Get Ready for "Twenty Years Young" with our Entire Anniversary Line-Up!

By: Andrew Bermudez

(Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; April 18, 2023)

    Happy 19th birthday to us! In usual fashion, we have a news-filled press release to celebrate. However, this news deals with our anniversary celebration next year, Twenty Years Young! While we've already announced most of next year's content back in 2021, we now have a more detailed line-up of what to expect for our twentieth anniversary in 2024, including our new logo (pictured above) and a brand-new celebration trailer (WATCH IT BY CLICKING HERE)!

    With this anniversary, we're embracing the theme of Looking Back and Looking Ahead, and every project for this anniversary exemplifies this theme, each in their own way! From restoring previously-lost adventures to expanding existing characters with new stories, here is everything that we have planned for Twenty Years Young!

All-New 20 Years' ReCollections Product Designs will Debut Beginning January 1, 2024!


To kick off the celebration, we're launching new products on our store every month throughout 2024! Unlike previous years, where all of our new merchandise has been tied to recent or new releases, this series, affectionately titled 20 Years' ReCollections, will focus on our past projects. The planned designs are:

  • January: Mustache Maniacs Film Co. - Twenty Years Young
  • February: When Barrels Fly - See? I'm an Engineer!
  • March: The Easter Egg - Be an Easter Flamingo
  • April: New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable - Dodos in Danger
  • May: Cornerstone Thespian Society - Vintage Alumni
  • June: An Afternoon at the Zoo - Chimps at the Budget Zoo
  • July: Solarum - Solarum Industries Corporate Logo
  • August: Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen - Koo Koo Macaw
  • September: Night Guard - I Do My Own Stunts
  • October: Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear - I Visited the Haunted Outhouse
  • November: Gone Ice Fishin' - Chillin' with My Buds
  • December: A Very Patrick Christmas - Metamucil Wafers for Christmas
Bear in mind that this list does not include designs based upon releases in 2024. Those designs will be determined on a rolling basis and will be announced periodically throughout next year.

Wiki Mondays Will Return for a Limited Time on January 1, 2024!


    Since 2014, we've run a series of sorts on our wiki titled Wiki Mondays, our way of boosting the number of articles and updating existing ones. Since Ten Years of Going Crazy!, the series has come and gone over time, mainly coming back for limited runs to fill stagnant periods or, in the case of its last return in 2020, to entertain audiences during the pandemic lockdown.

    However, we are pleased to announce that, starting on January 1, 2024, the first Monday of the year, Wiki Mondays will return for a year-long limited run! Overseen by our wiki curator PeabodySam, this limited-time return will see the addition of 53 wiki articles throughout the year (one per Monday), as well as a full enhancement of the wiki's video and image libraries. Also as part of this return, an all-new special project, Visualizing the Unrealized, will be rebooted with one painting per month to create canonical depictions of locations, characters, and more from the cinematic universe! These paintings will be added on the last Monday of each month, with additional paintings possibly being added on a rolling basis.

    In addition to all of this, we're going to open up our development process even further by adding production documents and more to our wiki during this time! Many of these documents have never been seen by the public before, making this event one that will put the spotlight on our wiki! We're looking at releasing the documents on a rolling basis, but to give a run-down, here's the types of documents that you can expect to see:

  • Shooting Scripts
  • Development Scripts
  • Outlines
  • Cornerstone Thespian Society Performance Programs
  • Previous Story Bibles and Style Guides
  • Storyboards
  • Old Drafts of Short Stories
  • Cast Sheets
  • Calendars
  • Preliminary Notes
  • Story Treatments
  • Feedback Logs
  • Character Profiles
  • Show Information Guides
  • Ideas Sheets
  • Story Pitches
  • Research Documents
  • Shot Lists
  • Task Sheets
  • Budgets
  • Collateral
Bear in mind, however, that this does NOT mean that we're going to release everything. The documents that we plan on keeping behind closed doors are:
  • Any Documents Related to Active Projects or any Project Labeled "Confidential"
  • Personal and/or Official Correspondence
  • Passwords, Encryption Keys, or Other Sensitive Login Information
  • Scripts Owned by Pioneer Drama Service, Inc.
  • The Current Story Bible and Style Guide
  • Non-Disclosure Agreements
  • Any Other Documents that have Not Been Authorized for Release
Links to these documents will be released on the wiki throughout the year on a rolling basis, with Google Drive acting as the host site (since Fandom does not allow document uploads).

Count Down to the Start of Production for Legends of the Universe With New Concept Art!


