true talent after an initial disappointment. I was turned down in baseball twice in high school since I wasn’t athletic enough. I then found psychology in college and eventually earned my PhD.
I don't believe this is the way forward. I just feel sorry for all those kids who don't get a healthy diet and exercise from their parents.
Haahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahqhaahhq😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Mac Donald model 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get woke go broke. Boycot nasty Disney.
First whale Disney character! Thumbs up!
Why didn't they also make her black?
This article makes me not want to watch this
I think representation is good, when it's for a group that is under- represented. Overweight people are by definition over represented due to mounds of redundant protoplasm. And they make my eyes sad.
Lol wut
Mirrorworks did it better!!!!
Love the times where movies where just about a good script and having a good time . Now we need to have politics and social matters everywhere… Beauty and the beast would be banned today 😂😂😂 PC is destroying arts and creativity
Normalising obesity......yea well done Disney
It's a big deal and it's no big deal. Weird that ppl get upset.
Miss the time where they focused more on the script than the representation
Lowering of the the proverbial bar. No thanks
🤢
I’m sure Disney marketing would love for us to believe that.
her tiptoes have noway to afford her weight. If they can,their hardness are very high
Who is this 'elated' group you speak of? Where?
Loving it! But less see how many people complain about “woke.” Bc encouraging kids to not feel bad about themselves somehow is “woke.”
Good on Disney, I’m more than 8 years old and I remember when that mean Michelle Obama wanted to combat childhood obesity because of all the health risks attributed to it.
Good, at least this poor overweight child is getting the exercise and discipline from ballet she so desperately needs in her life. Unless there is some thyroid issue affecting her metabolism, there is no reason a little girl needs to be that weight. Don’t shame, but don’t praise
That is not plus size, it's obese. It's not a shameful state of being but it's something to attempt to get out of. It's not a healthy state of being. It's dangerous to pretend that it is.
promoting early grave for kids again?
Wouldn't she be a better heroine if she lost the weight?
A lot of insecure basement dwellers upset about a cartoon
Yeah, lets all celebrate!
Childhood obesity shouldn’t be something to be proud of
Well done Disney!!! Like Obesity it something to wear like badge of honor! Extra weight is unhealthy, leads to many health issues, so instead ur promoting it 👏
Hopefully Elon Musk will get rid of all of those elated BOTS.
Y’all really trying to shove this down our throats with these reposts huh
Good, at least this poor overweight child is getting the exercise and discipline from ballet she so desperately needs in her life. Unless there is some thyroid issue affecting her metabolism, there is no reason a little girl needs to be that weight. Don’t shame, but don’t praise
So?
Bye bye toes.
“Plus-size”… You man fat.
They did it as a cartoon because real fat ballerinas break their toes
I'm sure they'll celebrate this eating a couple of bag of Cheetos.
Disney'll get a huge retention bonus.
Of course it’s a cartoon. Disney has made hippos ballet dancers before with less fanfare.
Can’t wait to read the data…..poor Western world 🌍 you sooooo fuuuckeddd uppppp
Disney always give the best funny animations for their global fans , love to see it soon 🤩
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
'Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health.' Source: WHO And as a formerly obese person (overweight 45kg) I might add that the normalization of obesity is very stupid.
No they are not
Jeez look at all the comments lmao, don’t y’all have anything else better to do? 😦
Being obese is unhealthy period, this body positivity campaign is silently killing people.
The irony is that most ballet dancers are small because they are athletes or very muscular. If you’re big it’s harder to move all that weight. Maybe they should’ve thought of a different concept.
Omg the woke Disney groomer want our children to be big fat fatties and take heroin, I will be canceling my Disney plus subscription. Smh 🤦♂️
They shouldn’t be. It’s horrible. Obesity is nothing to celebrate. It kills us
Are you going to call out your master over his misinformation on gas prices? It should your so called 'Breaking News' like you do with republicans... Parasites and biased... No wonder the roof of ratings keeps crashing
Stop telling kids it’s okay to be fat
Stop promoting being unhealthy
Those ankles must have been made of steel
Obesity version 2.5
Great! As if obesity isn’t a big enough problem… let’s encourage it.
