Production Information

  • There was a slightly longer hiatus in-between Mixel Moon Madness and this episode than there was in-between Season 1 and Season 2, at 6 months and 17 days.
  • It was confirmed by season two character designer Miranda Dressler that this would be 22 minutes,[2] the same length as Mixel Moon Madness.
    • Also, according to Miranda Dressler, production of this episode was in progress by early June 2015.[3]
  • The episode was shipped overseas for animation in mid-September.[4] Starting from this episode on, the animation has a new, smoother style.
  • The episode was written and storyboarded by Michael Diederich and Skip Jones,[5] the latter of which is new to the crew.
  • On September 21, 2015, a 30-second clip of this episode was posted on Facebook,[6] in anticipation of its release.
    • On September 24th, a slightly shorter-length clip featuring the opening scene with King Nixel was posted on the LEGO Club website.[7]
  • The episode's title has been referred to as multiple different shortenings or alterations of it:
    • The Quest for the Lost Mixamajig[8] - Used on TV listings for the UK.
    • Quest for the Mixamajig[5] - An official production title for the episode.
    • Quest for Mixamajig[9] - The shortened title used in the LEGO Club Magazine's revelation of the special.
    • The Quest for the Mixamajig[10] - The title used in the UK commercial for the special.
  • This is the longest concurrent episode to be produced, beating out the "Tall Tales From Da Moon!" segment of Mixel Moon Madness at 9 minutes.

Broadcast Information

  • The episode will have encore presentations on September 30th and October 2nd.[1]
  • In Poland, this episode will be broadcasted followed by reruns of both Mixel Moon Madness and Mixed Up Special.[11]

International premieres

  • October 3, 2015 (UK & Ireland,[8] & South East Asia)
  • October 17, 2015 (Poland)[11]
  • October 24, 2015 (CEE countries,[12] RSEE countries[13])
  • Sometime in October 2015 (Netherlands,[14] likely most European feeds)

Trivia

  • The Klinkers, 2015 Frosticons, Lixers, Weldos, 2015 Glorp Corp and Munchos appeared, introducing the Series 5 and 6 characters into the show.[15]
    • This makes it the first time that two different series debuted in one episode.
  • The oracle's capsule it is contained in appears as a sprite in the files of Mixels Rush, hinting a connection.
  • This episode reuses the scene transitions first introduced in Mixed Up Special.
  • This episode introduces the concept of three-character Mixes (that aren't Maxes of the same tribe), as well as Mixes of more than three characters from any tribe.
  • A new location, Mixopolis, is introduced.
  • There is a Mix of all of the Mixels from Series 1 through 6, to battle against King Nixel. Thus, this reveals that Maxes can Mix.
  • The Orbitons and Glowkies from Mixel Moon visit Planet Mixel, just like in the last scene of Mixel Moon Madness.
  • This episode has yet another new opening sequence, with all of the Series 5 and 6 Mixels.
  • This episode reveals that the Mixels worship a "Maximum Mixel" like some sort of god.
  • The background used in the credits of the episode is a black-and-white version of the one used in Mixel Moon Madness's credits.
  • The events of the episode were the closest the Nixels ever got to tearing the Mixels apart.
  • This episode uses Major Nixel's design from Mixels Rush, consisting of an updated moustache and the addition of ears. His voice actor is also different again; Peter Jason replaces Fred Tatasciore in season one and Rodger Bumpass in Mixel Moon Madness.
  • This episode reveals that Seismo has a mouth behind his mouthpiece, as shown at the near end of the episode when Kramm introduces Mixopolis.
  • The episode could have taken place after Mixels Rush, due to the airship and the Maximum Mixel's capsule appearing in the game files, this is further supported by the fact that Major Nixel claimed they had gotten close to defeating the Mixels.

Continuity

  • This is the fourth time the fourth wall is broken. ("Rockball", "Elevator", "Mixel Moon Madness")
  • This episode is built off of the cliffhanger present at the end of Mixel Moon Madness.
  • This is the third special in the show. ("Mixed Up Special", "Mixel Moon Madness")
  • This is the third episode where a Rainbow Cubit appears. ("Mixed Up Special", "Mixel Moon Madness")
  • This is the seventh episode with a Max; however, it's the second with all Maxes from a series, and the first with every Max so far.

Errors

  • If you pause at the right moment during the intro, Forx has an extra foot for a brief second and while he chases Vaka-Waka, the cones in Waka's mouth are not completely inside while running.
  • When King Nixel is approaching the Nixels, his mouth does not move when he says "assortment".
  • When the Frosticons are looking down into the hole, Snoof's neck is blue, instead of grey. It returns to normal colors after shifting back from the egg-rock.
  • When Vaka-Waka asks Gurggle "Who are you?", Snax blinks, and before his eye fully opens, part of his eye turns purple for a brief second.
  • When Gurggle starts talking about who owns the capsule, Chilbo's body is missing.
  • Waka sometimes speaks with Vaka's voice.
  • Whenever "Klinker(s)" is spoken out loud, the closed captions misspell it as "Clinkers".
  • In the Mixel congregation scene, a few Maxes appear, even though some individual Mixels that are a part of these Maxes are also present.
  • Globert's jaw is brighter and his wings are black instead of navy blue.
  • The silhouettes of several Mixels are shown more than once.
  • When all the tribes Max against King Nixel, the 2015 Frosticons Max and Electroids Max does not appear.
  • When the Maxes are flying around the giant King Nixel, Shuff flies around on his own instead of the Cragsters Max. Same thing also happens with Zaptor instead of Electroids Max and Globert instead of Glowkies Max.
  • While captured inside King Nixel's trap, Burnard has an underbite.
  • Forxis seen with the kidnapped Mixels, even though he was meant to be with the Weldos at the time. The Spikels Max is also seen kidnapped even though Scorpi and Footi are individually seen.
  • When the 2015 Frosticons, Lixers, Klinkers, 2015 Glorp Corp and Munchos reached the portal and Jinky saw other Mixels there were two Globert.
  • When Jinky saw the other Mixels, Volectro's silhouette was seen holding the key meaning he was the chosen one but later Zaptor said he is the chosen one.

Allusions

  • The LEGO Movie- Whoever has the key is considered "the chosen one", just like how whoever has the Piece of Resistance is considered "The Special".
  • Pop Goes the Weasel- Jinky plays the nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel" on his bells.
