The Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Press Room

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; December 27, 2011)      The studio's busiest year yet is about to come to a close. In fact, we released more films this year than we have in any other preceding year with 8 films, among other things. Let's take a look back and see what was done. January      The first month of the year kicked off with The First Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards . At the ceremony, Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo took home five of the eight awards that night. "It's so great to see that, three years after its release, the film is still recognized and highly revered by our fans," said director Steven Lawrence. A work-in-progress was also announced, called Making Tracks . Originally, it was supposed to be an entry into Tales of Yore, but because of a gridlock, the project was put on indefinite hold. The popular comic series, Tales of the Adventurers , also started the brand-new story, Tale of Pirate Gol...

There have been many other happenings at the studio recently, but due to the holiday season, this must be kept brief, as it is just about time for everyone at the studio to head home for the holidays. These happenings will be recounted in next week's "The Year in Review" press release.

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; December 9, 2011)      All is merry and bright this Holiday season, and today two brand new films, A Battle to Remember and Seeing Eye Robber , were released for your entertainment. You can check them both out on our re-imagined YouTube channel by clicking on the "Videos" tab. During their screenings over the past week, both films were well received by their audiences. "We are confident that they will be big hits now that both films have been released publicly," said Lego Studios CEO Mark Matthew.      However, Mark Matthew and head of the traditional animation department, Steve Brocko, had some bad news. " Gone Ice Fishin' has been delayed into next year," lamented Mark Matthew. Steve then noted, "We did have plans to release it today, but the light bulbs in our light desks burned out, and we're currently working to replace them." This left some reporters in shock. "You still use light des...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; December 2, 2011)      Today, we bring you another 'Ask Mark Matthew,' containing 100% new material! Let's get started! Movieguider73 writes : Will the army and Dan Brown be back for the third Johnny Thunder? Mark : They will be back for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients , but they will only have cameo roles. In other words, they will have short scenes in the movie that will allow the film to tie better to the first two films. However, their cameo scenes have been written so that their short appearances are vital to the script, rather than thrown in for extra flavor. They are, however, not the only characters making cameos. The other cameo-making characters are: Block Sauniere (In a flashback) Jerry Digalot Hiram Aziz Babloo Jing Lee There may be some other characters making cameos, but I won't reveal who those are, because it may, in a sense, spoil parts of the movie. Until then, be sure to keep upd...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; November 28, 2011)      While making an overview of the studio's films featured online, it came to the attention of the board of directors that on October 18th, 2011, SPM Physics made an honorable mention of Wonders of Buoyancy (to see the honorable mention, a link to their website, and other content on their YouTube blog, follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/social/blog/physics4spm ). In reaction to this development, Lego Studios CEO Mark Matthew stated, "We always strive for the best in storytelling, education, animation, and excitement in our films, and to see one of them used as a demonstration video for a physics class is easily one of our most monumental achievements since the FDNY e-mailed us a compliment for Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse Fire ." Scriptwriter Peter Samuel added, "This at least assures me that I got all of the facts right!"      Also, the results are in for Fes...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; November 12, 2011)      Today, we bring you another 'Ask Mark Matthew,' containing 100% new material! Let's get started! HollywoodLego writes : "Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile Part 7" has been taken down off your channel! Is there any way to get it back? Mark : When this was first alerted to us, we mistakenly let this issue go to the back burner, so to speak. However, after numerous complaints, we decided to take action. To answer your question, yes. We can and will bring it back later this month. However, the music that caused it to be removed in the first place will be taken out. In its place will be some generic Egyptian music. After this and other necessary alterations, part 7 will make its triumphant return! Stay tuned, Mustache Maniacs Film Co. fans! (Sorry. I got a little caught up in the moment there.) lowvillainRoblox writes : Dude, Johnny Thunder's pants are fully black. Not tan with pockets. ...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; November 11, 2011)      For Veteran's Day this year, more news has surfaced! This news in particular is for an all-new film, coming this Winter. Titled Seeing Eye Robber , this film (an animatic, actually) will recount the most embarrassing trip-up of Ralph Vagabond, the World's worst criminal. This status was mainly brought upon him because he has generally bad eyesight and his glasses don't match his eye's focal length! Find out what happens to this incompetent swindler when the film is released on December 9th, 2011.      Speaking of that date, the other films slated for release that date, A Battle to Remember and Gone Ice Fishin' are just about ready to go. A Battle to Remember is actually all done and Gone Ice Fishin' just needs some animation work. Then, both films will be released with Seeing Eye Robber on December 9th. Two days before, they will all be shown in a major media event th...
