MacDonald: 'Scary' being in Brave
Kelly Macdonald admitted that she feels the pressure of being the first lady of Pixar never succeed.
Countries Not For Old Men star leads a cast in Scotland the Brave, which is scheduled for release next summer.
But she found it took a while to realize the character she voices, Princess Merida, is the first studio female protagonist.
"I kind of did not realize until recently that I was the first woman - as a way after I started my voice recordings and everything," she laughed. "I am delighted, but it is quite scary."
Fellow Scot Kevin McKidd, who voices the role of Lord MacGuffin in the animation, said he was happy to be flying the flag for all things Scottish.
He said: "I'm proud of being Scottish and to be involved in a film that's going to shout from the rooftops that Scotland is an awesome place and has brilliant stories and cool characters... it does mean a lot actually.
"To be in a Pixar film anyway, is amazing."
Boardwalk Empire star Kelly, who appeared at Disney's D23 Expo to give fans a sneak peak of the movie, chimed in: "To be in a Pixar film and to get to play in your own accent and with all these fellow Scots as well."
Robbie Coltrane, Billy Connolly and comedian Craig Ferguson also star in the movie, which tells the story of a princess who defies her parents to follow her interest in archery.