Great idea Disney and CNN. Let’s encourage kids to lead a lifestyle that increases their risk of diabetes, hypertension, and a whole host of other medical issues that will cut years from their lives. So compassionate of you virtue signaling doofuses
I guess it was quite a small step for Disney to go from promoting mental disorders in children to encouraging them to embrace obesity.
Obese people sure can do ballet
Bit late..
So much respect for all the work the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, and The American Obesity Association have performed tirelessly for years.
CLOWN WORLD!!!!
Gross
You really hit one out of the park on this one cnn…😂😂😂😂😂
Wait until older will have broken bone every
No chance at success anymore that's for sure
Please also inform the youths of Iran who were killed on the streets by the bullets of the mullahs, so that the whole world knows that the path of the Iranian people is separate from the government of the mullahs.Mahsa_Amini
The fact it’s not a trans-boy is racist.
Disney content is awful anymore. Woke garbage
Please stop reporting firsts and just let entertain companies release movies based on its content/story
Covid taught you nothing! 🤦♂️
I doubt it
Yeah cool let’s encourage binge eating and unhealthy lifestyle
Awe I’m about to eat some candy bars ☺️
This is a correct aesthetic
正中大飞柱（逃
Diabetes will come at swift winds
Oh, women don't have dicks, btw
So being fat an unhealthy is a good thing now?
Been done already
Plus size needs to get healthy 😊🙏❤️✨👸🏻✨
To give false hope to children
Childhood obesity is not something to celebrate
I guess those people have never seen Wall-e, to say of fat people in that animated movie
Absolute lunacy!
Can’t wait for the first tattooed methhead character!
Always fat girls, are boys allowed to be fat too?
Can she act?
Romanticizing morbid obese people
billmaher please do a segment on this
Nevr wish diabetes and otr obese disease risk
“Finally”
America is trying to normalize being obese and not caring about yourself. Lol keep eating Cheetos chubby butts
Instead of advise people to eat healthy they're promoting unhealthy lifestyle because they produce the drugs for the sickness
Will Mattel charge more for the extra plastic or blame it on inflation? We’ll never know 😔…
No one’s elated
There are no plus sized ballet dancers…
YESSSSSS 👑👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰💖💗💓💕💞 EVERY KID ACROSS THE WORLD NEEDS REPRESENTATION, so if anybody has a problem with this go get your life✌🏿
Lilo was a fat kid too, iirc?
I mean, they already have talking fish and flying elephants. Why not a plus-size ballet dancer.
Lol CNN. We just got out of a pandemic that disproportionately impacted healthy people such as overweight people. Which spoiler alert is already a PROBLEM in the US. And you want to glorify this on kids? Good luck.
Realy? Are they?
Not the first. Plenty of plus size in wall-e. Baymax was big. Maui was big. 😄
No they’re not.
Just in time for the McRib
Has the GQP meltdown begun yet?
Doesn't anyone care that this is teaching little kids that they can just eat all the crap they want and be unhealthy still be able to do ballet?Disney is disgusting.
Lot's of haters on here,guess she should have come out as a rainbow 🌈. Then we would se praise and celebration
If it glamorizes fatness and unheqltht weight - I'm out. If its like a shaved version of the Red Panda movie - I'm out. If it shows the health repercussions of being overweight than sure. Maybe I'll watch. But probably not...I'd be bored with the topic.
Glad to see the Babylon Bee is back, thanks Elon! Babylonbee
Promoting obesity to make you fatter cattle, easier to slaughter.
She would be white
NiloofarHamedi and ElahehMohammadi, the 2 journalists who broke the news of MahsaAmini’s death, are being charged with spying/espionage for the U.S. A crime punishable by death. Be their voice. مهسا_امینی
When will they have one with the first star to have 6 toes on each foot?
Imagine promoting childhood obesity. Just skip to promoting how childhood diabetes is a good thing to.
Women and girls are being bombarded with unhealthy body images
Heroic eater.
How long before “plus size “ is an offensive term. I just know one day soon someone on twitter is going to attack someone for using it.
Not going to watch it or let my kids watch it
Is normalising obesity a good thing?
Finally, a Rosie O'Donnell for kids.
judging from the responses on your own thread they most certainly are not. Just more left wing woke trash from a formerly good news source. yaaaawn
