“The imagination is the limit”
Cries in not having enough pieces
this is so true im always sad when i dont have enough pieces
Soo trueeee 😭😭😭😭
I feel ya.
I always dive in a room full of lego and other toys i had in my childhood, it felt like hell whenever i needed to find a piece
I feel your pain.
Have you ever needed that one brick which you used in another creation which you kept. It felt so bad when I took apart an old set for a new one.
Olé’s wife: At least now it can’t get much worse.
Narrator: **BUT IT DID GET WORSE!**
Lol trueeeeeeeeeeeeee
"He lost his wife"
Moral: never say what she said, keep your thoughts to yourself.
idk if I should laugh or sad.

This guy had no idea the impact he would have on the world. BIONICLE is not just my favorite LEGO franchise, but one of my favorite fictional universes, and I likely wouldn't have it if not for Oleg, Gottfriend and all of their help. (And some thanks to my Polynesian heritage)
It’s very sad that Bionicle never did achieve its full potential; at least 2 more movies, more toy lines, but it was a great decade while it lasted. I loved the Bionicle movies and toys, I had this Pirake Vezok figure I loved
I like how the narrator goes from talking about Lego and its history like an outsider, then slowly hints about him being part of the Lego family get more frequent until he's like "My grandfather"
Wife: at least it can’t get worse

Yes i inherited my dad's lego when I was a kid he was alive and I played with it it developed my creativity
Brother?
"no one else could see the potential" as he inspects a plastic brick that he got from a convention made by someone else
Makes sense, nobody saw potential, only the LEGO family did, that's why they're worth billions of dollars today and not anyone else.
You're the last person I expected to find on a Lego video.

This video is 10 years old now. I saw it like a thousand times and i still think it's awesome. Happy 90th anniversary, and thanks for defining my childhood.
11 years later an im still watching this, i loved this as a kid and still love it. personally its better than some animations out there now, and im so glad ole started making toys made up so much of my childhood

Watched it when I was 9, rewatching it 6 years later and it still feels amazing!

What an amazing & inspiring story so beautifully told & illustrated. Made me think of my late father who was a master craftsman. He was a school teacher who taught woodworking & technical drawing amongst other subjects. His workshop was a shed at the bottom of the garden where he spent most evenings making furniture etc. When he retired he spent a lot of his time handcrafting wooden toys for children at a nearby hospital/home for disabled children. The last thing he did was set off on his bicycle to buy linseed oil to finish some toys he was working on. He collapsed & never came out of hospital. He was 81. I was his oldest daughter & he'd hoped for a son. My childhood toys were not dolls but meccano (erector sets) & other building sets with tiny bricks, mortar & trowels that u could build miniature houses with. I learned a lot from him. Later in life I was able to do carpentry, tiling, plumbing etc. Thanks for posting this lovely video.
What an inspiring backstory, I never thought that lego started like this.

Wow Lego was first created as a toy but now it has reached unimaginable heights. Legos can now be used to make prosthetic arms/legs, drivable car, Bridge that is almost half the height of statue of liberty and robotic engineers use legos for their own creations. Ole K. and his future generations are genius.

This was seriously one of the best little videos that I've ever seen! I had no idea of the story! My 2 sons (now 34 & 36) lived for Legos even up into their 20's! They still have most of them. This story brought tears and a smile that lasted throughout the entire video! I am so glad that I came across it. Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic story!❤🙏💫
What an amazing origin story of how the LEGO company started, it does remind me of my childhood when I watched this animation video and then started taking interest in Legos.

I never had Lego growing up nor did my brother. But seeing this heartwarming story of Lego makes me so happy that other kids had them and how perseverance pays off letting nothing stop you from accomplishing. Hard times, fire, how to improve on something. The history of this toy is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

One of the most amazing magical creations to ever exist… Made my childhood and life as a dad that much more magical…. Thank you Ole & family.❤️😊
this story makes me so sad. my brother would make stop motions with legos and he would work on them for hours just editing them and getting the legos to move just right. he was only ten or eleven, and he was so good at them. i remember i voiced one of the characters in his very first stop motion. but then he lost his phone this year, and i think all the videos he made are gone :( it breaks my heart. i hope someday he finds them
“I only coated the duck twice”
Famous last words before death
Haha
David’s Epic channel what was it
Godtfred found a way to make the Lego bricks stay together, but didn't find a way to NOT make them hurt when you step on them. Ah yes, quality indeed 👌
If it hurt that means the legos have more quality than your foot
@@flakybriskets3664 I'm... an amputee...
The thind thats worse than stepping on a lego brick is stepping on a lego figure

There are quite a few "Lego Stories" on UA-cam right now, but this is one of the really good ones. Well done!
Our children grew up with Lego I still have many of the original block sets we bought 40 years or more so Now my grandchildren are building with Lego helped by their dads who still love Lego The best toy ever !
Talk about being neglected, the movie totally forgot that Olle had another 3 sons somewhere.
Burnt.
Apparently Gottfried bought out his three brothers from the company after Ole died
the other suns didn’t want to work for the company and indtead went their own paths to now in 2020 make all their money from the buisness without doing a thing.
