lego ww1 The Battle of the Somme 

Hey guys! I need help deciding what theme my next animation will be. Here is a link to a poll to participate in the decision: www.strawpoll.me/13022172 I will not necessarily pick the most voted one but I will take it into account! Thanks! -LA20

This is just such a nostalgic brickfilm for me

1:27 I love how you included the valuables in the bucket thing, most people don’t usually have this

one of them legos is my great great granddad (Edit: it was my grandads grandad, i originally put great great great uncle. And he didnt survive for those asking in the comments, died a few months into the somme)

Nice done.

This is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. I tried doing a WW1 Brickfilm but it didn't work out. I decided to make a ww2 one. This makes me want to try again. I especially loved the contribution to those who lost there lives at the end.

Who'd ever believe lego figures could make you feel horrified? Well done. WWI was truly horrible and brutal. Actually it's pretty awesome. Something as innocent as Legos combined with something as bloody as the Battle of the Somme. Oh, and you surely know the battle ended with a British victory, but needless to say that came at a high price.

This is a really good Lego animation. With a little practice, almost anyone can make these little plastic guys look like they can really move, but you've stepped up at included all of the little stuff that really makes this a great story. Details like splashing water in that first shot, and dirt falling down on the soldiers' heads after an artillery explosion, and the guys hanging on to their helmets when the explosions occur. Really good stuff. Keep it up.

Coming back here after a few years. A true classic.

3:16 thought that rock was a grenade xD

All the horror, courage, and inhumanity in Lego form.

I would be the guy camping at the back with the bag pipes

After 9 years i can say that this is a true classic of my childhood

Wow never have really seen a ww1 stop motion so wow really really good

For the people who don't know: it's a copy of the trench scene in the movie called War Horse.

It took me 6 years to realise that the speech was from war horse 😂😂

I'm doing the final sound editing for Warsaw Uprising! Hang in there guys, it will be out soon! Hopefully within the next month!

Really well done on this, captures the bravery of the men and the ridiculous amount of lost life. Very very brave men. Thanks for making this it must have taken you ages! Great job.

That was awesome! Best stop motion I have seen in a long time!

This is absolutely brilliant! Only today I was trying to show my sons the statue of a Private from my home town who won the VC at Mont St. Quentin in 1918. I was wondering how to get them to take much interest in history, and you have just handed me a most valuable tool in showing them history in a way that will grab their attention, and teach at the same time. Thank-you for your awesome work!

Thank you so much for making this. When I studied WW1 I was so engaged. It is very close to my heart

Than's pretty nice! From time to time a little bit chopy but still it's cool!

The Battlefield 1 Lego mod looks great by the way, amazing gameplay dude!

A wonderful tribute. Thanks for making this.

Great animation of how the horrors of war was like, this will show you of how the trench charges were peformed, it is cruel and also frightening to think they had to go through this. may those soldiers rest in peace and all the other soldiers in the other wars.

Good work mate.

Awesome guys! 1,000,000 views! Thanks to all of you!

I watched withy my Kids that love ww1 and ww2 great memories and they do stopmotion cause of you .

Another wow from me and thank you this video was great !

Great job! And as I commented on a similar video of the Gallipoli campaign, also very respectful - thanks. My Great Uncle was killed during the second Battle of Somme, at Pozieres. He suffered shrapnel wounds (mortar shell most likely), made it to the field hospital, but died shortly after. He at least has a known grave, my other Great Uncle lies in Flanders Field, somewhere. Again good job on this.

Another milestone! 2 million views on this video and 9000 overall subscribers! Thanks so much everyone! Sit tight I'm working on a new animation, should be out sometime early summer.

im just gonna say how lucky we are to live like this and a big thanks to all that helped though out ww1 and ww2 but if i gave names id forget or leave out a few great video mate no matter what anyone says you done a great job

Great job man,I loved it!Earned another sub!

voices from the movie warhorse were used in this and the same with the bagpipes

Wow this is awesome the world needs more people like you

That was incredible. Great job legoanimation20!

I used to watch this all the time. I think this my 10th time watching this. Well done!

at 5:26 i thought it said, "the British had 00,000 causalities" me: Wtf?!?!?!

The Commonwealth Soldiers wearing the wide brimmed hats are Australians if anyone is wondering

Awesome work man! This is great!

very good man, you earned yourself a subscriber, keep up the good work!

I really hope legoanimation20 doesn't become like mrpearljack or jslegomaster! I don't want him to quit!!

