As reported yesterday, Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins is a special Star Fox animation to celebrate the release of the new Star Fox Zero game. Running for over 14 minutes, the short film – which you can check out above – shows Star Fox and his crew fly in to stop Andross and his army from kidnapping General Pepper.

The animation is top-notch, so if you’re a Star Fox fan, or even an anime fan, the clip above is definitely worth checking out.
