Disney/Pixar aired the first 30-second TV spot for Brave during the Oscars telecast last night. After floating around online in varying qualities, its now up in HD on YouTube (via FirstShowing.net). Watch—
Your ears have not deceived you. The music is in Scottish Gaelic. (Pixar Place found a video of the performer, Julie Fowlis.) This may be the most grown-up promo for a Pixar movie ever.

Mike, minor thing but whilst the music is Gaelic in a fairly nebulous "anywhere in Ireland, Wales or Scotland sense", the lyrics are Scots Gaelic.
As for the spot, should at least make people less than pleased about the style of trailer used so far a little happier. Certainly does for me and I don't mind Brave's trailers. Really getting the feel they're going for, "epic fantasy" sort of feeling over "princess based fantasy". Should be sweet all the same I reckon.
Best thirty seconds of my life! :) The animation is beautiful! I hope it doesn't disappoint anyone...
That was really good, but I think it would have been even better without the voiceover at the end.
Interesting change in tone from the other trailers... this one seems a lot more uh... gooey? Warm and fuzzy? No slapstick, no yelling and no butt jokes... just characters smiling at each other lovingly. It's interesting to see just how different a movie can look by what audience they decide to target.
The other's were aiming at all audiences, where as these are obviously for mummies and daddies.
Love the song.
Nice! I love everything I'm seeing so far. This could end up becoming my new favorite Pixar film.
Wow, beautiful music...I just can't say often enough how great Merida's voice is (not referring to the singer in the clip there, but she has a pretty voice, too).
I don't know - this one didn't really do much for me. The editing seemed kind of all over the place, and the V.O. at the end really didn't fit. Just the music would have been better.

Glad I'm not the only one who was underwhelmed. Everyone else seemed to love it on Youtube also. I agree, it was just all over the place. Oh well.
@Slinky Dog
I agree with you, though, that the song is great. And I too love Merida's voice, it suits her perfectly.