    In case you haven't heard yet, our massive crossover film based on LEGO Universe is officially set to begin production just after Christmas 2024, which essentially means that you'll soon be seeing a lot of filming updates for this ambitious project! But since we just mentioned that the theme for Twenty Years Young is "Looking Back and Looking Ahead," we're going to build up to the start of the production phase for Legends of the Universe with a staggered reveal for new concept art, sketches, and graphic designs for the film! Our current release schedule is one major painting a month (similar to the above concept painting for Nexus City), with smaller pieces of art (like sketches and explorations) being released on a rolling basis. This collection of artwork will cover everything from locations and characters to scenes, vehicles, props, and more! However, we are going to withhold any artwork that  may somewhat or completely cross into spoiler territory, as that counts as "sensitive information" (as mentioned above with our documents). The first painting will debut early in January 2024 on the official wiki and on Andrew Bermudez Art.

Agent: Thorgood is Anticipating a Release on January 7, 2024!

    Being rebooted from the never-released film Mission: Klaus, Agent: Thorgood will not only conclude our mission of using THAC competitions to revive our unreleased stories, it will also finish the plot arc from The Pen that will prepare audiences for B.I.O. Corps in 2029! The details for this film, pending THAC 2024's theme announcement, are vague, but we can assure you that this conclusion of the Clone saga is one worthy of our anniversary celebration!

Nostalgic Behind the Scenes Content Will Be Released Throughout 2024 Starting in January!

    Have you noticed that we haven't been posting a lot of behind the scenes content recently? We have as well, and in a recent review of our assets, we have discovered that there are plenty of topics to cover that don't yet have their own videos! With that said, starting in January of 2024 and concluding in December of the same year, we're going to fill in all of our back-logged behind the scenes material! Here's everything that you can expect for each respective film, including our latest releases, which will be released to commemorate each film's to-the-day release anniversary (please be advised that any asterisked entry will not be uploaded to YouTube and is only being mentioned here for purposes related to the official wiki).

Legacy Stories Will Return on Our Website and Wiki Starting February 8, 2024!

    In a weird twist of events, we're going all in to re-release our missing films online for this anniversary! While it is true that many of these films were pulled from the internet for the perception of their poor quality holding them back, we are reintroducing them in a carefully-calculated way, which follows as thus:

  1. The films will be released publicly on YouTube, but in a limited capacity, instead focusing on other avenues of distribution. The website will have full access to these films, while the universe timeline playlist will also have these titles available (canonically providing, of course).
  2. The films and other content will be categorized separately in order to emphasize that these are being re-released as historical tributes. We do NOT view these as great quality works, and don't want to paint such a picture. Because of this, these re-releases will get their own section of the website.
  3. The games, however, will get their own section of the website, which will simply be titled "Games." This will also mark the first time that Mustache Maniacs-opoly and has been released online!
With each product's re-release coinciding with each product's official anniversary, here is everything being re-released for Twenty Years Young in 2024! If available, these re-releases will include supplementary content, such as behind the scenes videos.

The story follows a group of characters as they navigate their way through the city, encountering love, betrayal, and danger at every turn.

Atlanta Nights is a captivating film that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. This spoiler-free summary is designed to give you a taste of the film without giving away any of the surprises along the way.

Papa Dodo's Ecosystem Observance will Celebrate Earth Month with New Friends Characters from April 2 through April 30, 2024!

    What? It's not even Earth Day 2023 and we're already diving into next year's celebration? We wanted to jump into Earth Month 2024 with everyone's favorite dodos, who will host some all-new content that will help spread awareness about the environment and how you can help. Alongside this, we're also going to celebrate the film in question with some additional content, including the following.

  • A $100 donation to Evergreen Collaborative, an organization advocating for positive environmental and climate policy in the US.
  • A reunion special with director Raul Flores, which will cover the film's history and impact.
  • A look at never-before-seen artwork from the film's development.
  • A peek at the works that CarTOON Shack has produced since they went separate ways from Mustache Maniacs Film Co.

    We're also hoping to finally gather and assemble the long-missing production photos into a pipe dream of ours, an official production gallery! Whether or not this will come to pass is up in the air, but if it does happen, that will be released on June 7, the anniversary of the release of New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable!

The Legacy of Twenty Years Young is Anticipating a Release on April 18, 2024!

    As always, we have plans for a massive tribute on our actual 20th anniversary, but since we don't want a repeat of our tenth and fifteenth anniversary tributes, we're going a different route and creating a recap of not so much our history, but rather a recap of the cinematic universe so far. It will touch on nearly every canonical film, story, and more from 2004 through 2023, meaning that anyone who needs a recap of what has happened up until now just needs to watch this one video, which ends right at the appropriate spot to pick up with our 2024 releases!

Bermudez Memories is Concluding its Releases on April 18, 2024!

