Animatics "Freddy and Joey in Corn Farm" and "Seeing Eye Robber" will be Animated in 2014!

     After the shocking news to revive Legoman, an equally-shocking new announcement was made today to commemorate Mustache Maniacs Film Co's ninth birthday: both the animatics Freddy and Joey in Corn Farm and Seeing Eye Robber will be released as fully-animated cartoons in 2014 as part of "Ten Years of Going Crazy!" "I had thrown the idea around for about a few months now," said Andrew Bermudez, who created the original two animatics. "They're well-drawn and their stories are clear, but by only having them as animatics, they lose something. I hope that, by animating these two short films, I can give them more respect." This also ties into the concept of reviving past Mustache Maniacs Film Co. films in 2014, including possible, but not yet confirmed, 3-D re-releases of the two Cornerstone Thespian Society plays Kilroy Was Here! and Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen.
     However, these two animations are only just a few of the releases for "Ten Years of Going Crazy!", which the highly-anticipated Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients will be a part of. "We have some other ideas," said LEGO Studios CEO Mark Matthew. "But we haven't really set anything in stone yet. One person suggested that we remake some of the lost films from 2002-2003, but would modern audiences want to see updated versions of old films like Speeder, Bank Heist, and Legoettes Take Manhattan? Then again, Universal announced this morning that they're remaking Weird Science, so why not?" By this summer, all of the promotion "Ten Years of Going Crazy!" should be set out. Both short animations are slated to be released fall 2014, among other releases.

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
