New 'Brave' Trailer Adds More Poignancy, More Bear Scenes

Here's the latest trailer for Disney-Pixar's Brave, the animated film about a Scottish princess who does not want to get married but does want to shoot arrows and fight bears and have a ton of hair. This one keeps a lot of the tone and plot points of prior trailers, but adds a hint of witchcraft and a tacked-on, forcefully poignant message about family that makes the entire thing feel like a powerful, Scottish Folger's commercial. More disturbingly, this trailer also gives our ears Billy Connolly's attempt at a female voice, which sounds like the angry ghost of a drowning child. It's a good thing Connolly's comedy routines never depended on doing a ton of impressions of women, or we probably never would have let him be Head of the Class.