    While we have no plans to release these films online, we do have a wide collection of past home videos that need preservation and enhancement, and with the success of Old Home Movies 2: The Later Years and the massive release gap from the first three films in this series, we are going to use this date as our deadline for completing all of these hour-long videos. We've already restarted this series internally, but we are only mentioning it here for purposes related to our official wiki.

Two New Celebration Music Albums are Releasing on April 18, 2024!

    If you thought that that's all that we have planned for the day-of anniversary, think again! We have two music albums, tiled Twenty Years Young: Songs for the Anniversary and Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Greatest Hits respectively, that will also be released that day! The first album will include a collection of original songs written specifically for Twenty Years Young, including the original song written for The Fourth Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards! These songs will pull inspiration from our past films, the memories of our fans and cast alike, and so much more! The second album contains re-releases of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.'s most popular and iconic musical scores, collected together for the first time ever! In addition, this album starts with a medley track that combines our brand-new studio fanfare with our greatest soundtracks!

The Bartender's Tale is Coming Back to Life on May 3, 2024!

    With this celebration also commemorating our recent history, we're going to revive a film that we didn't think we ever would: the failed THAC XVI entry The Bartender's Tale is going to be completed and released to honor the 4th anniversary of Pharaoh's Quest: The Curse of Amset-Ra! This short's entire plot is already recognized as canonical in our cinematic universe, so we decided that it was time to make this never-told tale widely accessible! Unlike most of the new films being released as part of this celebration, most of the film's assets are being recycled from the original production of this film, which includes the use of shots that were later recycled into Pharaoh's Quest: The Curse of Amset-Ra.

Johnny Thunder and the Rise to Fame is Anticipating a Release on May 24, 2024!


    Have you wondered how Johnny Thunder became who he is in the cinematic universe today? This film covers his first adventure and the legendary treasure that launched him into stardom! But that's not all, because this film also reveals how he met Pippin, Dr. Kilroy, Harry, and the rest, as well as the root cause of his deep-set rivalry with Lord Sam Sinister. Taking place in Russia on the path to Czarist treasure and based on the classic LEGO Adventurers Minifig Handbook, this is one origin story that you won't want to miss!

Mustache Maniacs Film Co.: The Visual Dictionary - Third Edition is Anticipating a Release on June 1, 2024!

The content has been updated for all of our latest releases, with gorgeous photography and facts aplenty! From On The Theme Park Loop, Ninjago: Visions of Memories, and The Pen to Patrick: The Movie, A Future in the Past, and Johnny Thunder and the Rise to Fame, everything has been updated for the modern day!

Tales Across the World: A Story Collection is Anticipating a Release on July 3, 2024!

    While we've used our story team to write stories to fit existing parameters, this free-to-read book is going to be the first time ever that we're letting our story team run free and write all-new stories with new and returning characters! It will be a series of eighteen short stories, with all of them being canonical for the cinematic universe, but this book will have a level of variety that is unmatched in our library, with extremely high standards for authenticity for each and every story! If you're curious to see what this book will contain, here are the stories with their respective authors.

  • An Evening with Immanuel Twarra: A good friend of Johnny Thunder’s and an accomplished archaeologist in the African country of Eswatini, Immanuel Twarra shares his story in this World Magazine-exclusive interview. This story was written by an unconfirmed author.

This story was written by Teresa Bermudez.
  • On the Theory of Cosmic Kinesis at it Relates to Negative Curvature: Rather than being a straight-up short story, this is the entirety of the Theory of Cosmic Kinesis research paper by Dr. Bradford Rant, including the introduction by MUI advocate Kennard de Fleur-Rimny. This paper is, surprisingly, fully researched and includes actual scientific theories and data surrounding the theoretical multiverse. This story was written by Andrew Bermudez.

Allies turn into foes as the last leg of this crew's journey turns out to be the most dangerous! This story was written by Andrew Bermudez.
  • The Last Voyage: Written as a poem, Roger Goodman details his last voyage to Easter Island, why he’s interested in the myths of The Hidden Mysteries, why his crew mutinied, and how he’s going to die there. Ironically, he speculates that the curse of his ring may be real, indeed. This story was written by an unconfirmed author.
  • A Silent Voice: Two years after defeating the Masked Murderer, Rebecca Fernsworth is about to head off to college with her boyfriend, Brandon Meyers.

Alpha Team remains on high alert and hunts the globe for three more years, but no signs of Ogel turn up. It turns out that Ogel has been using this time to not only concoct another scheme, but also to implement it to conquer the world with the most unorthodox methods possible! Will Alpha Team be able to figure out what Ogel’s scheme exactly is in this seemingly-normal world before his domination is complete? This story was written by an unconfirmed author. (This story canonically takes place in Dimension 61770.)
  • Target: Chang Wu: What if…Chang Wu won and killed Jing Lee inside of the Dragon Fortress? Using his new powers, Chang Wu kills off all of the Adventurers, Lord Sinister and his henchmen, and the Chinese army.

