Still not convinced that you want to watch Hugh Jackman training a robot to beat another robot into spare parts in Real Steel? This featurette may go a long way towards winning you over. It basically narrates the entire movie’s story, and shows both the brutality and the heart-warming cuteness of this robot film.

And you get to see just how they used motion-capture for the robot-boxing scenes, and how legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard choreographed the fights. You have to admit after watching this sucker that watching Hugh Jackman, Kate from Lost and Hugh’s long lost kid rescue a robot from the scrapyard and turn it into the come-from-behind, underbot champion is pretty sweet.

Real Steel comes out October 7.
