The Wonderful World of Mixels

A Mixels documentary (titled by LEGO as Welcome to the World of MIXELS!) was a five-part behind-the-scenes video series produced by Tongal and released on the LEGO website in the leadup to season three.

It contains interviews with various people on both the LEGO and Cartoon Network sides of the partnership, and explores all aspects of the franchise; particularly the toys and cartoon.

 * Storyboards from the untitled Series 7 special appear.
 * In one shot of storyboards being played on a computer, there is a single sticky note that reads "2000 ONE OF THE STARS". It is possible that "One of the Stars" may be the title for the episode.
 * Miranda is seen drawing Paladum on a computer.
 * Designers are seen building the MCPD.
 * Files of the Series 7 Maxes appear on a computer.
 * Scenes from the Mixels Main Title of season one, Changing a Light Bulb, Another Nixel, Epic Comedy Adventure, Hamlogna Conveyor Belt Madness, Mixel Moon Madness and Calling All Mixels cutscenes are used.
 * A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig scenes also appear on screens in the background of some shots.
 * Chapter 3 was released on YouTube before being released on the LEGO website.
 * Judging by Miranda's Mixels calendar in the background having Hoogi as the month, this documentary was filmed in July 2015, showing that work on Series 7 and 8 was already taking place at this point.

Errors

 * According to Chapter 2, the original Mixels concept was called Hungry Monsters, even though prototypes simply called Monsters have been found online. It is possible that "Hungry Monsters" may have been incorrectly stated from memory, or that "Monsters" was an alternative name for the pitch.
 * Chapter 5 was accidentally released with Chapter 1's video. However, the file for Chapter 5 was still found in the website. This was fixed the following day.

Memorable Quotes
"It’s actually all about creativity, it’s all about these monsters that can basically explode together and recombine and remix into brand new characters. LEGO’s all about being creative, but this is such a correlated experience, it’s all about rebuilding, it’s all about kids creating their own stuff whilst they’re playing."

- Andy Seenan

"“Well, what do you do with them?” And they said “Oh, you know, you take them and you break them apart and you mix them into other characters.” And then one of the other execs said “Well, Mixels! We should call them Mixels!” And that’s where the idea started."
