Mamma Mia 2!

I was watching the Mamma Mia! sequel today, and during the "Waterloo" scene, which we've all seen in the commercials and featurettes that the studio has been promoting, there was a hidden gem. And not just a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, either. A good ten seconds of a woman in a wheelchair.

And what was she doing, you ask? Was she there as a background extra, there to prove that the studio is "inclusive"? Nope. She sang along, and even had a solo dance moment! DANCING. Finally, someone figured out that people in wheelchairs can be active members of the cinematic community. Don'ton't even mention that kid on Glee, who wasn't even in a wheelchair. That was clearly a ploy to make people watch the show.

This woman clearly was enjoying her moment in the spotlight. Good for her.
