The actual 4 episodes will air on tv starting February 05th. The Movie was compressed in order to be watched by millions of students who can come watch this movie free with their class.

It was very nice to have a reunion with the crew and watch this movie together. We are very proud of it.
The audience had a good time. 

Make sure you watch this when it airs. You will learn a lot!