Dang keep up the great work man it’s very good

I remember watching this movie and I would enjoy it a lot. Thanks for making this movie (War Horse) in to a mini LEGO movie!👍

3:24 he died smiling....

This is really well-made, you should do a vid about the front at the Yser.

i love this video dude really well done!

Great animation! Given me ideas for xmas presents

wow...just wow. In some ways seeing it done with Lego is more disturbing and moving than in any other medium.

Good call with the Bagpipes.

Thanks for all your amazing videos im new your great at doing animations thx👍

Incredible animation. You actually brought home how terrifying it must have been - with Lego.

Woo hoo! 4 million overall views! Thanks a bunch guys! ;)

I'm glad to see you didn't make the German soldiers completely evil.

The best Lego ww1 film out their. You inspired me to get into stop motion.

This is still amazing!, Awesome job

yeah well done, that is one of the best ww1 animations out there

Since when did British soldiers have a modern American teen's voice? Great vid btw

It’s still amazing after 6 years

These sounds and musics could be the "war horse" in that movie great work!

Thanks all for the awesome feedback!

Upload more!!!! know is hard to make a film like that

This you must realize is the best lego movie I've seen out of the hundreds I have seen well done son you've done a great job

This is really good dude

the background sound is from the movie War Horse?

Legos are not supposed to depress people.

This was very good keep up the good effort

awesome work on the details

Thanks for 6000 subs guys!

Awesome sauce but the Somme didn't have rocky terrain but favorite animation so far! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺I'm Australian 😂😂😅

Wow, you have improved a lot, great job!

Great video man!! I love making stop motion videos on stop motion studio pro but this video you made is more advanced and awesome!

the sound is from War Horse

Tell me, WHERE THE FUCK did you get these weapons?

Great Animation! Keep up the good work!

This is a very good depiction of Somme.great job. :)

All these men dead. Because of one man. (I know what you're thinking, not Krusty the Klown.) Sir Douglas Haig.

This legit feels made up. You could make an entire storyline about this.

that was awesome dude!

Great Video, It Is Also Pretty Emotional, Well Done!

german ww2 uniforms?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,erm ok

1:27 found the light saber 😂

this is one of my favorite stop motions because I know alot about it and it's so well made!TO THE SOMME!

Although I'm from a low income background, I went to a private school with a strong military tradition, as many of its former pupils served in the British military during the First and Second World Wars, and many were killed in action. There is a War Memorial in the centre of its Quad. One of the first homework assignments I remember doing for my English class was to write a poem about William Haldane Round, a British Army Captain who had attended my school and who was killed in a shell explosion at the Battle of the Somme.

Why do you always portray one side as the good guys? You guys did this for many battles. Think of the German's struggle and what they were fighting for? Makes these kids think there is only one good guy to everything. In fact, there are no such thing as good guys.

Once again, a Battle of the Somme with no Frenchman in sight. Given that they made up almost 45% of the allied force in the Somme and performed way better than the poorly and hastily trained British Tommies, this is kinda insulting, though not surprising. Similarly, the main fault of the Somme wasn't poor planning and inneffective artillery, but an overall lack of experience on the British side. While the Germans, French and Russians had been fighting for more than two years already, the British forces, be it the soldiers or the officers, had no idea about what was going to happen. A gigantic offensive such as this one was possibly the worst trial by fire one could imagine. The Somme is, in a way, similar to the august-september 14 battles fought by the Germans and French. Neither army was trained for modern warfare. That being said, my respect for all the men, no matter their nationalities, who fought in the Somme, Verdun, Tanneberg, and all the bloody battlefields of this terrible, sickening war.

Awesome Video! Keep it up :)

honestly better than some of the reenactments I've been watching. No 300 pound cavalry here!

You do realize how horribly inaccurate this video is right, the British lost some 30,000 soldiers on the first day of the battle, you should have depicted a blood bath, virtually no one made it past half way

Love your vids mate

Great work!!

Well done that was brilliant ;)

Great work ! ;)

The British didn't run towards the trenches, they just walked in straight lines thinking that there would be little resistance. But all and all great stop motion.

Really great job in the set design!

This does a good job on showing how bad the death was on both sides of the war.

Ah the classic lego video everyone watched as a child and understod nothing but still watched it now that my friends are a real classic

amazing video mate

Just brilliant 👏 the piper 👌 one of the best lego videos and very clever the way it's done if only real battles looked like this

Really good and realistic! You get my like!
