Wow... just wow... and 28K in 2 months? Really? The weird thing - KZbin NEVER showed me this video, not a single recomendation. I found it by chance, just scrolling videos with the tag " lego ww2". And found this pearl. Incredible amount of work. It's not lego film, it's an art. But once again... 28K? This world took the wrong turn somewhere...

[@mbi.studio]

Exactly, it should have at least 1M

[@nonstopanimations101]

Very rarely does such a phenomenon of a film come out of the brickfilm community these days. THIS is one of them. Will be sharing this as often as i can. Truly amazing on all aspects of film making and animation 🙌

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Rob-ym]

Finally a short that is not just a meaningless display of technical ability and production value, but has a story that will speak for ever to everyone at different levels. The production is spotless and it does not get in the way of the brilliant storytelling. Like a proper very well done movie. I compare this to ATLAS another great stop motion short. Humans want and need stories with a message to be engaged and most times to be even warned or comforted. This short does it all. May you continue to do God’s work like this one and not be detoured by what the world craves and offers.

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Wow, thank you so much! I think you hit the nail right on the head. Our goal was to create a story that could stand on it’s own not just make pretty animation. Your kind words encourage us on.

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Thanks everyone for your dedication and support! We need your help to spread the word. If you know somebody, especially in the stop motion community, who you think would enjoy it, please share it with them! One share can go a long way, and our heart is to reach as many people as possible. Thanks guys! Let the bells ring! 🔔🔔🔔

This was so beautiful and yet so heartbreaking. The scene where the world is falling apart around Mary is so well done, it conveyed her feelings perfectly! I'll be doing my best to share this masterpiece!

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Thank you! Please do, and keep up the good work! We spent a lot of time on getting the lighting right for that scene, and the editing worked out well.

[@drhoodierrsm]

Honestly this is just way too underrated... It's very rare to see brickfilms with a beautiful storytelling and cinematography. Great work!

[@teutonicpictures]

One of my favorite brickfilms of all time now. Pretty much flawless. As I was watching, I realized that Alvin was going to die and I thought, "That's too soon, what's next?" But I hadn't realized how near the end it already was. The time just flew by! Amazing pacing. I also loved that you focused on Mary's grief. I feel like most in a short film like this would have made the scene very short. The lingering was really special. Fantastic job.

[@shaunstudios163]

Agreed

[@BrickTectiveProductions]

Great work! It was so cinematic!

[@mccstudios]

Magnificient work! The wait was definitly worth it! The story is incredible, and the way you've told it, bringing emotion along with the beauty of each shot... I just think everything came together perfectly This is undoubtedly one of the best brickfilms ever made! I just hope this film gets the attention and support it so richly deserves :) Can't wait to see a BTS of this masterpiece ;)

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes, we definitely want to make a bts video in the future. Thank you!

[@icybricksss]

This- this right here- this is the best brickfilm of all time. It’s shot so cinematically, the set design look perfect, and the subtle movements of the characters are incredible. The story is so well written and the characters so well developed. This is now #1 on my favorite brickfilms list. Thank you.

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Thank you!!

[@atomicstud]

Everything is perfect I never thought a Lego stopmotion would make me cry but you did it

[@swolebearey8568]

This is disgustingly underrated. It makes me sick that this doesn’t have more recognition.

[@ErikTongStudios]

holy cowwwwwwwwwwwww! the voice acting!! the cinematography! the story! the hymn lyrics! the set building!! the lighting! the animation! the score and music!! this is literally so beautiful holy cow 😭😭i dream of having a film as good as this! this is literally beautiful! This is the most perfect animation so emotional, whoever wrote this story and the script and storyboarding of it is so talented SHARE THE MESSAGE OF JESUS EVERYWHERE i pray God will bless you guys and that this will be spread everywhere cuz its so good

I literally forgot that I was "just" watching a Lego KZbin video. Well done man, this has cinema quality!

[@ArcticSM]

This was incredible. It was so well animated and very emotional! All the details were so perfect. The mailman preparing himself and the bells! It is such a shame the algorithm doesn’t reward all the hard work and love put into this video. This should be getting tons of views!

Best stop motion in history of world war lego

[@PanzerOfTheLakeProductions]

I have no words, this was... stunning. Rarely do LEGO animations focus on anything but the fighting. This is so much more. Incredible, absolutely incredible.

[@KorchieAnimations]

I am in utter disbelief that this is Lego stop Motion. Down to the storyline, lighting, and animation it was an enjoyable and emotional story. If the Oscars had a category for best Lego Film this would easily win. Great job and can’t wait for what the future will bring.

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Thank you!

[@bizarrebrickstudios]

I’ve seen so many things on KZbin recently, none of them compare to the level of this. This is something that deserves to be watched in theaters, down to the last second and detail! I don’t understand why this has so less views, you should try running some ads on KZbin, this deserves that 🎉! Beautifully made sir, this shall be on the top of my list of films!

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Thank you so much sir for the kind words! Yeah, we’re trying to get it out there as best we can. It’s all self funded right now.

Very well done! This is a beautiful film!

[@Bossman12stopmotion2009]

one of my favourite brickfilms ever. everything is just spectacularly done, added to my favourite brickfilms playlist.

[@Evan_JB]

This is so good! I did not expect a brickfilm to be so moving. The lighting, the atmosphere, and the voice acting all work together to make a very emotional piece. Actual tears welled up in my eyes twice, both times while Alvin was reciting the words of the hymn. This is a masterpiece of storytelling and animation.

[@vennettianimationstudio]

WOW, this is arguably the best brickfilm I've ever seen. The cinematography is incredibly. The shot choice guides the audiences eyes perfectly, which is rare for a brickfilm. The lighting is beautiful, and the camera movement is stellar!! Did you guys use motion control? Also, the pacing and edit is awesome - you guys built some serious tension. The mixing is also PHENOMINAL, and you wrote the score too? Great job guys, you're going places. Maybe we'll work on something together one day.

[@MorrisonBrothersProductions]

Thank you! Yes we did use motion control on a slider, and Daniel Morrison wrote the score. I totally agree - we were trying to create something unique in the stop motion community, but something that could stand on it's own as a film. Thanks man, and please share if you're able. Thanks!

[@juanatethejetdryer7580]

Rarely is such a phenomenon ever released in the brickfilm world, especially one about war, both historical, real and fantasy. This one is special, as it’s not about the soldier himself, but his wife, who goes through just as much suffering if not more than what he does. Thank you for this amazing brickfilm!

Wow, thank you! That was our goal. But we’re at the mercy of the KZbin algorithm I guess. We’re putting it in film festivals to try to get it out.

07:15 As soon as i heard this line I got a sinking feeling in my heart. I knew exactly what was coming next. And dear me did you make this moment cut deep. So much emotion and so many angels from one single moment. This is honestly one of the most beautifully crafted brickfilms I have ever seen. So much care and effort went into every aspect and it shows. I hope this film will be remembered and rewatched for many years to come. A very well done to everyone involved in this film.

This is the most epic lego animation i have ever seen

[@bear814]

I found this because I was looking for the poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.. which so relevant for our times though he wrote it 137 years ago. I sat through the Lego movies for my son, but was not a fan.. This blew me away. I'm shocked I was able to get past the Lego figures.. they have always irritated me. Not only did this immediately draw me in, but I was totally invested in the characters. I was actually tearing up when she read that second letter. Supurb work.. it must have taken ALOT of work to pull this off. Bravo.

[@starwarsstudio100]

Impressive work, a solid storyline with some splendid animation to boot. Keep up the good work!
