Finding Dory's disability culture

This illuminating article highlights many facets of disability culture present in Finding Dory.

excerpt:

“People with disabilities do not see themselves very often reflected in popular culture with authenticity steeped in the lived experience. Not only are many disabled characters played by non-disabled people; the storytellers are usually non-disabled who craft narratives about disability by using stereotypes and cliched tropes, robbing disabled characters and stories of agency and diversity.”

The article covers three main themes:

#1: Parental anxiety and support

#2: Social Exclusion and Ableism

#3: Collective Access
