This film although a animation- Which I am not doing; portays a story of a young, strong female. As this is distributed by Walt Disney Pictures this film is aimed at the younger generation, giving young females a good female figure to aspire to be like. I can tell that this film is aimed at the younger generation as the distributor is a well known childrens film maker as well as many other things. The lead girl isn't what is sterotypically cast as the main character, generally if a girl is cast as a lead (which is quite rare) she is the ideal woman, slim, pretty, poncy and big breasted. This character 'Merida' is not much like the stereotypical 'film girl' as she has round facial feature, making her appear chubby. She is also ginger. Gingers are rarely represented in a good way. In real life people are often bullied for being ginger, so perhaps Disney is reaching out to those poor innocent gingers, and saying 'it's ok to be ginger, you can still be the star of the show.'
In my film the girl chosen to play my main character, looks like the average teenager, which is what I want, as i'm showing her as a strong woman later on in the film, I want the younger female audience to relate to her which I don't feel as if they could do if she was this supermodel like person or insanely ugly. I think for small independent films the actors should be attractive but it's difficult for the average audience member to relate to people in which are so different to them. So, I think the fact my main character 'Hannah' (played by Molly Hemsley) is representing average people it allows the audience to connect with her emotions as well as her life as they can picture themselves in it easily.
