LEGO WW1 - Battle of the Somme, 1916

[@cheezyballz]

Hey guys, I want to thank you all for the support of my animations, as I would not be here without you guys! Here is to another (semi-)successful premier! 🥂 Also, this video has some pretty cool references and lore to jslegomaster and his ‘Story of Sergeant Winterbottom’ series. After the devastating loss at Gallipoli, Sgt. Winterbottom is promoted to the rank of lieutenant and is sent to fight at the Somme, where he tragically gets killed in action. My headcanon is that it is the son, Sgt. Winterbottom Jr. who fights in WW2 to avenge his father's death at the Somme, and is not the same Winterbottom who fights at Gallipoli

[@DarkRanger-tj9tm]

Dude this might be the best animation you made since the Stalingrad full video. Seriously. Some British soldiers having brown folded hats is accurate, because they would have actually been Australians! Some soldiers’ faces being terrified and some being normal is a good detail too, since 1 soldier might have gotten there yesterday and another last year. Pretty much everything in this video is gold. Keep it up. I wanna make stuff like this once I get the proper software and apps.

[@the_Jimmyest_of_Jim]

Mate, this is one of the best animations I have ever seen, the quick movement, the efforts, the voice acting, the moment of silence before jumping back into action. It's just, Perfection I don't think it gets better than this boys🗣️🗣️🔥🔥💯💯

[@mathiasskofteland2166]

You should really check out lc animations

[@CalebGalvin]

Great video dude. The immense work that was put into this is unreal !!

[@AlanMp-d5y]

Do the b battle of Verdun WW1

[@PolishUlan]

That Battlefield 1 sounds like kill in 4:49 and Lewis MG 3:08 are perfect. Your animation style is great and I love how you make it REALISTIC.

call me a glazer, but this is genuinely the best lego animator

[@MrShronkeProductions]

I agree!

[@Mako_31_1]

Glazer, but your right

[@WW2MAN-32P]

yeah

[@AlliedBricks45]

I agree, Cheezy balls or JD Brick productions

[@tydusdanielson2941]

AINT no one gonna call u a glazer man you good

[@kormstudios2020]

I love the rusty and rough look of the minifigures. It looks super realistic while keeping that somewhat awesome "toy" feeling Absolutely peak animation, bro is gonna be the next JD Brick Productions

[@Enthere_The_Animator]

The animation, is same as realistic human. It is the best thing you have ever done cheezy. You will be a legend

[@cpafol]

The inclusion of Medal of Honor's "Dogs of War" put chills down my spine. Incredible animation 🙏🏻

[@ekparatrooperfilms9668]

They call it no man's land and it will never change. I admire the work put into this

[@daOneKid15]

Bro dropped the coldest lego stop motion and left us without a blanket 🥶🥶

[@probrix9159]

Not only was this Cheezy’s best film yet in terms of quality, but I noticed how much more this film portrayed the horrors of war. Even though it’s just Legos, I almost felt myself tearing up on the inside because this actually happened to thousands of young men. Lest we forget 🙏

[@jairusphelimobrenosantos6400]

The multi-dimensional angles, the gore and the VA skills are topnotch! As a war history enthusiast, I'll rate it 10/10

[@easyfoxproductions]

Man, Imagine being one of these men, knowing that if you happen to survive the charge, your next task is to eliminate every enemy in the trench. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. Great vid!!

[@riga_balsam]

4:55 Sergeant Winterbottom himself arrived

[@legowardude610]

i like how you show the suspense and the fear before they start charging

[@Shady_sam_studios]

Dang bro this is actually amazing. I truly appreciate the practical effects for the explosions with the mountains and the cotton for the muzzle flashes. It gives it that stopmotion feel and makes it fit in with the setting. I can also appreciate the practical blood effects they always seem to look better. I also like how you depicted the fear of some of the British with their body language of when they are frightened and when someone gets shot their body reacts to it and 2:01 was one of the most brutal deaths that I saw it really makes you see probably what they saw in the somme and Dude you gotta keep going your stop motions are actually amazing I enjoy them very much same with a lot of others. Keep going!!