(This story canonically takes place in Dimension 8231, the Antiverse.)

Basking in Fields of Green is Anticipating a Release on July 14, 2024!

    Our first-ever romance will ring in the summer's BRAWL 2024 competition in a way like no other! This film is a reboot of the never-released film Love and Kisses, thus marking the end of our quest to use contests to revive older concepts that were never realized! We want to use this film to explore romance in the modern world (pending BRAWL 2024's theme announcement), as well as introduce brand-new characters for the cinematic universe!

Cooking With Flex: Recipes from Around Mustache Maniacs Film Co.'s Cinematic Universe is Anticipating a Release on August 1, 2024!

    Hungry for more? This cookbook will make a cook out of any Mustache Maniacs Film Co. fan! This free-to-read book will allow you to cook over 30 recipes that canonically exist in the cinematic universe (sorry, no Pippin's Jungle Juice Blend in here) and eat the treats that until now you've only seen on the screen! From Fang Fruit Salad (from Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear) and Homefront Doughnuts (from Kilroy Was Here!) all the way to Cabana Complimentary Dinner Rolls (from The Employee of the Month) and even the infamous Christmas Delights (from A Very Patrick Christmas), every appetite will have something to eat in here! So why is the book titled Cooking With Flex? Because the book is written as if it was written in-universe by Alpha Team ropes expert and team chef Flex in order to explain why so many different recipes exist in one book!

Alms Pouch: Finished At Last! is Anticipating a Release on August 16, 2024!

    This project has been in limbo for far too long, so to commemorate this film and some of our films from our later years (2011-2016), we're finally, completely, after too long, AT LAST!, going to finish this film! It will be similar to the original version, but like what was announced before, we plan on remaking some of the animation that is not up to our current standards. The story will remain the same, but this upgrading and enhancement is one that will find you elated! It certainly will for us! Reanimating will begin later this year, with updates appearing here and there throughout next spring.

Greed and Grit is Anticipating a Release on September 14, 2024!

    For the past several years, one of our writers, John Hitchcock, has been hard at work writing a dark western film all about greed, the price we pay for our selfishness, and adapting to a changing world. That film, Greed and Grit, will finally mark is official debut on September 14 as our entry into Bricks In Motion's annual major competition. The film centers around a band of robbers, their internal rivalries, and a treasure hunt that tests their loyalty, as well as a vengeance-driven sheriff. We don't plan on beginning production until the contest begins (most likely in late July), but we are excited to finally explore the Wild West outside of the life of Ulysses S. Powell!

Van Helbrick and the Monster Fighters is Anticipating a Release on October 18, 2024!


    After years in the making, this new chapter for Project U is finally on the horizon! We're planning on using it to celebrate Halloween, but just so that everyone can get into the spooky mood earlier, we're aiming for a release in mid-October. This film is also aiming to be our flagship film for the entire celebration, being a project that will have the same role that Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients had for Ten Years of Going Crazy! back in 2014! This film will also do something that we've wanted to do since 2011's Forest of Fear: explore Arthur Van Helbrick's origin story.

The Holy Land Paragon is Anticipating a Release on November 30, 2024!


    After years of rewriting this tale of a Biblical adventure, we're finally ready to showcase this novel to the world! It follows up on the short story Gertrude and Lily from Tales Across the World and follows a group of college students, whose graduate dig turns into a race across the Holy Land to stop another disgruntled graduate student from bringing the region to its knees! Unlike most of the works here, this item will be available to purchase only, with the final price coming at a later date. We're using this book to not only expand the cinematic universe, but also to double down on our commitment to depicting characters from diverse backgrounds in a positive light! But there's one more thing that we have planned for this celebration!

The Archivist is Anticipating a Release on December 20, 2024!

    Just like how we ended Ten Years of Going Crazy! with the release of Where It All Began, which was the very first film we ever created, we have one more surprise up our sleeves that will be released just in time for Christmas tilted The Archivist! We aren't going to say too much about what this film will entail, but we will say that this film will be similar to its predecessor in that it will be intrinsically tied to our history, as well as feature Christmas to a certain capacity. However, unlike that past film, this film will feature lots of animation as a framing device instead of just releasing old footage.

Lead Out

    So as one anniversary arrives, we have simply primed you for next year, with plenty of wonders to look forward to! We'll see you all then, as well as with this year's releases!

The Year in Review: 2023

Image
  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!

Image
  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
