- Stars of Disney Pixar's new film Brave visit Edinburgh for special preview
The stars of
Disney Pixar blockbuster Brave left Edinburgh yesterday after welcoming the
world’s press to Scotland.
Kelly
Macdonald, Kevin McKidd and Robbie Coltrane – who voice Princess Merida, Lord
MacGuffin and Lord Dingwall – spoke to journalists from around the globe
attending special previews before a gala dinner.
But they took
time out to chat to the Sunday Mail about their own Disney memories.
All the stars
are proud to be part of Brave –the story of Highland princess Merida – which
will have its European première when it closes the Edinburgh Film Festival on
June 30.
It goes on
general release in the UK in August and Kevin hopes Scots moviegoers will be
delighted by the way that the country is depicted.
He said: “It
is a love letter to Scotland. It really conjures up the feel of the country –
the wind is blowing, the sea is flowing and everything is covered in ferns or
moss and always in motion. It is a very textured landscape and you see this in
the movie. Everything looks so real and vibrant.
“They have
managed to capture the lush texture and the rough, primal nature of the
Scottish landscapes in a beautiful way.”
The preview
ended in a spectacular dinner on Friday at five-star Prestonfield House, in
Edinburgh, where Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis performed two songs from the Brave
soundtrack.
Here, the
film’s stars reveal the impact that the world of Walt had on their childhood.
