Battle of Talavera (1809) LEGO Stop Motion Animation, Napoleonic Wars, Peninsular War

A stop motion animation that shows the Battle of Talavera, 1809, in particular the second day of the engagement when the main French attack took place.
Sir Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington took position on one side of the Portina Brook, most of his force being centered on the hilltop.
The French, under King Joseph Bonaparte took position on the other side of the Portina and over several waves of assault attempted to remove the British from their defensive position. This battle was made famous in modern times by it's appearance in the book and TV adaptation of Sharpe's Eagle, but this is a real account of the battle in this video. I do have a LEGO Sharpe video available on this channel!

That was a bloody affair! Those little PVC bayonets are sharp. :) Great fun though, and credit to the voice actors, too. Lovely work!

Excellent my good man!

[@Historicallego370]

I was thinking of making the battle of Freidland but I don’t know how to start if you could make a stop motion about freidland that would be very helpful and lovely video keep up the good work

[@QuackingFilms]

It wasn't one on my list to make but I'm sure it would be fun to make. This is my first time recreating an actual historical battle - I think you've just got to read up on a particular element of the battle and flesh it out from there - such as one particular wave of assault, or a particular area of the battlefield 🙂. Good luck if you make it!

[@lawrencedarmawan3164]

amazing and underrated

General daddy hill🥵🥵

[@37jsully]

Dude... You thought you were sneaky. You thought you could put Brian Cox's Major Hogan into a lego film about Talavera. You were wrong. Bastid.

[@QuackingFilms]

Haha I couldn't resist at least a nod to Sharpe! Well spotted 😂

[@SoldatDenisdaily]

Actually 9ème Is NOT An Infantry Regiment it's a Legere Like a Rifle Regiment it contains Chassuer De Rennes Voltigeurs Des Sanne And Carabineer Saint Goustan. And the french infantry you put is 1ème or 84 ème

[@Math-production]

just to make your videos more realistic the men in the shootouts were falling forward Otherwise nice video

[@PhyllisAncelet]

Uh hey your arm.Oh

[@nikoloznadiradze6323]

not historicly accurate i dont understood its waterloo or talavera

[@lynnejordan5266]

Who is king Joseph?

[@QuackingFilms]

Joseph Bonaparte was the brother of Napoleon, and at this point had been installed as King of Spain by his brother, after the French invasion 🙂

[@lynnejordan5266]

I was just making sure

[@KlemeMOC]

Very cool animation bro! Love it. I am currently working on a napoleonic moc if u wanna check me out!

[@QuackingFilms]

Thank you - I'll take a look :)
