Great finds! She looks so cute! It's nice to see her with the princess, y'know? Can't wait to see Elsa and Anna chilling (See what I did there? 
) with them in a year.

Yep! Lol. Maybe Mulan and Merida can help them..."kick some ice!"disneyprincess11 wrote:Wow, a LOT of books!
No, I think they mean "in" character. "On model" is a visual term, where "in character" is more a term describing a character's personality and actions. It could be argued that Merida isn't "in character" when she is shown doing things like cooking.Disney Duster wrote:Do you mean on model?bruno_wbt wrote:It depends on the book, here everyone is on character

Merida’s Royal Celebration will be hosted at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World on May 11 during Mother’s Day Weekend, a perfect time to recognize and celebrate Merida’s relationship with her own mother.
We know many of our fans are excited to celebrate Merida and are inspired by her story and the spirited optimism she embodies. I sat down with Katherine Sarafian, producer of Disney·Pixar’s Brave, to talk about Merida’s defining qualities and the special relationship she shares with her mother, Queen Elinor.
Q: All of the Disney Princess characters have their own, special inner qualities. What qualities does Merida bring to the Disney Princess royal court?
Katherine Sarafian: Merida is an adventurer and a warrior. She fights her battles, advocates for what she believes in and asserts her point of view. She adores her family, her horse Angus and her sport, archery. Merida refuses to let others tell her who she is. These are such relatable qualities for girls today. I love that there is room for all kinds of girls in the royal court, all of which are inspiring role models. Merida is unlike any of the other Disney princesses we've seen.
Q: Yes, and not only is Merida unique, she is a modern-day princess who embodies qualities that resonate with moms and daughters today. What do you think it takes to be a princess and why do you think Merida is so relatable?
Katherine Sarafian: I know a lot of moms and daughters today who share more open communication and still have different points of view. Not every child wants the same future that her parents want for her, much like Merida. How many of us have chosen a different path in life, but still retained our parents' love and respect? I know I have. Merida shows us that it's OK to tell the world who we are. That's a quality that I feel many girls can relate to today.

"When Queen Elinor placed the crown on Merida's head, it signified a moment of deep connection, as a mother recognized the spirit, heart and true personality of her daughter. It's moments like these that encapsulate what is special about being a princess, but also resonate with mothers across the world."
