LEGO Napoleonic Wars: 1812 to Waterloo

[@countsaintgermain393]

recognizing many minifigure heads from ofc the adventurer's and other lego lines like lego racer sets made me smile :3

[@StarBrickStudios]

Had to include them 😁

[@zanzillavids7759]

Better than the 2023 movie

[@ScottishGamer500]

2:12 that was a perfect transition and shot

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you!

[@brickhistory1354]

It’s so great to see another Napoleonic video after all these years! Not to mention this animation is amazing, the background, lighting, movement and figures are all incredible! Looking forward to more animations like this in the future.

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you so much!

[@ErikTongStudios]

the snow shot is beauitiful

[@masahige2344]

Makes sense that Baron von Barron's grandfather was a Prussian infantryman. Seriously, this is amazingly fluid and detailed.

[@CASmachine-ye]

Best Napoleonic stop motion I’ve seen

[@deadlycounter3630]

What a magnificent stop motion.

[@Crazyblitzbricks]

This is soo nice its surely one of the best Napoleonic animations I’ve seen, the shooting effects were amazing and I like how you made napoleon small :)

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you very much! :)

[@KnightProductions14]

I enjoy seeing all of the old heads being used for the soldiers, and I’m very happy to see another napoleonic video! The hand to hand combat scene is incredible, and the editing and sounds are great! This is my favorite animation you’ve made so far :D

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! :)

[@nostalgik._]

One of the best historical battles reenactment in LEGO STYLE I’ve seen. Great job ❤️😌

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you! :)

[@SigmaPelaaja]

4:20 The reloading looks very cool

[@OrbitalLizardStudios]

Amazing work. I'm so historically uninformed that this is the first time I'm learning that the 1812 Overture was written to commemorate this event.

[@daniilsvasilcovs7396]

All film is a just 10/10 (if a man has nothing to lose, he will create a masterpiece

[@Bricksandclips]

Best stop motion I have ever seen

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you so much!

[@Bricksandclips]

Do you have any suggestions to a new Lego KZbinr?

[@superplush9987]

I learnt more about history in this video than in my school

[@WronaBros.]

Whoah! Great animation! It was great seeing the cannons synced with Thaikovsky's Overture! And I loved the sword stabbing the map! Good luck with the contest!

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you, those parts were a lot of fun to do, especially the syncing up of the cannons! :)

[@bendsherman1984]

DUDE THAT WAS AMAZING! Sad that you didn’t have the actual Prussian figures and more French cavalrymen but that was still so well done. Good job dude!

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you very much! I actually listened to your songs of the Napoleonic wars videos while making this! :)

[@bendsherman1984]

@@StarBrickStudios Oh my god that's awesome!

[@Davids_50]

This was so COOL!!!

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you! :)

[@buggobricks]

A Beautiful brickfilm and more historically accurate than Ridley Scott version. Good luck with the contest man!

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you very much!

[@Redbrickstudiochannel]

What a wonderful Napoleonic brickfilm, I like it! 👍The battle scenes are superbly done, with all those minifigs that had to be animated - it must have been a long job that required a lot of patience! A short and brilliant brickfilm summary of Napoleon's campaign! 🤩Good luck for the contest! 😉

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thanks so much Red brick! Yeah, the marching shots especially took a lot of patience, it would take over an hour with each of those shots because of how many figures I had to march lol

[@NostroMovies]

This is impressive ! Congrats for your work

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you!

[@Pres44]

The image at 2:12 goes so hard. I love it!

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you! I was really happy with how that shot came out

[@stephk331]

This was the best stop motion I’ve seen. I also like how smooth the animation was.

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you!

