“At the end of the session, there would just be a page of noises I would have to go through one by one,” says Macdonald. VIDEO: ‘Brave’s’ Craig Ferguson Admits He’s Like His ‘Pompous, Angry, Difficult’ Character Merida’s journey is quiet an adventure, which required Macdonald to voice a lot of physical moments, such as running into branches while riding a horse. Merida is then forced to use her bravery and skills as an archer to right a terrible wrong. The story follows Merida as she makes a wish to change her fate, that ends up having terrible consequences. While Merida may not sing, Macdonald, who plays Margaret Schroeder on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, had plenty of other challenges to overcome while voicing her character. “She’s out on a horse, she’s a bit of a tomboy, but she sings songs,” says the Scottish actress. It’s a shame that honor has now been tarnished in a makeover.Macdonald points out that Calamity Jane and Merida, the Scottish princess who bucks tradition in Pixar’s film, are more similar than not. Princess Merida was Pixar’s first female lead character. “I forget that Disney’s goal is to make money without concern for integrity. “They have been handed an opportunity on a silver platter to give their consumers something of more substance and quality - THAT WILL STILL SELL - and they have a total disregard for it in the name of their narrow minded view of what will make money,” Chapman wrote. It’s horrible! Merida was created to break that mold - to give young girls a better, stronger role model, a more attainable role model, something of substance, not just a pretty face that waits around for romance.”Ĭhapman believes that Disney could’ve had just as much success with a Brave merchandise line had they not changed her appearance.
“When little girls say they like it because it’s more sparkly, that’s all fine and good but, subconsciously, they are soaking in the sexy ‘come hither’ look and the skinny aspect of the new version. “I think it’s atrocious what they have done to Merida,” she added.
