All-new Contest and Promotion Officially Start!

(Lego Studios; February 2, 2012)
     While the filming for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients continues and animating for Gone Ice Fishin' is on hold, Lego Studios responded to its recent poll by releasing an all-new contest and promotion titled "Vacation: Unlimited." This new promotion will last from now until the Spring of 2013 and will consist of multiple things. The main part of this promotion is the vacation contest, where participants are challenged to either build a diorama or make an animation. The full rules are on the contest page (http://mustachemaniacsfilmco.webs.com/vacationunlimited.htm). Also part of the promotion are a guessing game, vacation-themed animations, and an extensive travel journal of our excursions. Some of the entries to expect are:
  • A review of Transformers: The Ride, coming this May to Universal Studios Hollywood
  • A walk through of The Lair, an all-new, climate controlled, reptile house coming soon to the Los Angeles Zoo
  • Photo coverage of Manta, a roller coaster opening this Summer at Sea World San Diego
  • Trip reports from San Francisco, Orlando, and other destinations
  • A sneak preview of Cars Land, opening this June at Disney California Adventure
  • A travel itinerary to help you on your own trips
  • Hikes through scenic parks and forests
  • And much, much more!
     While the contest officially kicks off today, the travel journal and the guessing game both start on Sunday. "We are pleased to bring such an experience to our fans," said Lego Studios CEO Mark Matthew. "We plan to have our travel journal bring each of these places to life in such a way that it will be the next best thing to actually going there. We also want this to be an interactive experience for our fans, with the contest and guessing game. When this is all over in April 2013, we want to have finished a strong promotional campaign that will transcend websites." Despite the massiveness of this promotion, other studio activities will continue as normal, like creation of the Tales of the Adventurers comics, making the Zoo Flight game, and the filming of Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients. The promotion will not alter the other projects in any way, either.
     Finally, two things had to be delayed. First, the next "Ask Mark Matthew" had to be delayed further into February to collect and answer questions. But this means you now have more time to ask questions! Also, the release of Gone Ice Fishin' has been delayed indefinitely, with the only release date being a vague "coming in 2012."
     As for other releases, From the Vaults re-releases will continue from now until April 2014, new animations using CGI and more will come out this Spring, and Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients will be discovered Summer 2014.
     Update: We are pleased to announce that the next "Ask Mark Matthew" has NOT been delayed! It will be posted shortly.

The Year in Review: 2023

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; December 31, 2023)      As another year comes to a close, we're taking a look back over what happened this year. We were pretty quiet in the build-up to Twenty Years Young , but we did still have a substantial amount of content this past year. January     To kick off the new year,  Hunted: A (Not) Bigfoot Story  was released on January 8. This tale of a hillbilly with overgrown hair and the campers who think that he's bigfoot was created for THAC 2023. While the film did not win any prizes, it did become just one of many entries in the record-breaking competition that will have you stomping with laughter. We also began an audit of the studio archives as part of a final push to finish content for Twenty Years Young , as well as geared up to plow through the projects planned for this year. February     One of those projects,  Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear , officially debuted on February 1! This special project r

Original Classics as They Were are Returning with "Original Cuts," Coming April 18, 2024!

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 31, 2024)     Even in the midst of this celebration, we've just revealed some new ways to celebrate the day-of twentieth anniversary of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.! In addition to some new music albums and the release of artwork from our canceled projects, we're also introducing a new project titled Original Cuts ! What is the Special Project  Original Cuts ?      Long story short, Original Cuts  is a special project that aims to preserve classic Mustache Maniacs Film Co. movies as they were originally released. We realized during the backup of the physical archive last year that these DVDs are progressively getting worse for wear, and with 2015's DVD Archival Project only backing up the special editions of all of these films, these original versions were at risk of being lost forever. Something had to be done, which is where Original Cuts  comes into play.     As mentioned, outside of updating the branding