[@BritishRoyalist]

It would of been cool to see napoleons campaign in francr in 1814 and neys commanding of the rear guard in the retreat of russia, but since this is what i can assume a low budget production, it is REALLY good for what it is. I'd recommend maybe a future stop motion on the peninsula war, and a lead up from wellingtons victory at Salamanca, to Vitoria

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you! Yeah I would have liked to include more scenes for that part, such as the battle of Leipzig, but I was limited by the length of the song. Thanks also for the suggestion, i'm thinking I would like to do a history series covering all of the Napoleonic Wars at some point, so I would definitely do a video covering the Peninsula war. I was also thinking of maybe doing a video solely on Wellington's life.

[@ChaliosAnimations]

So happy to finally watch this Ben. The shot of the snow on the flag is iconic and a great addition. I love how you experiment with new ideas in each film you make which always makes me eager for more!

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you very much man! Im glad you liked it :)

[@kinobrick5171]

Еxcellent implementation. I love it

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you!

[@Friedrich44]

Amazing job man! Finally someone who knows how to properly show line battles.

[@Gabriel-Films]

hella accurate love also the little napoleon

[@tapesayshowdy]

BRO THIS IS SO GOOD

[@Commandercodyfan]

That was a great stop motion! That fact that u made napoleon short is just extremely funny! I hope I see another one of those stop motions in the future.

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you! I hope to make more at some point :)

[@2x1productions]

Words cant describe how excellent this film is.. down to the faces i absolutely love it and the music blending in so well!! Great work man!

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you so much!

[@klegos7509]

Learning history through Lego animations, amazing

[@thienhuynh1430]

The sight of Napoleon entering Moscow overwhelmed me.🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Speaker_man_1724]

Wow, it's clear that the work is very large-scale and just cool. Respect to the author, this video should score a million

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you!

[@BordelDeMerde411]

Napoleon was not short, but very interesting video !

[@nursestoyland]

He wasnt short, he was the average height at the time

[@111111310]

YOU USED THE ONION SONG WOOHOO!! 🎉🧅

[@EdwardKav]

Nice Lego Napoleon war ever!

[@Evan_JB]

Amazing work dude! I loved how the map and locations helped to tell the story. The battle scenes were very well choreographed and animated, too. Can’t wait to see more from you! Also seeing Napoleon on the horse for the first half and then seeing him be short in that one shot was hilarious 😅

[@Evan_JB]

Also where do you find your decals? They look great in this one.

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you so much! 😁 They are non Lego figures from Aliexpress, which I’ve linked in the description. They are great quality and feel like real figures though!

[@Mrcraft4286]

WOW really nice work ! Plus i love the 1812 ouverture ;)

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you very much! :)

[@Mrcraft4286]

No problem, btw what s the FPS in the video? I try to stick with 17 when i make a movie but you must be on 24

[@StarBrickStudios]

This was made at 15 fps, which is what I usually use. Higher framerate doesn't always equal smoother animation, ive seen some animators make very smooth animation at 12 fps!

[@Mrcraft4286]

Wow ok i didn t know

[@Ryan_GermanCountryball23]

Really well done lad. I too have some of the same lego mini figures as you and making a lego stop motion of it was a beautiful sight to see! keep it up the good work chap!

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you! They are very cool figures

[@ЗАЛЕСЬЕ-я9ф]

Прекрасно это анимация прекрасна я тоже лего аниматор и я восхищён тем что у вас получилось 👏

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you!

[@jakegenovesi8508]

This was Fantastic please do more maybe Dressdan or Austerlits or maybe Morango up to you but it would be great to see =)

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thank you! I want to make a whole series covering the Napoleonic Wars at some point, so I definitely want to recreate those battles when I do. :) Also I have made a Marengo video before, but it’s 5 years old so not as good as my current stuff 😅

Vive L'Empeur! I admit, half the fun of this video was picking out which head or other minifig piece I had in my collection. Alas, most of my shakos (tall hats) are not nearly as cools as what most of these guys have.... For a future project, you should look into animating a Lego Richard Sharpe adventure!

That smoke effect works a charm! Short legged Napoleon walking across the battlefield really cracked me up. That's where using Lego as a medium shines. Oh, and I've gotta shout out that excellent shot of the snow falling on the flag at 2:26. Flour?