[@proboanimations3767]

Yup

[@アッハイネコ連隊]

演出、カメラワーク、演技も全てがクオリティ高くて驚愕しました。 ただ戦闘を描写しただけじゃなく、映画的な映像の作り方で見ていて満足感がすごい。

[@Capitaine_Croissant]

Amazing brickfilm. The tension, the emotion, the animation, the camera work, the practical effects… it’s out of this world. « LEGO is just a toy », « Animation is for kids » they said. Well you proved these two commonly heard tropes wrong. Great work! Also I hate to be that guy but I wouldnt be Capitaine Croissant without mentioning that the French Army was also there (unsurprisingly), and suffered important losses too :) Someone who doesn’t know much about this battle could guess from this video that it was solely Brits vs Germans, but the croissants were here too!

[@Storm_Wings11]

Guys I know it's NNN, but this shit is gonna be to good

[@cheezyballz]

Oh no 💀

[@BB_BricksYT]

Bros gonna bust to lego animation 🗣🗣

[@FruitSnackProductionz]

Oh yes 😉

[@proboanimations3767]

My guy I lost when he posted the trailer

[@dukejordan8147]

I think of the best things to make any animation better is to HUMANIZE the figures and give them life.

[@DaleyBricks]

I love how claustrophobic it feels in the beginning. Really makes it feel atmospheric. Amazing job!

[@cheezyballz]

Thanks!

[@RP101-s2m]

It is always a great day when cheezys uploads

[@soldierstudios7316]

Winterbottom is top soldier (Awesome film, absolute chaos, RIP those who died at the Somme)

Oh finally I can wait to enjoy this new lego ww1 video my friend:)

Nice work Cheezy. I really love this animation, it is the best!

this might be the best stop motion ive seen in my life

One of the best animations ive seen in a while!

I have no words. But you have a new sub!

bro this is genuinely so crazy loved every second of it man 🙏🙏

[@endurobandit]

This animation was so good that I teared up at the end. All the little details add up to make such a huge difference! That's why you're the best!

[@bricksplosion2379]

Amazing, just amazing

[@AlexFoster-z8y]

Love your stuff man! Some of nay the best animation! Keep it up!!

[@JaredNoyes]

I love how you are able to capture all the chaos of war so easily. For just being legos, it seems so realistic.

[@Jerremiahmorris]

My man, this is unbelievably good. I can’t even comprehend how you can pull this kind of masterpiece off. 100/10.

[@Jonah13J]

This is absolutely incredible. This genuinely seems like it was made by a big budget studio. At times I felt very tense, even though it’s just Lego. Amazing work

[@sylvester_productions]

What a masterpiece! Truly one of the best animators!💯💯

[@player_context]

YES FINALLY THE LONG WAIT THE LEGO WW1 BATTLE OF SOMME IS HERE LESSS GOOI

[@gew43]

i will always respect your choice to use practical effects it looks so good. also i love the all quiet on the western front 1930 scene lol 2:26

[@cheezyballz]

Thank you! That one machine gun scene from the movie did inspire me do make that shot

[@pantherhmtd2683]

As always, your animations are so smooth and watch. Never gets bored everytime I watch your stopmotions. Awesome and Excellent work. Lego military stopmotions should be like these, smooth and natural

[@kitler1940]

I am grateful to you for making subtitles. And the animation is just amazing!

[@Someguywholikesducks]

As someone who loves ww1 this looks great. Although you should have made the grass and sky darker. Amazing though.

[@gavinwhite8506]

I read the last part of the description about lack of motivation and school 🏫 I’m right there with ya buddy

[@cheezyballz]

Yeahhh, it’s more tedious than any animation I’ve ever done

[@KnightProductions14]

Didn’t think it was possible, but the Dieppe Raid has a new competitor! This is incredible, probably your best yet! The blood is amazing with this one, and the trench combat was some of the best I’ve ever seen! Great job! :-)

[@starsjosephfrost]

in an oversimplified way, the battle of the somme was essential a battle where people were sent to die over nothing, it was suppose to draw the attention from the attacking germans in Verdun if i am not mistaken. But in general it was a battle where people died for a whole lot of nothing.

