Knowing ‘Snake Eyes’ Tickets are on Sale is Half the Battle

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is just around the corner, and advanced tickets are finally available to purchase! To spread the news, Paramount and Hasbro have teamed up with the team behind Robot Chicken to share this stop-motion version of the classic G.I. Joe PSA.

Not only are they animating my current favorite action figure line — that would be G.I. Joe: Classified, natch — they actually got the man behind the mask, Henry Golding, to voice his role and also take the piss out of some of the “fans” who’ve been complaining about this particular incarnation of the character.

Fortunately, this humorous ad may in fact turn some people around on the movie. As fellow NOC Will West tweeted:

In addition to the stop-motion ad, Paramount also released another behind the scenes look at the action in the movie and the grueling training the actors underwent to get into ninja shape.

Now you know Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is in theaters and IMAX on July 23! And knowing is half the battle. Yo Joe!
