Here is something I think is important. Lilo and Stitch, the new movie from Disney. I am absolutely THRILLED to report that the bodies of the women in the movie are much more reasonably proportioned. I was struck by this as soon as I saw the animation. I have written to Disney thanking them for this. I hate to see wasp waisted heroines, because these images make our young girls feel inadequate and unattractive. The older sister in the movie looks very beautiful and HEALTHY. Bravo Disney.
