There's a movie coming out, for children, about, what if Snow White were fat?
The trailer highlights the apparently hilarious horror.
The pervasiveness of weight bias in children's movies, TV shows, and books is a near constant.
Can you imagine how you'd feel if you were a little girl with obesity and you saw this poster (let alone the movie)? Or if you were a schoolyard bully that hadn't yet started targeting kids for their weights (weight by the way is the number one target of bullies by a long shot).
It's horrifying that weight bias is so normalized that a movie studio signed off on this. Hopefully, with awareness, ticket sales will be sufficiently bad and the outcry sufficiently loud, so as to dissuade future such projects.
