To get us in the mood for Zack Snyder’s fantasy actioner Sucker Punch, which hits cinemas on 1 April 2011, Warner Bros. has released a series of animated shorts that tie into the film.

The studio has also released an iPad app entitled Mech Gunner, set in the film’s reworked WW1 battlefield. For more info on the game, click here.
