I highly agree with this post. CN seems to see Mixels as a second-class citizen, and treats it that way, but I know it could be so much more.

I personally think Mixels could have the potential to be an 11-minute cartoon. If they can do a half-hour special, they can do 11-minute episodes. There are so many characters and possibilities in the world of Mixels, there are lots of great story ideas they could come up with, but CN just won't give this franchise a chance and instead relegates the talented crew's creativity to a 22-minute episode EVERY. SIX. MONTHS.

Now, I'm not saying a 22-minute special is bad. I personally thought Mixel Moon Madness was a huge step up from Season 1 (which was okay also) in terms of writing and animation, which the new staff probably had a part in, but also because it was longer, it allowed them to do more and create more jokes. It actually looked and felt like a professional cartoon. That's why I think the 11-min format would work, although I'd even be happy with just shorts and minisodes again at this point, just to get something new from Mixels.

I thought that maybe M3 would have lead this show in a new direction and maybe shut up some of the haters (lol), but the problem, again, is that CN doesn't give this franchise attention; barely any reruns, and we're waiting six months for only 22 minutes of content. I would have loved to see more of what M3 brought us, even in short-form, but CN is halting what could be the growth of this series. This doesn't need to be on the same level as Steven Universe... but if they just gave Mixels more attention and made people know it exists, I'm sure it would get noticed a lot more.

I just spent half an hour thinking of that... maybe I should send some of that to CN to tell them how I feel as a Mixels fan.
