Some commenters have claimed that Merida had been 'Barbied up,' and many fans have expressed their displeasure at the changes, suggesting there are an attempt to change one of the fundamental things fans loved about the character in the first place. Some have highlighted how the new images of Merida show her with a thinner waistline, higher cheekbones, and with more flowing, glowing hair instead of her more rugged, messy look in the movie. However, Merida has now been crowned the new official Disney princess, and that crowning comes with a makeover. The character was loved by moviegoers for going against the usual princess stereotype.

The star of the film was Merida, voiced by actress Kelly MacDonald, who is a strong-willed, tough Scottish princess. The story and characters portrayed in the film received critical acclaim, especially the strong female cast.
