Lilo and Stitch
In the Disney movie Lilo and Stich, Lilo is a little girl growing up in Hawaii being raised by her sister after her parents were killed in a car accident.

Although Lilo doesn’t have parents she acts like a real kid, she’s chubby therefore breaking a Disney stereotype that girls need to be skinny to be beautiful.

Lilo is a little girl, not shown in school so probably 4 or 5 years old who’s sister Nani is raising her on her own while trying to find and keep
