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....

By: Andrew Bermudez (LEGO Studios; September 15, 2013)      After months of challenges, bookended by a series of unfortunate complications, including the removal of video responses for YouTube videos, the high-concept game show contest The Film School Challenge has now come to an end. 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. Congratulations to Marcus Hutchinson and well done to all of our participants!      However, the removal of YouTube video responses will change the dynamics for our next contest: Minifigure Character Creation Sweepstakes. "Originally, we were going to have a YouTube contest video, which all of the participants would respond to with...

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 ani...

By: Andrew Bermudez (LEGO Studios; September 1, 2013)      As our "Summer of Surprises" comes to a close (as does The Film School Challenge ), it is time to reveal the ultimate set of surprises: all of the additional contests and promotions during next year's promotion, "Ten Years of Going Crazy!" While there are many films we're making that we're sure you're all excited about, there is a lot more that is going to be going on as part of this special promotion. To see the details of what this will be, read on. Minifigure Character Creation Sweepstakes: Between an undisclosed date early in 2014 and the end of the same year, the Mustache Maniacs Film Co. fan base will be challenged to create their own minifigure character, with 25 to 50 finalists having their characters appear in a future Mustache Maniacs Film Co. movie! Better yet, the grand prize winner will receive a speaking part for the character they created! Contest rules and other specifi...

By: Andrew Bermudez (LEGO Studios; August 27, 2013)      With summer winding down, we are certain that many of our readers are heading back to school. But before the semester wears on too long, we would like to give you all an end-of-summer update! Let's get started!      In the race to get filming for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients done on time, all of the filming in Australia has now wrapped up! "We are glad to have this important part of the film shot," said director Steven Lawrence. "While it is a short portion, it does contain some of the most important plot points in the film." The cast and crew has now relocated to Romania, where the next few sequences will be filmed. Once again, we are not allowed to share photos of the set.      In other news, another film closer to its release time, A Bite of MyJobs, is now receiving enhancements in its animation to get it ready for its October 18th release d...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; August 15, 2013)      In another step to prepare for next year's major event, "Ten Years of Going Crazy!," the name that we have used on our channel, historylegoman, was officially removed today. "The name historylegoman does not relate in any real way to our films and our brand," said Mustache Maniacs Film Co. CEO Andrew Bermudez. "We have also been taking measures to unify our brand. Our website, Facebook page, Press Room, and more all have the appropriate labeling, but the label of historylegoman was very detached from the rest of our network." On YouTube, the new name for our channel is Mustache Maniacs Film Co., the name used in the rest of our network (excluding the Vacation: Unlimited Travel Journal). However, if you have any links using the old name, do not worry; they will still work. Along with this name change for the channel, the channel also received its own Googl...
