Meeting Merida at Disneyland

[@vanessajohn560]

People don't realize that that is actully merida's accent she did a good job

[@joshfree5441]

I live in Scotland, and she doesn't quite sound like the indigenous folk, but she did a good job.

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Josh Free Most face characters really do try with their accents, but really the core audiences are children who can't tell the difference either way. They see Merida, and they know that she IS Merida, regardless of her voice.

[@MegaDeansy]

She sounds like she's from Edinburgh !

[@nikkdisneylover8390]

When the cubs first appeared, I was startled. I'm excited to go to Disneyland!

[@jellyfuku]

She is SO pretty. And she has the accent too! What a great member to the Disney family.

[@batsliketofly]

I'm going to Disneyland first time in April hope to meet Merida. I heard she is one of the nicest characters to meet. I have met the one in Disney World last year and she loved my red hair.

[@jacobtedder4813]

She is is one of the nicest

[@Rpartin93]

Merida is so pretty and so cute, I really hope she's permanent and she gets a spot as a disney princess...

[@LegglessNova]

that was so cute when this one lady mett Merida holding a bear cub plushie and the three bear cubs were all surprised and started laughing.

[@Devious-Minds]

I wonder if she knows archery. Not Merida but the girl that plays her here.

[@NOMdinosaurs]

She's such a good actress! I'd love to meet her!

[@charitytelford3303]

For me it completely stopped at 4:50-5:09. Super cute though!!! Absolutely love her already! :D

[@MichelaSings]

She is too precious. I can't take it. So cute.

[@LadyWervyn]

Awww the brother bear animatronics are so cute :D

[@Seii.A1]

Wow! Merida looks so kind and nice. The interaction she had with the boys was so cute too! ^^ Also your so pretty! Your haircut suits you.

[@veronicachoquesarco3859]

The Triplets eat Cake the Transformation of Bear Cubs

[@briannacherrygarcia]

I don't work at the park anymore, I just work for for Disney as a contracted artist now.

[@hawaiianbabyxoxo]

Omg... The bears are sooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@disneygeek23]

Cant wait to meet her! I love how interactive the little bear cubs are,too! :)

[@lensol]

I am in love with her! I was watching the movie and I just "she don't wanna get married, she wanna fight and do her own thing... She's a feminist!"

[@JediJuniper92]

Aww Merida is just perfect..I hope I can go back to Disneyland soon so I can meet her :D thanks for all the awesome videos, and LOVE your new haircut!!!

[@GraceShanahan]

it was awesome to meet you that day! I couldn't stop talking about it! thanx for chatting and looking at my art it was an honor

[@gogomonkey111]

She's my favourite Disney character!!

[@XDVDX41]

Its so funny when they interrupt her LOL

[@hadleystrainge]

Life goal: Meet Merida dressed in my Merida cosplay. It's gonna happen

[@aldricazucena9598]

Made my day hahahaha

[@930310]

Not happening since adults aren't allowed to cosplay in parks. This is because there is a risk that they will be mistaken for the actual character performers.

[@briannacherrygarcia]

No word if she'll be permanent. She'll definitely be around for a while!

[@snowsbeau]

Another great vid Bri!! Merida is awesome. Watching from Small World her line isn't that big yeat but I suspect that will change once the movie comes out!

[@caitlinjane92]

I'm so happy that Merida is a face character! Can't wait to see the movie "Brave." :D

[@sonicshadowlover13]

Wow! Merida is already there?! Cool! I would love to meet her there when I go to Disneyland.

[@chaoticfantasycosplays]

I saw Brave yesterday, and this woman makes a very good Merida.

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

She's got a great smile!

[@jackxsparrowxluverx]

She looks fantastic and your hair looks awesome :) Love the interactive bar cubs

[@juliakavanagh3400]

Happy birthday Merida 🎁🎈🎉🎂🎊🥳

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Key word is "trying!" Merida won't give anything away till the movie's out though. ;)

[@NymphWitchVamp]

I want her dress, it is so gorgeous!!!!!

