That is the life of a parent of young children. That being said, I got an email this week to let me know about the upcoming release of WATCHMEN: Tales of the Black Freighter, an animated short film that tells the story within a story of The Black Freighter. The 2 disc set, which is dropping for DVD and BluRay, also features Under the Hood, a live action/CGI flim that tells a the story of Nite Owl’s first-hand account of how the hooded adventurers came into existence.

I’m not a big comic/graphic novel guy so I’m not all too familiar with the Watchmen, but I’ve got a copy of this movie on pre-order and I’m hoping it inspires me to check out the Watchmen movie.

For more information or to order a copy of Tales of the Black Freighter, you can check out Amazon’s product listing.

Full Disclosure: I’m helping promote this for one of the PR firms that I work with. I’m genuinely interested in this flick, but I don’t want anyone thinking my blog is on the take.
