British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have collaborated with Partizan Studio on the animated visuals for their upcoming documentary "Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition", as well as their global "Run For Your Lives" world tour.

The studio's work, directed by Pete Candeland and Rick Thiele of Red Knuckles, transforms five decades of IRON MAIDEN iconography into high-definition animated worlds, spanning moving matte paintings, traditional keyframe animation, and Unreal Engine sequences.

The visuals were developed over 14 months with a global team of more than 50 artists.

The collaboration continues with newly created animation by Partizan Studio for the feature-length documentary, directed by Malcolm Venville and produced by Dominic Freeman.

The film traces IRON MAIDEN's journey from the pubs of East London to the world's biggest stadiums, combining unprecedented access to the band's official archives with exclusive interviews, rare performance footage, and new animated sequences of their legendary mascot, Eddie.

"Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition" opens in cinemas worldwide on May 7.

Alongside the band, the documentary features on-camera reflections from prominent admirers, including Javier Bardem, METALLICA's Lars Ulrich, and PUBLIC ENEMY's Chuck D.

The film offers an intimate look at IRON MAIDEN's uncompromising vision and unwavering connection with their global army of fans.
