All I'm saying is to do some thing a little differently. And I don't think that there were any Americans at the time of the story, so it wouldn't be historically accurate. And as for Elle Fanning, that's not exactly accurate when it comes to historical authenticity. As a historical fiction writer, it is my job to make sure I get all the facts and makes sure that everything is EXACTLY right. My point being is that Sleeping Beauty takes place in the 1300s (Prince Pillip and his father both point out that it's the 14th century, so it's set in the 1300s.) and America wasn't lived in by the British until 1607. That's three centuries BEFORE Americans even existed AND the American accent would be picked up later. Frankly, I would have picked Evanna Lynch to play Aurora, but oh well. Maybe she'll play Rapunzel a few decades from now. Another thing I'd like to point out is that Disney seems to want to have British actors and actresses.