[@javier.escanilla833]

Incredible, I really liked how you achieved the explosions

[@roguerangerproductions]

Wow this was amazing! I loved the wide shots they must’ve token forever. I really line the realism you put in this, especially the shrapnel. Most deaths and injuries in war are caused by shrapnel and not gunfire so that was a nice detail. I also really liked how you didn’t make it just a bunch of mindless people running into battle, a lot of them felt like they had emotion. Great work mate!

[@cheezyballz]

Thank you! The overview shot when the soldiers exit the trenches took me 3 hours! Tedious, but it was worth it

[@roguerangerproductions]

@ dang, I can imagine. I’ve done shots line that and they take forever. And mine come out so bad 😂

[@MrWoIf]

Lest we forget...3 simple words that holds the power of history. Amazing job mate

[@SpitfireDudeNewStart]

Fun Fact: this is actually the video that took the *longent* to animate, if you go back to his first videos, one of them is a 6 second trailer for a Battle of the Somme stopmotion, and since this was released in 2024, it took cheezy over 4 years to animate lol

[@cheezyballz]

Lmaooo

[@HellCat_V1]

The arty on the background before the attack, perfect, and the sequence of PTSD then death, really shows the reality and the Battle, *perfect* Tell your family by me, they are amazing, because, mentioning them in the video, they must be amazing

[@cheezyballz]

They definitely mean the world to me, thank you!

[@HellCat_V1]

@cheezyballz same to me bro, cheers to them?

[@lukethewesternengine229]

Cheezy is peak. I am predicting this before the animation starts. I hope we'll all be there!

[@Clemmyy108]

Before I watch this, YES! IT'S FINALLY OUT! THANK YOU! After watching this, Oh My God. I like how unlike some other lego stop motion creators, this shows how intense the battle actually was. This was a damn masterpiece.

[@J-brick]

You are better than most Hollywood movies

[@BrickFilm_B.F]

Wow, that's great, it gets better and better with each animation!

[@MR.GUARDtheFirst]

I think these might be even better than JDbricks films, I still really respect the production of JD though, but these films got so much life to them

[@Mynam3i5b0b]

Can’t wait to see future films, they are always improving!

[@ozyryx2610]

Man this is crazy good shows perfectly how freaking brutal that was

[@LachlanWard-q1z]

This has got to be the best Battle of the Somme stop motion ever this is fantastic

[@RoMuLLeS]

Man that animation quality is just amazing, the amout of horror that those soldiers experienced is portrayed brilliantly, i haven`t seen close combat of that quality in lego animation like ever i think, after all youve and those who helped you with that piece of art did wery good job :)

[@Masamies-g8b]

I have watched many lego ww1 videos and I can say that this is one of the most realistic

[@DengsFish-nl1gu]

This is one of the best stop motion videos I've seen, amazing work!

[@Mr.AYC732]

As a ww2 and ww1 fan can we all just admit it’s gonna be the bestest battle on his channel???

[@lightningclonetrooperprodu3110]

cool animation, also, I have a recommendation: if you get tired of having to change the decals every time you put blood on them, before cutting them out, put a layer of tape on them so assuming your marker isn't sharpie, you can just peel off the sticky tac and gently rub off the marker without peeling off the decal Edit: I misspelled tape lol

[@alesproduction]

It is made soo good that i am almost crying. Well done! Without doubts The best lego stop motion animation

[@WPBrickfilms]

Better then most hollywood productions, good lord mate, this is freakin amazing!

[@MaxsLEGOStopMotion]

This is outstanding.

[@realv.o]

Masterpiece, You are very good at making stop motion and voice acting.

[@MinifigMojo]

Bloody phenomenal! This captured the horrors of war perfectly from the facial expressions to the audio effects and the cinematography is amazing. This should be nominated for an Oscar 🙌🏼

[@thefrontline4082]

I rewatched it so much just seeing how you made the physics of everything so well.

[@TurkeyProductions7]

Plot twist: cheezy is actually just a klutz and always bumps his figures which is why they look so smooth bobbling around like that