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thanks, that's good to hear! I was quite happy with how those Napoleon walking shots turned out 😁 And for the snow I used baking soda

[@joagluck]

Cool video. Funny how Napoleon lost to Sherlock Holmes😂

@@StarBrickStudios You're very welcome!🙂

[@MasalaYLegoStopMotion]

I love the way how you used 1812 overture in the video but in the battle waterloo part the song was playing russian anthem melody so maybe you should think more about which part of the song to use

[@StarBrickStudios]

Thanks! Oh I didn’t know that, maybe it would have worked better if I had the whole video be only on the invasion of Russia, but I wanted to include Waterloo. 😅

@@StarBrickStudios yea the battle of waterloo is such an iconic battle nice animation

[@Alex1975_veteran.]

Mikhail Lermontov Borodino - Hey tell, old man, had we a cause When Moscow, razed by fire, once was Given up to Frenchman's blow? Old-timers talk about some frays, And they remember well those days! With cause all Russia fashions lays About Borodino! - Yea, were there men when I was young, Whose songs your tribe is not to 've sung: They'd fight, - you 're none as good! An evil lot have they been drawn: Few left the grounds to which they had gone... Had it not been God's will alone, Old Moscow should have stood! Retreating this day and the next, We wonder'd when 's our battle, vext; The veterans talk'd upset: "What then? we 're off to winter dorms? Go the commanders by new norms; Daren't they rip foreign uniforms On Russian bayonet?" And then we had come upon a plain: Here 's room to fight with might and main! There built we a redoubt. Our troops are curt on high alert! Soon as sun's beams on cannon spurt, And on the bluish wood-tops squirt - The Frenchmen march right out. I drove the shell in tight: well isn't It meet our guest receive a present! Hold off, my friend Moosue! Who needs these games, why not begin; Those left alive will wall you in, If this be what it takes to win Our motherland from you! Two-days'-worth pass'd in trading shots. Why give of that too many thoughts? We waited third day on. Words started then to fly to the ear: "'Tis time we use the grape-shot, hear!" And now the field of carnage sheer The pall of night does don. Then I dozed off beside our gun, And not until the dawn, was done The revel of the French. But quiet was our open camp: His shako with a brush one 'd scamp, Cross-hearted, would another tramp, His sharpen'd bayonet clench. And once the sky lit from its border - Formations, gleaming, pass'd in order, With shouts all took its berth. Our colonel's mettle did you feel: Czar's servant, soldiers' father real... Yea, 'tis a pity: slain by steel, Now sleeps he in black earth. And eyes aflame, he spoke his mind: "Hey lads! is Moscow not behind? By Moscow then we die As have our brethren died before!" And that we'll die we all then swore, And th' oath of loyalty ne'er tore Neath Borodinian sky. Some day it was! Through flying smoke Set out in swarms many a French bloke, And e'er for our redoubt. The lancers in their motley guise, Dragoons with horse-tails with loud cries - They all would flash before our eyes, They all were near about. You 're never to behold such fights!.. The banners would fly by like sprites, In smoke would glimmer fire, The blade would sound, the grape would shriek, The fighters' hand to thrust grow weak, And muzzles have no space to seek O'er bloody heaps e'er higher. The foe that day had many ways To feel what daring combat weighs, Our Russian hand-to-hand!.. As did our chests - earth's hollows trembled; The steeds, the men all disassembled, And cannon volleys' sound resembled A moaning o'er the land... Dusk fell. We all were ready to Next morrow start the fight anew And stand till none were left... Of drums we heard far off the rattle: - The pagans left the field of battle. To count then we began the sad toll Of wounds and comrades reft. Yea, were there men when I was young, Bold tribe of whom shall songs be sung: They'd fight, - you 're none as good. An evil lot have they been drawn: Few left the grounds to which they had gone. Were 't not the will of God alone, Old Moscow would have stood!
