“Halo Legends,” an all-new, CG and traditional anime PG-13 experience
that presents enthralling new stories from one of the world’s most
popular video game franchises, will be distributed February 16, 2010
by Warner Home Video as a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and
Blu-Ray™, as well as single disc DVD, On Demand and Digital Download.

“The Babysitter” focuses on the intense rivalry between the ODST
(Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) and the Spartans. When given an
assignment to assassinate a high-ranking Covenant Prophet, a four-man
team of ODSTs must accept a Spartan Sniper to their strike force. Each
discipline learns something important about the other as the mission
progresses into hostile territory – and old rivalries must be
reexamined if the mission is to succeed. The episode emphasizes the
differences in ability and style between the two soldier types, and
features a few familiar faces – Dutch from Halo 3: ODST and his
teammates Private O’Brien, Master Sergeant Cortez and Corporal
Checkman.

Produced by 343 Industries, a part of Microsoft Game Studios, “Halo
Legends” is a seven-story anthology – told across eight spectacular
episodes – that explores the origin and historical events of the Halo
universe and its intriguing characters. Halo Legends has been created
in the same breakthrough format as The Animatrix and Batman Gotham
Knight with each individual episode imagined by a cutting-edge,
renowned Japanese anime director/animator.
