Awesome! I hope the making of is interesting, but I doubt they'll get into the complicated CG stuff (the cool stuff) since it's a children's network..

yay.. i get to see the making of an awesome looking 3D movie on a poopy fuzzy channel..

i mean seriously.. what channels aren't broadcasted in HD these days.. other than the local school district channel..

any word on how long it'll be? i'm hoping an hour.

i'm also hoping that this won't be part of the special features on the dvd. when the dark knight came out, they had two special features on it that were shows shown on the history channel. other than maggie gyllenhaal still being in the movie, that was my big complaint towards that dvd release.
