The Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Press Room

By: Andrew Bermudez (LEGO Studios; September 26, 2013)      As September comes to a close and Halloween fast approaching, it's once again time to look at how current projects are shaping up.      With the release of our entry to Minilife TV's animation contest, titled Sam 'n Bob Brawl: The Second Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards Commercial ,  a new element has been introduced to our films that will become main-stay from now on: complete mouth animation! "Yes, we may have had mouth animation in some of our previous films, such as An Afternoon at the Zoo ," said Steve Brocko, head of Drawn to Life Animation, "But now, all of our films are required to feature mouth animation. It's just one more step being made to make 'Ten Years of Going Crazy!' work." An exception is being made to this rule for any re-releases.      Speaking of animation, the animated game Zoo Flight is starting to ride on rough ground. "The project i

We would like to congratulate Marcus Hutchinson for winning the grand prize: the part of the Sunglasses Tourist in Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients ! In addition, he will also receive a replica of the minifigure used in the film and a DVD copy of Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients after its release next year.

By: Andrew Bermudez (LEGO Studios; September 9, 2013)      This upcoming weekend is Friday the 13th, which means news about our Halloween projects! Let's get started!      To tie into our growing collection of villain pages on the Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Wiki, a new poll has started on this press room, asking which Mustache Maniacs Film Co. villain is your favorite. For the record, this list is restricted to villains, so any henchman characters, such as Patrick, Pogo, and Cal Pada Guard #18, don't count. The poll is open from now until Halloween night. If you want to vote in something else as well, remember that  voting  for The Second Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards  is still continuing until the same day. Vote today! If you need a reminder, a commercial will debut by the end of this month.      In other news, A Bite of MyJobs  is nearing completion, getting ready for its October 18th debut. The animation is almost done with its re-working, with new voic
