Disney has dedicated the entire episode of the new Big Hero 6! Disney Plus series for girls facing menarche. It shows that the protagonist is seeking recommendations for menstrual products at the pharmacy.
A historically unusual move for media companies and their animation departments, the show delves into the feelings and experiences that many have when they first started menstruating.
Released on June 29th at Disney Plus, the six-episode series follows Disney’s 2014 Oscar-winning movie, Big Hero 6, the friendly inflatable healthcare companion, Big Hero 6.
Now, according to series creator Don Hall, he’s interacting with “ordinary people” to identify and fix their physical problems.
The cast will include Scott Adsit as Big Hero 6 and Maya Rudolph as Aunt Cass, replaying their role from the film.
In episode 3 of the Walt Disney Animation Studios show, Big Hero 6 encounters 12-year-old Sophia panicking in the bathroom after her menarche.
After worrying about the lack of “feminine hygiene” as Big Hero 6 says, Sophia goes to the pharmacy and helps a fellow customer who offers winged and non-winged tampons and “scent and bleach prices”. Ask for options, “environmentally friendly” choices, and something that might be easier for the first time.
Among the crowd of inclusive recommenders is a father who says, “My daughter always gets these,” and a pink, blue, and white stripe that looks like a clear nod to the transgender pride flag. There is a character of.
After being presented with many options, Sophia panicked about not being able to use tampons and suggested to Big Hero 6:
He will also counsel later:’People often feel embarrassed, afraid, or uncomfortable with the subject of menstruation, but it’s just biology. It’s not embarrassing. “
This new release follows the breakthrough Disney Pixar movie “I Occasionally Lesser” released on a streaming platform in March, which also addresses the topic of menstruation.
In this movie, the main character, Mei’s mother, Min, is seen rearranging the stack of tampons and pads. It is believed to have been shown for the first time in a Disney animated film after thinking that her 13-year-old daughter was menstruating. For the first time she does not transform into a giant red panda.
In fact, sometimes I can read the transformation of the panda in the center of the lesser as an obvious metaphor for menstruation. Mei is surprised and panicked by what’s happening to her body and hates people to find out.
She is also triggered by her changes by high stress and emotional moments.
By including what many consider to be a taboo topic, Lesser sometimes faced a backlash. Some viewers bombed Rotten Tomatoes with low-rated reviews, branding the movie “aggressive and rude,” “totally unsuitable for children,” and “disgusting.”
Director Domee Shi said he wanted to explore adolescent “juicy” topics and sometimes I’m a dynamic mother and daughter of Lesser. Metro.co.uk At the Gala Screening in the UK:’I think I felt I needed to explore more about the parent-child relationship, but I wanted to explore the peculiarities of the mother-daughter relationship, especially throughout adolescence. ..
“It’s so complicated, so emotional, and so awkward that it was really worth having its own feature film to really analyze and explore it.”
Big Hero 6! And Turning Red are both now streamable on Disney Plus.
