[Wolvy]

I saw this in the listing that came with the new FMA dvd and I didn't hear of another movie and the lsiting states it as Part 1. Anyone know exactly what it is? Thanks /images/graemlins/happy.gif

From what I've have heard, it's a 12 episode series made by 4kids (like the Yu-Gi-Oh movie). I have no clue why they call it a movie though.

Here is what ANN has on the title from a news post in Feb.

Now this is just sepcualtion but if iw ere to guess, i would say that it sounds like they're taking the 12 eipsideos of the show and condensing them down into a 2 hour movie. This isn't the first time such as thing has been done.A lot of tv show pilots started out as two episodes but were crunched down into Tv movies. BUt to do such a thing for 12 episodes seems excessive, so i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
