At this weekend's D23 (essentially Disney's Comic-Con), I got to speak with Kevin McKidd and Kelly Macdonald about Pixar's Brave. In the upcoming animated film arriving June 22nd, 2012, Macdonald plays an unruly daughter and an accomplished archer who defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. McKidd plays one of the kingdom’s three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin.
During the interview, they talked about being at D23, who they play in Brave and what it's about, how Brave is the first Pixar movie with a female protagonist and what that means, how the movie has changed during the recording process, and I also got in a question about the second season of Boardwalk Empire. Hit the jump to watch.
Finally, I’m going to be posting a lot more video interviews from D23, so make sure to keep checking back.
