Meeting Merida

[tinks_1989]

I have been watching youtube videos of the new meet and greet!

What does every one think?

Can Disney not just hire a Scottish cast member to dress as Merida? I have watched a few different ones and her accent seems to change one sounded slightly Australian and another Irish!

I do love the theme of the new area though it is really well done and I love the Disney touches of the three bears being there!

I haven't seen any of the YouTube videos but just wanted to say it's been featured in our newspapers up here recently about the accents being awful! I was a bit surprised as a few weeks earlier the same paper was highlighting the fact that if you were a Scottish girl with red hair and could speak a little Gaelic then you should get applying

How strange unread Americans saying she was really good accent and all but I thought it was really bad from the videos I have seen! May be I'm confused! I wonder what will happen in DIsneyland Paris French with a Scottish accent!?!?

Haha, that will be interesting!

I dug out the article - you can read it here - and it literally says exactly what your first post does!

I met her ans she was awful! Didn't help that the film is not out yet so couldn't really tell if she was in character!

I just think the lengths Disney go to keep things so perfect all the little detail why they cant just employ a Scottish actress is beyond me!

There are a few videos and comments on this site about her accent!

When Tom and I watched it, we both said it was more Irish... but then the American's don't seem to notice so much.
