\u201c@PopBase These negative ppl can mind their business. She is the representation I needed when I was a kid because I DID have body image issues. It isn\u2019t encouraging people to be fat, it\u2019s encouraging people of all sizes to LOVE and RESPECT themselves regardless of weight\u201d

\u201cIt's no coincidence that I stopped enjoying dance around the time I started being bullied about, and started hating, my body. I quit dance when I was 9.\nI cannot imagine how differently things would have turned out for me if this existed when I was a kid. Thank you @disney\u201d

\u201cWish it was made 20 years ago but my innerchild is dancing for joy that an animation like #Reflect has been made! My younger dancer self needed to watch something like that \ud83d\udc83\u2764\ufe0f\n\n#dysmorphia #bodypositivity @Disney @DisneyPlus\u201d

\u201c16 year old me needed this Disney short before I quit ballet because I didn\u2019t want to be the fat girl in class anymore. I\u2019m glad little ones will have this. 10/10 for Reflect!\u201d

\u201c@DisneyAnimation @DisneyPlus So many bullies on here. You should be ashamed of yourselves!\u201d

\u201c@PopBase Honestly this is extremely depressing. Disney has been making films for almost a century and only now are they having a plus size protagonist and her whole story line is about hating her body???\u201d

— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1666885207

\u201c@PopBase Nice but it would be better if they made a plus size character who\u2019s story doesn\u2019t revolve around their body image.\u201d

\u201c@liasmultiverse @PopBase disney try making a story about a non white skinny pretty girl without it centering around her struggles and stereotypes challenge (impossible)\u201d
