I Built a GIANT LEGO Castle…

I Built a GIANT LEGO Castle For My Cats! I combined 10 of the LEGO Lion Knight's Castle with a ton of extra bricks, to create the ultimate GIANT LEGO castle, for my cats Ralph and Bella!
A big thanks to Sven from SeeYouInMainstreet for voicing Van Gogh!

We raised £36,545.34 for schools in Cambodia! Thanks so much everyone, you’re amazing! The shoutouts will be in the next video, and £50 / $50 + donors should have been emailed a form to fill in with the name / names you want shouted out, so please keep an eye out for it. I’ll keep you posted with updates from charity:water and the specific schools / projects we’ve funded in future videos, but once again, thanks a million, I've been blown away by your generosity.

If anyone complains that time travel wasn't invented yet back when Vincent Van Gogh lived, it's just that a future time traveller time traveled back to him, bringing the time machine with them.

My kids and I have binged pretty much all of your videos in the last week. and then re-binged, and re-binged... (I have a 5 year old... She actually made Ralph and Bella out of a few paper plates the other day.) I just want to say, I love your sense of humor and your authenticity whenever you talk about your life/cats/hobbies. It makes the fifth rewatch of a vid just as enjoyable as the first. And your theme song is constantly stuck in my head... In this video, in particular, I was rolling with laughter with your explanation about the timetraveler. It's brilliant and wonderfully meta with the comments and it was just perfect. Love your stuff, and I look forward to the sixth binge and more!

[@KatR264]

It is only after building the Lego Castle set myself that I begin to understand how epic this feat of Lego building is! With each of the 26 sections taking between around 1hr 15mins and 1hr 30mins to build, the unedited castle takes around 40 hours; but you combined 5 of them with thousands of extra bricks! That is bonkers! Well done Chris!

I even saw the Chef taking advantage of that handy umbrella you installed! If there's room I'd lug it up to your office and add a train station stop for the castle villagers!

Hi Chris, I have been a fan of your videos recently. Since 2020, I’ve seen your content, and they’re a very pleasant change of pace to the rest of the content on KZbin. While most aim for a specific audience, your content is made for all ages, and I love that! My favourite videos are mainly your Lego videos, the ones with your cats and your travel videos! I’ve loved your videos a lot. I just want to ask you something, you’ve had an absence of travel videos recently. I’ve just wanted to ask if you’re planning any travel videos for the future. If you’re reading this, thank you for making my 2020-22 better! Happy new year! 🎉

Hey, thanks a lot! Travel videos as they were won't return on this channel (but I might one day start a channel for travel vlogs etc.) but over the next few months, I've got some videos planned that incorporate travel in to lego and cat videos... very exciting!