[@Tetramina]

What a beautiful Merida. I love how when she walks away at the end it has a very tom boy feel to it. Either she's very good at getting into a role or that's just how she walks and casting is good at picking 'em, or both. lol Also love your new hair cut Bri. :)

[@ReiCarter]

I am so happy Merida decided to come visit everyone at Disneyland! :D

[@ShelbyxPwns]

Her accent is on point!

[@kkeggie4510]

with a lil bit of practise it will be but for now it sounds a wee bitty off. but that could just be me since I AM Scottish

[@PalmerRose4]

I just love her! And she's so beautiful!

[@lele2298]

Brazil has a lot to love Disney!! when will it be a Disneyland here? in São Paulo!!!!

[@honeybeeglory00]

yes, and they're probally motion sensored because i've seen a video where she and a little girl covered their eyes and they hid, they also smile for pictures

[@melshane23]

That is what I was wandering as well!!! I was like he looks really familiar to me for some reason. :)

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Oh no, he works as a puppeteer at the park. He just happens to look like Mr. Hatter.

[@canciana]

I love your haircut! It can be hard to still look feminine with shorter hair but you totally pull it off :D Merida is too cute and SO PRETTY it's unreal. thanks for the video, for those of us who can't visit the park this is absolutely fantastic.

[@Johnjacob654]

I miss Merida's old spot! Maybe she could be at California Adventure since she's a Pixar character! She's my most favorite princess!

[@Emodnet]

OH.My. God..! i love merida's hair!

[@BlackPearlGurl]

Adorable!! :D

[@chaoticfantasycosplays]

Merida is so pretty and I love her accent! You are quite lovely too, Bri. ;)

[@briannacherrygarcia]

It's right next to 'it's a small world'

[@heyheymister]

she's so cute!!! XD cant wait till the movie comes out!!!

[@BlackPearlGurl]

Yeup, mine definitely lags a little, but great footage!

[@GabyGibson]

Got to meet Merida in June! Didn't get to spend much time with her though, seeing as there was a line behind us. But she was cool, and I got a good picture :)

[@briannacherrygarcia]

He's just a friend who also works at the park. He was actually in an earlier video, "The Best Sword in the Stone Ceremony Ever."

[@quickattack]

The bears sound super loud. Are they that loud in person? I've yet to make my way over to check it out. Thanks for the video.

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Thank you! I was hesitant about cutting my hair so short, but I ended up loving it. :3

[@KacieGalyon]

Dream job, right there! What kind of artwork do you work on? If you don't mind me asking.

[@Cardz2004]

LOVE your vids, esp. since I can never get out to California and my only exposure to Disney is through Disney World (which seems to have a TOTALLY different feel from Disneyland, it seems to be more character interactive to me from your vids). The new character also seems great! I haven't heard much buzz on the movie so I'm totally gonna have to check that out! I do have to ask: Who was the guy who was with you? I didn't recognize him from any of your earlier vids? Thanks for the great videos!

[@jawshrawd]

I see what your friend did with the question of the three cubs and her brothers. Trying to get a little background to the movie is he not?

[@CutesyBubblez]

Yea, it lags. Glad to know it's not just me. Great vid! I love her accent and hair.

[@ghostofthespire]

Merida is perfect! I love your hair as well!

[@nicksynet]

i really wish they would hire someone Scottish to play Merida Americans really cant pull the accent off no offense or anything.

[@Anna_TheWitch]

Yurp, the video lags a little. And I am FOREVER jealous that you get to work in Disney and see all of the characters! cB

[@briannacherrygarcia]

For the moment I can't really talk about it, y'know Disney privacy and all that. But I really enjoy it!

[@julianaju2692]

WOW! I have to go in Disneyland meet Merida!

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Down by it's a small world.

