Updates for "On The Theme Park Loop" and Our New Shop!

(Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; April 27, 2021)

    With May just about upon us, we have some important updates that we need to share, so let's get started!

5/20/2021 UPDATE

    The releases of On The Theme Park Loop and the new website update, as well as the merchandise event, have been pushed off to May 28 for quality assurance. Due to on-going contractual agreements, this date will not be pushed back further.

On The Theme Park Loop is Now Debuting May 21, 2021!

    While we didn't want to put off this release any further than we already have, we have decided to push off the release of On The Theme Park Loop to May 21, 2021. While this may disappoint some of you, we want to let you know that we are doing this in the best interest of the show. With this change, we are also pushing back the date that this show will be petitioned to join the Theme Park Tube community to the same date. However, this does mean that the show's website WILL now debut with the show itself, thus eliminating some of the internal logistical concerns that we had about its release. But that's not all that we have planned for May 21.

Online Shop Soft Opens on May 21, 2021 with Music!

    Our first merchandise will also become available that day, and it's all related to music! For the first time ever, our fans can buy our very own original music for their listening pleasure! The soundtracks that will be available on day 1 are as follows:

  • Alpha Team: Mission Deep Jungle
  • A Bite of MyJobs
  • Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients
  • Late for the Soccer Match
  • Ninjago: Visions of Memories
  • Patrick: The Movie
  • Rift
  • The Employee of the Month
  • The Happiness Fund
  • Vacation: Unlimited

Additional soundtracks will be released on staggered intervals later this year, with the next wave of soundtracks coming with the opening of the full online store on July 1. Speaking of which...

Merchandise Event for Shop Moved to May 21, 2021!

    Because of this special day, we're moving the reveal of the online store's merchandise to the same day as everything else, giving fans the chance to see what designs will be available on TeePublic from July 1. It will be a limited event focusing on overall branding and some specific designs, but we can assure you that we definitely are going to have some appealing designs. Future designs will be added on a rolling basis.

Other Website Updates Coming May 21, 2021 and Beyond!

    But that's not all that we have planned for that date! We are also in the midst of a major update to the website, with some of our newest features coming online on May 21! In addition to what has already been announced, here is what you'll also find on the site that is new.

  • Films with soundtracks that are available for purchase will feature links to their soundtrack pages.
  • Members will be able to create their own fully-personal profile.
  • Members will be able to use their own accounts to buy and listen to music.
  • Select films that have soundtracks that were sourced (but are royalty-free) will include links to that film's soundtrack playlist. These will NOT be available to purchase (as they are not our property).

In addition to this, here are some of the other website updates that are also a work-in-progress, with the possibility that, technology permitting, some of these may also come online on May 21.

  • Members will be able to create a personal watchlist of content on the website that they want to experience at a later time. This extends to content that has not yet been released.
  • Members who do not wish to use their own face on their profile will have access to images of Mustache Maniacs Film Co. characters that they can use instead.
  • Links to the main Mustache Maniacs Film Co. website and Andrew Bermudez Art will be added to the On The Theme Park Loop website.
  • 'Stache Bot will come online as a chat bot for the main website, which can talk to potential customers.
  • Andrew Bermudez Art will be refocused on illustration, with an emphasis on story-telling design.
  • Every piece of content on the Mustache Maniacs Film Co. website will receive a switch that will allow members to add that page to their watchlist.
  • Upon its release, Venomosa: The Bounty of Billy will receive its own page, complete with the preceding changes.

All of these site changes are expected to be finished in time for the online store's debut on July 1.

All Other Release Dates Currently Unaffected!

    Just as before, the rest of our current release dates are still on track. We are using this year to put ourselves back on track in a post-Covid world, so our content push has never been more important than ever. We hope you're looking forward to everything that we have in store for this year!

Lead Out

    This spring is going to be busier than usual for us, but we want to put our focus where it matters, with an upcoming push to get the word out about our brand. We're done with our past "build it and they will come" strategy, so expect our content push to bring new advertising as well!
