All-New Website and Video!

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; June 26, 2011)      Summer has kicked into full gear this past weekend, and with it come two new things. The first is a video titled Wonders of Buoyancy Behind the Scenes . Even though the film itself is old news, this new complimentary behind the scenes video gives insight to the filming of the movie, as well as a frightening, but pointless, deleted scene. "I remember when I first saw the scene that is featured in the new video," said producer Peter Simon. "The movie was moving along, then suddenly it literally screeched to a halt just for this one stupid joke. I hated that scene and ordered it removed, since I am the producer."      The other, and much bigger, thing that was released was the Mustache Maniacs Film Co. website.

The next one will be the last to appear here. After that, they will appear on the websit