[@melshane23]

Love this video. I was wandering, is Merida scottish or Irish?? She sounds like she would be from Scotland. Also I love you short hair Brianna, very pretty. :)

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Yep, she does.

[@n1ss13]

She's perfect!

[@leellee1]

4:51...but still super cool! She's fun! So Bri...you still do anything at the park or strictly freelance these days? Still think Lasseter should hire you up in Nor Cal. :)

[@Angus_Gibson]

Is there one at Disney World too???

[@briannacherrygarcia]

they interact directly with her

[@GingerBehr4]

Are those bear cubs...voice responsive? O_o

[@flwrgrl13]

ooh i wanna meet her now, does she sign autographs?

[@GuiltyWithGlee]

I think something about her travels from California to Florida change her because she's MUCH better when she's visiting Disneyland.....

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Quite a few things actually. Most of them I can't say, though. Would kinda give away the magic.

[@valesvisions]

so, do those bears interact with what she is saying or they just do that at random?

[@stuntdog63]

So much fun!!

[@briannacherrygarcia]

I was told Disney does exactly that for their new characters.

[@gothrockfairy]

hey Brianna I'm going to disneyland in december will Merida still be around this area?

[@PikachuJackskeling94]

hey bri you were wondering if the video lags well it lagged for me. and also a friend and I were there yesterday for the Gumball Rally and when we got home and heard that you were there as well we were sad we didn't see you. (we were over by Merida riding Small World about 8:25-8:30 were you there at that time?)

[@sewthernbelle]

yeah it does lag a bit, and it's hard to hear Merida over the bear cubs. And your snickering camera man. lol ;) Meanwhile, I was wondering how they're were gonna handle finding someone that could handle an scottish accent.

[@AvidNightmareFan]

yeah there was a bit of a lag on the comments above you say your friend is a puppeteer what does he puppet or however you say that

[@annabrashear1249]

Well, she is a princess so she should be there with the rest.

[@philoween_trends]

fun video! she's great!

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Not really, it was less than an hour (which is pretty good for a new character).

[@danielaurista]

Wait,they also have that at Disneyland?I thought only at Disneyworld.

[@melaniecunliffe7888]

I think that people should be thankful that she's at least trying to do the Scottish accent as they're very difficult to pull of:)

[@minidx315]

OMG when i was there i asked how do the bears work and staying in character said three magic witches (cast members) work with their wonder sticks (remotes) and control my brothers do but they be asleep by midnight (off) i love that cast member

[@flwrgrl13]

oh ok, did you get it or do you know what it looks like?

[@FatherTime89]

You know I thought Brave was a mediocre movie but looking back Meridia seemed like she'd be a cool person to be friends with.

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Just don't want to. That and I've heard from many of them that they hate signing them anyway. It takes away from the interaction. I've seen so many kids just walk up to a character and shove an autograph book in their face without saying a word. Characters enjoy talking, not just signing paper.

[@briannacherrygarcia]

Argh, that's a bummer.

[@MOlmMPhe]

On July 27th I will go to Disneyland :D and I want to know which Disney characters will be on that like or any idea which ones would be there when I go :)

[@M1NDCR4WL3R]

this is awesome!

[@rebeccarobison7311]

next time you go check by small world. thats were i saw her last month

[@KatieCochran]

Is she going to be permanent there? I'd love to see her. =)

[@AvidNightmareFan]

aww, well that's true thanks for replying ^_^

[@zombieinajar]

i wonder if someone is controlling the bears? and having tem react accordingly? or if they are randomized..

[@iGoRawrsx]

I saw her in July and I'm going back in January! I wanna ask her why her brothers are still bears. Hahaha

[@blakegriplingph]

Should've asked her to say "purple burglar alarm".

[@vverewolfchick]

Hey Briberry, where can we view your work?

[@rayluvsmusic]

shes beautiful

[@DailyDoseOfMatt]

now who would win in an archery competition: Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games) or Merida? haha
