Although a few of my ancestors fought in WWI against the Belgians (most were in the Eastern Front), I have nothing but respect for the brave defence of the Belgians defending their homeland against impossible odds.
The Belgians put up one hell of a fight, held the Germans off long enough to give France enough time to prepare. King Albert the 1st is one of my favorite kings of all time. (pretty low bar I know.) But still...
Having the Lego. Building it this way and with so many changes through the short film. Adding the sound design. The animation. The cut. Truly a work of art.
Amazing. The depth of field, cinematography, set, the little details... the soldier's arm being bent backwards after being shot (1:56) is such a small thing but adds a little touch of reality. And these just keep getting better...
A big thanks to Andrew and Daniel for putting together the sound design and music for this video, check out their websites here. andrewbrewerproductions.com danieldavismusic.com
Im glad lego animation is still a thing on youtube. I remember some of the first videos I ever saw on youtube when I was a young lad were lego animations on the family computer.
Fun fact! In real life, the gunner crew had to run an entire American football field away, put cotton in their ears, and even then they had to hold their mouth open, otherwise their ears would burst from the sheer explosive force.
Wel I am Belgian. And I have visited the site of fort de loncin. I have to say that this is a realy good tribute to those brave soldiers. Thank you. Lest we forget.
2:55 This is the Big Bertha forts killer cannon adopted by the German Empire in 1914, a total of 12 pieces were released. These forts killers fired at the fortress of Liege, Osovets and other fortresses in Europe surprisingly, the Osovets fortress Big Bertha could not destroy and the rest of the fortresses could.
Excellent, Just excellent. Loved the dramatic buildup of the 210mm shell detonating the forts magazine. Why don't we have movies like this in Hollywood?
@@Dishbsmeosisusujsjsjs Ah yes, Major Raimo. A quite high ranking officer he was. Well, basically he made terrible strategic fighting decisions and doomed thousands of soldiers.
Yeah, the Belgians had a very bad few days at Liege. Fort De Loncin (depicted in the film) did indeed receive a magazine hit during the battle, which resulted in an explosion that killed most of the soldiers inside. The fort is now a military cemetery and was never rebuilt.
Cant believe this was over 110 years ago and the germans had artillary that powerful! Also this video is incredible better than anything i have ever seen the small details the expolsions the stop motion and animations guns and alot more are so AMAZING! Thank you jd for making this work of art.
This was the Fort de Loncin, the only fort out of the twelve defending Liége that didn't surrender. The fighting for the fort lasted around nine days, during which it suffered constant bombardment for the 12th to the 15th. Like depicted in the recreation, the fort was eventually destroyed by the 42cm "Big Bertha" howitzer, which struck its magazine storage, detonating the 12 tons of explosives. Fort de Loncin served as a lesson in design, for the ammunition storage was built too close to the surface of the fort, making the ordinance vulnerable to artillery.
I would absolutely love to see more of your videos! although my suggestion will probably go unnoticed, i'll still put a few battles on my mind: Battle of Makóvka [1915] (would absolutely love to see Austro-Hungary present in your video) White War (Battle of the Dolomites) [1915] Battle of Ada Ciganlija (Battle of Belgrade) [1915]
I particularly love the WWI animations. I would also like to see Battle Of Tannenburg (1914) and the 2nd Battle Of Ypres (1915). I like your choice of Austro-Hungarian involvement. I like the way you think. The Eastern and Isonzo Fronts are all too often forgotten.
Im gonna say it, 1 day gang? Also......im typing this before the vid so.....BYE! After the movie: I can't believe watch I just watch, is this lego or real war? I don't even know! The voice acting makes it sound more emersive and the bombardment scene really makes me chill. Well done again sergeant......😢 well done. What a legend you are...🫡
The sound has greatly increased. I love how the french and german guys talk to eachother Pov you just upset a bunch of people by calling them french. 💀 I'm sorry I thought they where French 💀
@@oilersridersbluejaysthese Belgians obviously speak French. So they may be Walloons, or they speak French because that’s the language of officers and nobility in Belgium.
Your animations have definitely become more lively when it comes to background action. The little men along around the bunker, the cannons rotating in sentient fashion, truly have come a long way!
@squirrel287 technically not the first battle of WWI, but close. The first movements on the Western Front was German troops crossing the Luxembourg frontier.
Fantastic stop motion. I don't know why, but the part with the arty shell is so exciting, love it how the cam is shaking and trying to keep the shell in focus 🥰
Now this is how you make a PROPER Lego movie. Not CGI animated but stop motion! This looks so freaking cool and I would imagine apex levels of effort were made to produce this. Such a unique way of reenacting real life battles from history.
For some reason, it looks like UA-cam ate my comment... The way the Germans bring out the 420mm Howitzer (also known as Big Bertha) really feels like they're bringing out an ace they've kept up their sleeve. ADDENDUM EDIT: This stage of the battle is centered around Fort de Loncin, which, as shown in the video, was destroyed due to the detonation of one of its two ammunition storages. Twelve tons of explosives, artillery shells and who-knows-what else + one 420mm high-explosive mortar shell = KABOOM. Fantastically-done, JD. Can't wait to see the next one.😎

Hi jd,I was wondering if u can make the Siege Of Narva
Will you make another Pirate video?
Im glad lego animation is still a thing on youtube. I remember some of the first videos I ever saw on youtube when I was a young lad were lego animations on the family computer.
That Big Bertha weapon was the original bunker buster. And that whistling is intimidating. Also, love the new voices and sfx.
Fun fact! In real life, the gunner crew had to run an entire American football field away, put cotton in their ears, and even then they had to hold their mouth open, otherwise their ears would burst from the sheer explosive force.
The purest form of heavy siege artillery, only surpassed by Gustav in WWII.
@@oilersridersbluejays May I introduce you to the Kaiser Wilhelm, better known as the Paris Gun? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Gun

Depends on which fort, most of forts surrendered after heavy artillery started fire. Depiction show fort Loncin I think
All of the forts surrendered what the fuck are you talking about
Nah, they also largely surrendered.
@@PoffHistoryyou know that they were out numbered at most of there battles right they had no choice

Bro this is art! It really felt like a historic film about WW1. That’s genius!
Because it is. All three. Art, a historically actually quite accurate film about WW1, and genius.
You might be one of the greatest stop most animators and solo cinematographers I’ve seen
Yo i love artillery fortress scenes .Thats awesome
I wish channels like yours were rewarded for their efforts...
Excellent, Just excellent. Loved the dramatic buildup of the 210mm shell detonating the forts magazine. Why don't we have movies like this in Hollywood?

Fort de Loncin to be exact

42cm my Friend 😊
This is the "Dicke Bertha" on Lafette-wheels.

The best Lego stop-motion ever
There‘s more passion in this video than in most of modern hollywood movies
Best war movie I saw this year.
The quality of this is through the roof, easily the best stop motion lego film I've seen, rivaling the Lego Movie.

I’ve been watching Lego stop motion all my life and this movie is definitely one of the best ones I’ve seen. in my top ten list now.
Fantastic video. It was gut wrenching to see the soldiers in their bunker worrying and then it ultimately burying them. No more brother wars.
The animation is so satisfying to watch and I love the attention to details. Congrats to you and the sound designers!
I missed you man. Also i love ww1 fort designs and you nailed, im just about yo watch and im on the edge of my seat.
That build up to the big bertha was some Hollywood level stuff. Great job!
I was just wondering if Bertha was going to show up, and then she did and I literally cheered.
keeps getting better and better

Awesome work man! That big mortar felt intimidating, and its scenes of destruction felt devastating. Deserved likes from everyone here!
