A schoolgirl who got Disney to create a princess with glasses in their hit animated feature Encanto has set her sights on challenging the stigma of the nerd face emoji.

Lowri Moore, 13, a glasses-wearer, had written — aged nine — to the entertainment superpower pleading for its next heroine to wear glasses, but initially feared her request had been ignored after being met with silence.
