"The decision to make this witch look scarier by having a limb difference — which was not an original part of the plot — has real life consequences," said RespectAbility's vice president of communications Lauren Appelbaum, an advocate for more authentic portrayals of disability on screen. "Unfortunately, this representation in 'The Witches' teaches kids that limb differences are hideous or something to be afraid of. What type of message does this send to children with limb differences?"
