(Lego Studios; May 30, 2011)

     This Friday, June 3rd, will be the biggest release day in Mustache Maniacs Film Co. history. Two new animated films will be released, which will get Lego Studios' traditional animation department into full swing. These two films are An Afternoon at the Zoo and Space Attack. Sadly, due to issues over release, the previously-announced Yellowstone: The Firestorm of 1988 will not be released. Regardless, while you wait, here is a first look at some of the amazing artwork that will appear in the film.

     "I am being perfectly honest that we are nowhere near done with this film," said Steve Brocko, head of the traditional animation department. "If we are going to get this film ready for its June 2nd premiere, we're going to need either nothing short of a miracle or a lot of coffee for our editors." If that miracle or coffee plays itself out, the film will be released June 3rd along with Space Attack, which you will be given a sneak preview at on Wednesday, after its world premiere.
