Chloe Bennet Interview Abominable and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Final Season
318Chloe Bennet Interview Abominable and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Final Season
Dreamworks' newest animated feature film Abominable opens this week. The film from writer/director Jill Culton centers on Yi, a young teenager processing the loss of her father, who takes it upon herself to return a runaway Yeti named Everest back to his family in the Himalayas. It's a hero's journey for a young woman who discovers a power she never knew she had, learns to confront her personal loss, and rediscovers the power of family. Yi is voiced by Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Chloe Bennett who does a fantastic job voicing her first lead character in a feature film. Yi is joined on this quest by her two friends, the enthusiastic, sports loving Peng (Albert Tsai) and the fussy Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor). This makeshift family must find a way to bring Everest home and avoid the villainous Burnish (Eddie Izzard) and the possibly villainous Dr. Zara (Sarah Paulson) in the process.
Before the film’s release, I sat down with Chloe Bennet to discuss what spoke to her most powerfully about the emotional journey of Yi. We also discuss what a unique character Yi is and what Bennet hopes she will represent to young people everywhere who are processing loss in their lives or experiencing their own journeys of self discovery. She also gives me a unique one word answer to describe the upcoming season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Read the questions that I asked Chloe down below and watch the video above to see her answers. Abominable also features the voices of Eddie Izzard, Sarah Paulson, James Hong, and Tsai Chin.
