Netflix's The Liberator Gets an Epic Trailer for World War 2 Drama

Netflix has released the official trailer for its new animated World War II epic, called The Liberator, which premieres on the streamer on Veterans Day, November 11, 2020. Here's how Netflix describes the upcoming four-episode historical drama: "(The Liberator) tells the riveting true story of the bloodiest and most dramatic march to victory of the Second World War: the battlefield odyssey of maverick U.S. Army officer Felix Sparks and his infantry unit as they fought for over five hundred days to liberate Europe." IGN can exclusively reveal the new trailer in the video below or at the top of the page: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/22/netflixs-the-liberator-exclusive-official-trailer-2020"] The Liberator's unique animation is called "Enhanced Hybrid Animation," which is a new patent-pending technology that uses a combination of CGI and live-action performances. The series is based on the book “The Liberator: One World War II Soldier’s 500-Day Odyssey” by Alex Kershaw and created for television by Jeb Stuart (Die Hard, The Fugitive). IGN spoke to Stuart (via email) about why the use of animation was important for The Liberator's production. “Trioscope's hybrid animation allowed us to tell a massive W.W.2 drama on a scale we could only dream about in live-action," Stuart said, adding, "without sacrificing any of the story’s emotional nuances.” Be sure to check out all four parts of The Liberator when it premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, November 11, 2020.
