Adorable Dodo Birds Will Come Back to Life this Holiday Season!

(LEGO Studios; September 27, 2012)
     To ring in the fall season, this weekend is going to be filled with updates, news, and more! To start, a new film from the CarTOON Shack partnership has been confirmed! Titled New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable, this new animated tale takes audiences back in time 300 years. It is a time of discovery for humans and a time that the dodo bird is alive. This colony of dodo birds lives peacefully on their island until human settlers arrive. Having no natural enemies, the dodos welcome the newcomers as friends, not knowing that these friends are going to be the cause of their downfall.
     When one reporter asked about how this will end, LEGO Studios CEO Mark Matthew stated, "I won't reveal the ending, but let's just say that in a story about the fall of the dodo bird, the ending isn't going to be pretty." Of course, unhappy endings are nothing new to Mustache Maniacs Film Co.; just look at films like Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse Fire (the six firefighters die) or When Barrels Fly (Ulysses ends up in the Cretaceous Period).
     However, production has just started, so no screenshots will be up until a later time. The plan is to have the animation released December 15th or 21st, though. For the rest of this weekend, keep an eye out for other new updates, including filming updates and a first look at Late for the Soccer Match, along with a teaser for The Film School Challenge coming next week!
