The series revolves around the Mixels, small creatures that can mix and combine with one another in creative and unpredictable storylines. Although previous Lego series, such as Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu and Legends of Chima use CGI animation, Mixels made use of Toon Boom Harmony software, which is animated at Atomic Cartoons, Inc., before later being animated traditionally at Digital eMation, Inc., Big Star Entertainment, Inc., and Saerom Animation, Inc.

Why It Mixes Up A Notch

 * 1) Good and Energetic animation.
 * 2) Awesome character designs that greatly represent which Tribe they are in.
 * 3) Funny and Likeable characters like Flain, Seismo, Gobba, Kraw, Footi, Magnifo, Nurp-Naut, Globert, Krog, Vaka-Waka and more mixel characters or even villains.
 * 4) Awesome voice acting, especially from Tom Kenny (The titular character of SpongeBob SquarePants), Fred Tatasciore (Cannonbolt from Ben 10.), Phil LaMarr (Wilt from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.), Billy West (Stimpy from The Ren & Stimpy Show.), Carlos Alazraqui (Lazlo from Camp Lazlo.), Bumper Robinson (Bumblebee from Transformers Animated.) and the list goes on.
 * 5) Decent story-writing.
 * 6) Great and unique art style complete with highlights and shading on the character designs.
 * 7) The mixes and maxes are really cool and creative.
 * 8) The Murps were hilarious.
 * 9) It had good specials, such as Epic Comedy Adventure, Murp Romp, Mixel Moon Madness and The Quest For The Lost Mixamajig.
 * 10) LEGO supplied great toys for the series where you can Combine your LEGO sets and post them on the now closed Mixels Gallery. These toys even won the Pocket Money award at the London Toy Fair Best New Toy Awards what probably says something!

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The hand drawn animation in 2015 and 2016 was terrible with a lot of errors.
 * 2) Unfortunately, this show went downhill in 2016, resulting in its cancellation due to its lack of popularity.
 * 3) It's difficult to tell how likable the characters are, because various episodes keep switching the main protagonist. Even then, many of the episodes lack ways of continuity, resulting in a lack of character development and some characters seem to have no personality at all.
 * 4) *There are some unlikeable characters such as Mixadel and most of Camillot Classmates.
 * 5) Every Knight Has Its Day and Nixel, Nixel, Go Away (which ended the series on a sour note) while average, are the weakest episodes of the show.
 * 6) "Mixel Moon Madness" while decent has a terrible ending for mixels. Infernites wished to come back home but accidentally found out that it was all dream. When glowkies and orbitons heard that they "doesn't exist" they all began to cry. That made us feel bad for them.

Reception
Despite having a mixed to negative reception and holding a 3.4/10, it was beloved by many viewers, critics and earned a fanbase.

Trivia

 * This show had website "Mixels.com" and arrived on the LEGO.com as LEGO series.
