Girl who inspired Encanto character gets Bafta invite from director
A British girl who was the inspiration behind a character from Disney’s Encanto has been invited to attend the Bafta ceremony by the film’s director, Jared Bush.
12-year-old Lowri Moore wrote to Disney aged nine asking for more heroines to wear glasses, in a bid to see more people that looked like her in the media.
