@superlegomaniacstudios1786 Thanks a lot! I am very glad that you liked it! I had a lot of fun doing some research for the background of my story. Currently I am thinking about the setting of my next movie 🙂. It will either be a Pirate movie where Admiral Woodhouse (and with him the British) make an apperance or a Castle movie probably set during the 100 year's war.

Both of those ideas sound great can't wait to see it come to life.

Thanks a lot for your feedback @enelabe. I am super happy that you liked the movie and that I could contribute to your personal canon of LEGO Pirates ☺

The voice is Peter Baker (www.englishvoice.tv/ ). You may have heard him in other Brickfilms too. E.g. LCM Brick Show worked with him in several of his movies (one example here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF7ZdJJ8mbOWjtE). I like his work a lot and am super happy that he could do the voice over in my movie.

Thanks a lot @Lego13587! I am super happy that you liked it ☺️

Sure. In order of appearance: 6244 Armada Sentry (though at the time of filming I did not yet have the green doors), 6276 Eldorado Fortress, 6274 Caribbean Clipper, 10320 Eldorado Fortress, 6267 Lagoon Lock-Up, a small fortress and a sailboat inspired by the Lego Idea Book 260, the Micro Black Seas Barracuda MOC by Veyniac, 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay, 40597 Scary Pirate Island, and the 21325 Medieval Blacksmith. Some smaller setups I built myself in order to connect the sets etc.

Thanks a lot! I liked to develop a small historical background to my story (even though not much of it is actually seen in the movie). First I needed a conflict between the Spanish and the French that happened during the fictional lifetime of my Lego characters. The Franco Dutch War started in 1672. However, Spain only was involved from 1673 onwards, which made me pick 1674 as the year of the French attack. The war ended in 1678 with a French victory. After the 9 years' war in 1697 France and her enemies were financially exhausted and signed the treaty of Rijswijk. Interesting for my scenario was that in that treaty Spain recognized French control over Saint-Domingue. Thus even though both wars largely focused on Europe, things must have happened in the colonies that fit quite well to my storyline.

Thanks a lot @CatapultingCows! I feel deeply honored by the reaction of you and the community on my videos. A big thank you for all your views, subscriptions, likes, and comments! ☺️🙏🏻

@Andrew.The.Culture.Nerd. Yesssss!!!! I am very happy that you noticed it 😊. The reference is very subtle as I could not fit in a haystack in a meaningful way. And even though I bought an assassins creed like hood, it did not make it into the movie as I felt that having her put it on would make the scene too long. But I could not make a pirates movie without making a reference to under the black flag 🏴‍☠️☺️

Thanks a lot @cheemsamsiedad! I indeed did quite some research on the available lego lore. But I have to admit that I take extreme liberties with it: generally I took only the names of sets and characters as a given. Beyond that I treated the lego lore more as an inspiration than as canon. Both of my movies play in the same „world“ though and the dates used in them match.

@IronhookFilms Understandable. Still, it was nice to see all the small easter eggs, both about the Lego pirates lore and real history as well. Plus your animation style reminds me of classic Lego animations. So much nostalgia, can't wait to see more!

Thanks a lot ☺️ and I am happy that I could surprise you 😁

Thanks a lot @tristan7122! I am very happy that you liked it ☺️

@sets_mocs_figures thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! ☺️

Thanks a lot @alexaceves1836! And thanks a lot for the hint. I do not have an account there yet but it is a great idea and I will follow up on it 🙂

@Futuristicbleh, thanks a lot! ☺ In the first half of the movie I use the original Eldorado Fortress (6276) from 1989. In the second half of the movie I use the new one (10320) from 2023. On it's left I placed the Lagoon Lockup (6267) from 1991 and on its right a MOC that is based on the Lego Idea Book 260 from 1990. I feel that the three give a very nice ensemble.

Nice this is my second channel what will your next video be? Again great video!

@@Hudsnotyoursproductions Thanks a lot, I am very happy to hear that 🙂. My next video may again play in the Lego Pirates universe (Admiral Woodhouse may eventually make his appearance 😁). But it will take quite some time until then. This movie took most of my spare time in the past 7 months - making Brickfilms is very rewarding but also quite time consuming 😅.

Yeah stop motions do take a long time I make some stop motions on both of my channels.

@dinoonyx, thanks a lot! ☺️

Thanks a lot @Wowslegendsfan! I had a lot of fun building it. In the center is the Scary Pirate Island (40597). I surrounded it with a small island and added a lot of coins from the 80ies/90ies 🙂.

Thanks a lot @재크와꼰나물!

@Jsandstuff, in 1990 Lego released the „Ideas Book 260“, which contained alternative builds for all their themes. The little fortress is from there. I did not build it 1:1 because I do not have all the parts needed. www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?B=260#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D

Oh but thanks anyway

@flitterbat, thanks a lot for your comment! ☺️ I am super happy that you liked all these details. The money piles are a small reference to the comic book „Asterix in Switzerland“. The governor there has similar tax paying habits as Broadside. As Broadside is french in my movie, I felt that a small reference to a classic french comic is very fitting😃.

@@IronhookFilms Totally got the reference when I saw it. Excellent work!

Thanks a lot @RealLordOfLego

Vielen Dank! Und ja, die Soldatinnen sind klar ahistorisch. Aber ich habe mich daran gewöhnt. Letztendlich sind die Lego Piraten ohnehin eine sehr romantisierte version des 17./18. Jahrhunderts.

Thanks a lot! And yes! Good catch 😊. The salesman is at least a distant relative of Stan from Monkey Island (one of my childhood heroes 😄).

@pumpkinstudioslego thanks a lot, I am very happy to hear that ☺️. And yes, it took basically all my spare time in the past 7 months😅

@ZMVS thanks a lot! 😊

So true

@swampy5222 Thanks a lot! I am very happy to hear that. The titles of two sea shanties also match to the part of the movie they are in: The first shanty is "Spanish Ladies" and I believe it fits to the Spanish part of the story. When the pirates have to free their colleague, I used "don't forget your old shipmate". Of course the lyrics do not match. But at least the titles do 🙂. I was also very happy that the new Eldorado Fortress is very faithful to the orignal. This allowed me to use them both to show that the fortress would change over time.

@COMMANDERFOX31 thanks a lot, I am very happy to hear that ☺️

Thanks a lot @nolanjordi, I am very happy to hear that 😊
