NEW characters could be coming to Disneyland soon!
Disneyland
Disney is in the process of adding several characters to the parks — we recently saw a casting call for Luisa from Encanto, and Figment just made his debut in EPCOT. Now, Disney is looking to cast several character look-alikes from a popular Pixar movie.
On Disney’s auditions website, they just posted several casting calls for Turning Red character look-alikes!

Not TOO excited, though, Mei!
Some of the characters that they’re looking for include members of the 4*Town boy band, Jin Lee (Meilin’s father), and Meilin’s friends.

Turning Red is on Disney+ too!
Disney noted that these roles are for “upcoming special events and appearances at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim CA.”

4*Town Forever!
Here’s a full list of the characters Disney is casting roles for:
- Robaire (5’6”-5’9”) is the Leader of 4*Town for a reason. He will eventually have a successful solo career, but until then, he’s content to jam on the tour bus with his four best friends.
- Tae Young (5’5”-5’7”) is the youngest member of 4*Town and known as the “Cute One.” A lover of animals, Tae Young is dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and has personally fostered injured doves between tours.
- Jesse (5’9”-5’11”) is the oldest member of 4*Town. Jesse was in art school studying a degree in ceramics before the band took off. When fame starts getting to his head, throwing clay on his potter’s wheel and spending time with his two kids brings him back down to earth. Jesse is the “Artistic One.”
- Aaron Z (5’9”-5’11”) is the athlete of 4*Town and the strongest dancer. Aaron Z coordinates a lot of the band’s moves and chills out by shooting hoops. Stoic and a little shy, he’s known as the “Lone Wolf” of the group.
- Aaron T (5’6”-5’9”) is fast-talking and a natural comedian. “T” is always there to break the tension when life on the road gets tense. He’s a fun-loving prankster who remains happy and laidback, even after facing interviews.
- Jin Lee (5’7”-5’10”) is the quiet, steady presence in the Lee family. Jin works hard and aspires to a life of simple pleasures. Devoted to family, Jin is a necessary balance to his strong-willed wife Ming and is a doting father to their daughter Meilin. Even though an ancient phenomenon has thrown his family into chaos, Jin remains trusting, supportive and loving.
- Miriam (5’5”-5’7”) is loyal, easygoing and a total goof who can make her besties laugh when they need it most. Miriam regularly rocks a flannel and she shares her friends’ obsession with the epic boy band 4*Town. Miriam would do anything for the people she cares about, especially when their best friend Meilin transforms into a giant red panda.
- Priya (5’3”-5’5”) is meticulous yet artsy, passionate yet stoic. She cares deeply for the well-being of her friends. Priya’s effortlessly chill and deadpan sense of humor make her a wildcard. She takes a calm and collected approach to school, friendship and just about anything – except 4*Town. Even Priya can’t contain her love of 4*Town.
- Abby (4’11”-5’1”) is a stick of dynamite. The opposite of shy, Abby is not afraid to be heard. Fierce and passionate, she’s a tiny ball of energy who never hesitates to stand up and support her friends. Yet this tough cookie can’t help but show her soft side for Red Panda Mei. (All that extreme fluff is just too hard not to hug!)

‘Turning Red’ Dolls
Disney’s casting call didn’t include a Meilin look-alike, so maybe she’ll be present in her giant red panda form! It’s not clear yet whether these characters will have meet-and-greets or be part of a parade or special event, so we’ll be watching for more updates from Disney.
