This episode of JSTMK was created in the largest gap in the whole series. Most episodes were made and released within a few weeks to a month apart, this episode however was made six months since The White War. The final project kept getting pushed back and delayed to a timeline error. When making this cartoon, I learned that limit of a cartoon's length (in Macromedia Flash 8) is 16 minutes. This cartoon was about 16:20 seconds when finished, which made it my longest cartoon to date. Several clips and frames were cut short and removed in order to get it under 16 minutes. Pipeline Labyrinth is also the first JSTMK cartoon to use the new Brunk Co. Films test pattern opening, as opposed to the classic film screen logo. It's also the first episode to have an interactive menu for skipping scenes.
