Merida is the main protagonist of the 2012 Disney/Pixar film Brave (2012). She is voiced by Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald. Merida was added to the Disney Princess line-up as the eleventh member, on May 11, 2013, becoming the first Disney Princess to be created by Pixar.
Yes. Disney designed Ariel to be a red head. Not keeping her as a red head in the remake is annoying. There is another red head princess in Brave, Merida.
Disney only introduced its first princess of color in 1992 with Jasmine in "Aladdin." And there are currently at least six princesses of color who appear in the parks: Jasmine, who's West Asian; Pocahontas, who's Indigenous; Mulan, who's Chinese; Tiana, who's Black; Moana, who's Polynesian; and Elena, who's Latina.
The thirteen characters in the franchise consist of Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Moana, and Raya.

Who is the newest Disney Princess?
The newest Disney princess movie, released in 2021, is Raya and the Last Dragon. Raya is Disney's first Southeast Asian princess voiced by Kelly Marie Tran. Big names like Awkwafina, Gemma Chan, Sandra Oh and Daniel Dae Kim also voice characters in the film.
For a rundown, the 11 characters of the official Disney Princess franchise are Snow White (age 14), Jasmine (15), Ariel (16), Aurora (16), Mulan (16), Merida (16), Belle (17), Pocahontas (18), Rapunzel (18), Cinderella (19) and Tiana (19).
Princess Eilonwy has been nicknamed by fans as the "Forgotten Disney Princess" because of her little-known status and the fact she is not an "official" Disney Princess, despite being a princess by birth, like Kida Nedakh from Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
Madame Medusa bears a hideous appearance, of which she seemingly remains unaware. She has excess makeup, sagging breasts, green eyes with artificial eyelashes, and wild, fiery red hair to suit her fiery personality. She wears a red, shoulder-baring dress and pink high heels.
Merida's thick curly reddish-orange hair is much smoother, for it was quite thick in her film. There has, however, been controversy on her redesign from her creator.
Who was the prettiest Disney princess? The most prettiest Disney princess is Aurora of the "Sleeping Beauty" (voiced by Mary Costa). Her classic beauty, graceful demeanor, and the enchanting story that surrounds her enhance her appeal.
Though Kida is roughly 8,500 - 8,800 years old (according to Milo), she physically resembles someone in their mid-late 20's. Her attire changes when she transitions from princess to queen, with her clothes going from being very revealing to being elaborate.
Originally Esmeralda and Tinker Bell were part of the franchise but were dropped within a year because it was felt that they did not align with the brand. Several official Disney princesses are missing from the franchise including Anna and Elsa from Frozen (2013).
This will be the first Disney feature that is led by an African princess. Although Tiana from The Princess and the Frog and Asha from Wish are also of African descent, they weren't born royals and thus does not count.
While some claim Jasmine is Arab because the movie opens with a song called Arabian Nights, others believe that the architecture in Agrabah is clearly based on the Taj Mahal, making Jasmine Indian. It's a debate that has fueled speculation that in Hollywood, Indians and Arabs are interchangeable.
In the first Frozen movie, Elsa's age was 21, while Anna was 18. Considering Frozen revolved around Elsa's coronation, it's refreshing to see that Arendelle waited until she was a more appropriate age to receive the queen title. Frozen II occurred after a 3-year time jump, with Elsa now 24 and Anna 21.
Although Elsa is not the only character with disability in the Disney canon, she is the first princess 1 to be designed with disability in mind, and one of only two human characters with visible disability to make the cut at all since Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996).
How old are Elsa and Anna? The stars of Frozen, Queen Elsa and Princess Anna, are sisters who, along with their friends, seek to reverse the infinite winter that afflicts their home. In Frozen, Elsa is 21 and Anna is 18. In Frozen II, both are a few years older - Elsa is 24 and Anna is 21.
