Set to premiere during the Western Game this weekend, they have new extended and short versions of their new ad.  I love these things.

Whoever thought "Victors" and "xylophone" was thinking outside of the box, but they nailed it.

If they get it up on their YouTube site, I'll see about embedding it. (or if one of our video experts can figure out how to get this video in, be my guest and show me up. Again).

Unfortunately, that may have been poached from an OSU commercial.  They have Carmen Ohio on a xylophone for one of their newish ads.

It was the kid with the robotic legs and the fistpump that got you, too, right? That was so ridiculous. I cried, and that was so ridiculous also. I guess there are times when a thing like the genuine, exuberant glee of a very-sick child forces the muezzin of my soul to call the drum under my sternum to beat outside my chest--not invulnerably.

And "cello."  Marimba and cello, mostly.  I hear a second and maybe a third string line, which is a violin, and maybe a viola.  It's nice music.  Nicely done.

I'm pretty sure it's a xylophone.  Marimbas sound a little more "earthy," IMO.  They're clearly using softer mallets than usual, probably wood with a thin yarn covering.

My niece spent the first couple months of her life at Mott's and I'll always be thankful for that place...these new "little victors" commercials are perfect!
