In case you missed it, BRAWL 2025 is in full swing and we're here to share some details about our own entry, which will take you across time and space! All of the details are below!
Eye of the Baron's Storm is Coming July 6!
For this year's BRAWL, the theme is "control," so we're going to explore a character that hasn't received a lot of attention yet but will soon! He's Baron Typhonus, and this film, titled Eye of the Baron's Storm, explores his entire origin story in just four minutes! Here's the official plot summary.
In the alternate universe of Dimension 525, a prideful madman named Baron Typhonus controls The Maelstrom, a sentient force of chaos and destruction! Discover how he became this way and witness his cunning and manipulative nature, but beware. Baron Typhonus has also discovered the multiverse and plans to infect every reality with his destructive gift of chaos!
Canonically, the film takes place in Dimension 525 in the year 2013, or 2024 in Dimension 418, the main timeline. This film occurs between the events of The Multiversal Manifesto and the upcoming film William's Bell Overture: The Symphony of the Realities. The film will debut on July 6, with Facebook previews coming later this week.
Why Did We Choose this Story to Tell?
Now, when it comes to the films that we typically produce, films like Eye of the Baron's Storm are not the usual types of films that we green light. However, with this competition marking our shift towards better quality, we wanted to push through a risky character study that could then focus on effects over having a long runtime. As for why we chose Baron Typhonus? Here's our reasons:
- It's been 15 years since LEGO Universe launched (and 13 since it closed), which means that we have audience members who have no idea who Baron Typhonus is. If these audience members are to be convinced that this character is going to be the greater-scope villain of Project U, they first need to know who he is, why he does what he does, and why he's a force to be reckoned with.
- On that same note, there's a whole new generation that was born after LEGO Universe closed. They need to know the plot set-up for that game in order to understand the entirety of Project U.
- Speaking of anniversaries, Dino Attack RPG is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year. While Dino Attack: Saga of a Conflict: The Motion Comic is being released tomorrow for the anniversary, Baron Typhonus also played an important role in the game. This film will help establish that, as well as finally feature Dino Attack RPG characters in stop-motion animation.
- The theme for BRAWL 2025 is "control," which fits like a glove into Baron Typhonus' backstory. While all of the other options were either too obvious (control robot), too political (control populace), or too benign (control game controller), this one allowed the theme to be explored from multiple angles. Without elaborating too much, control is a big part of who Baron Typhonus is and why his motivations are what they are.
Reminder: Dino Attack: Saga of a Conflict: The Motion Comic Debuts Tomorrow!
If you can't wait for Eye of the Baron's Storm however, we do have another film debuting tomorrow! This motion comic is a full-on reimagining of the Dino Attack: Saga of a Conflict comics, with Andrewnuva199, the creator of the character Andrew Anderson, voicing his own character for the first time ever! This film is also being released to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Dino Attack RPG, so be sure to check it out tomorrow for the live premiere! The premiere will be held at 8:45 PDT.
