The Super Bowl has become an American institution, with “the big game” drawing a whopping 97.5 million viewers last year. And while most of those folks watch for their home-team shot at victory and the excuse to stuff their faces full of “scoop” chips we all know that the real draw is in the clever commercials. And film studios are definitely taking advantage. This year, during Super Bowl XLIII, we're looking forward to the trailer for the monster/alien mash up Monsters vs. Aliens, presented in 3D of course.

On Saturday during the Colts vs. Chargers game on NBC, the Super Bowl channel aired previews for the 3D trailer, which will also correspond with a full 3D episode of TV’s Chuck on Super Bowl day!  According to the Associated Press, “Some 150 million 3D glasses will be given away for Super Bowl viewers to watch a 90-second 3D sneak preview of the big-screen animated feature Monsters vs. Aliens.”
