That was pretty sweet! The thing that's crazy to me is that usually in a brickfilm you can pick out little imperfections in the animation, but I really didn't see any here. Fantastic job!

[@Rogue_Nine416]

I thought I heard your voice in this.

[@brictator]

this animation was done on what planet? smoothezt there be

[@generalgage4780]

oh wow brick dictator

[@thecombine887]

Bricktator

[@phoenixstopmotions]

Keep coming back to watch this one. One of the most memorable brickfilms. We need a HD re-upload

[@MRlegobuilder987]

I just watched this. Its the best brickfilm I have ever seen. The concept was great, the sound editing was wonderful, the sets were well built, the steamers were cleverly designed, the cinematography was extremely advanced for a brickfilm, and the animation is probably the smoothest and most realistic ever in brick filming history (really). I can't express how impressed I am. This is just a gem. I am going to watch this again, Its just really amazing. Outstanding work. Truly outstanding.

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Pushover Productions I love this to and it has greatly inspired me

[@cyantile5490]

Pushover Productions agreed

[@thebrickccentric3728]

Could not agree more! It's perfect!

[@emnbeats41]

You’re 100% correct

[@obsanimations]

Instant favourite. Please don't stop making videos, because you never disappoint. This is a masterpiece!

[@SeanWillets]

Awesome. Your animation blows me away and this movie was fantastic!

[@brictator]

just watched this again

[@blaine8197]

Brick Dictator And commented again....

[@thi141]

Can you do more WW2 Brickfilms

[@DeclanLangenfeld]

Incredible? Right? I just returned to this right now too

[@TompkinsAnimation]

This is amazing! One of the first smooth brickfilms I've seen on KZbin.

[@AquaMorphProductions]

This is easily one of my favorite brickfilms

[@brickmasterstudio9962]

This is probably my favorite brickfilm on youtube.

[@JedAnimationStudios]

This has and always will be one of my fave animations from ur collection dude. So smooth and amazingly detailed sets

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

An incredible animation, the story, sound design, music, all of it! This video deserves a lot more attention than it’s gotten, I still come back to this and each time I’m awed by it, keep it up, I love your projects.

[@pkmovies92]

Beautiful, beautiful animation style.

[@dudumachado007]

this is an amazing short film!!! I remember watching this like 6 years ago and i was completely immersed in this world you built. Seeing it again, now that I'm 18, it brought back memories and it reminded me of how good brickfilms can be.

[@sirfijoe450]

This is a piece of history now

[@joebor1777]

Oh. My. GOD! This was AMAZING! The best animation I've ever seen! I cannot wait to watch another one of your films.

[@TomtheBombmedia]

Since this was uploaded last year, I can say that this was the year's best brickfilm in my book. Keep it up. I enjoy watching your films.

[@thatsfinestudios]

I don't think I ever commented on this when I first watched it many years ago, but I'm doing so now, because this piece has aged so well. Many praise your impeccably smooth animations, as they are indeed a hallmark of a twickabrick film, but what doesn't get praised as often is the writing. Whether the mood is humorous or dramatic, the story is always instantly captivating. The Front is no exception. But to specifically address this film, I want to express how much it has inspired me in my (far fewer and not as beautiful) films. From little animation tricks I picked up from this piece or the greater overall story, I like to think that The Front has inspired much of what I've animated today-or hope to in the future. Thanks for being out there, twickabrick. May this channel never die.

[@lesraa.herdiaji4143]

you should make this a series. i love this so much!

[@adfilms97]

I honestly cannot express how blown away I was by this film. The animation was phenomenal. The story had a wonderful flow, and the camera movements were superb (very unique at times, and amazing). This is by far one of the best animations I have ever seen. I eagerly look forward to your next film! :) Keep up the amazing work!

[@NuclearCucumbers]

The war of the steampunks! This has to be the most well written brickfilm I've ever seen. Excellant and refreshing!

[@SplitterShot]

Probably the best Brickfilm this year. Enjoyed every second!

[@seantwofriel5013]

This video is obviously one of the best stopmotion videos ever made! Great job!

[@SunspaceStudioProductions]

I think this might be the best cinematography I have ever seen in a brickfilm.

[@MrMattylegoman]

A master piece. Your animation, completed with finesse. Storyline, excellent, lighting and camera movement, beautiful. Am I the only one who thinks that this animation has the most "life-like" feeling out of all brickfilms? You definitely deserve more recognition! Looking forward to watching your other pieces and what may come in the future! -Matt

[@jojonas5463]

I like the minimalistic mood of the Film. The handling of the guns and depiction of the bullets are magnificend. As the mirror and "walk of shame" scene. I believe the way the flashbacks where implemented are unique in cinema in general. Great Work 👍

[@Geertos13]

Flawless! It's freaking fantastic! Amazing set design, cinematography, camera work, don't even get me started on the smoothness of the animation. Phenomenal job! I take my hat off for you dear sirs! Well done!

[@ENDfilms44]

Amazing brickfilm. Smooth animation, good story, good sound. and I like the shot viewed through the mirror. Possibly your best brickfilm yet.

[@chrisjrowlands]

What a great film. I don't usually watch brick films longer than a couple of minutes, but this captured my attention throughout.

[@edward4840]

Holy shit! This is genuinely amazing. The plot is so incredible, and I just love every frame of it. I'm not even over exaggerating, I love this. It's so interesting, and there's not a dull moment. You must make more of this.

[@BrickFilmerPowerlolifk]

The story, the tone and the gorgeous animation create a masterpiece. I hope you make more films like this.

[@jasonborregolopez5237]

4 years of this vídeo and day today is a amazing stop motion. I love this, thank for your work, is greateful

[@CalmaxFilm]

One of my favorite brickfilm, I really like the way how you animate and direct it, really well done!

[@ForlornCreature]

That was great! I loved the animation, you have a very nuanced style. The sound design was good, if a bit sparse in some places. The voices were the weakest part - 9:58 is a pretty good example where the actor really needed to go above normal talking levels. In future you should be much more aggressive in how you approach voicework, to really sell what's happening. Great style though! How do you get those delicious handheld-type camera shots? They just felt really great.

[@twickabrick]

First off, thanks for the feedback! To answer your question, the handheld shots are actually pretty easy to get thanks to the shape of our camera and the rig we use, which you can see a picture of here: www.flickr.com/photos/23944232@N02/11672475773/in/set-72157639238963976 With this setup, it's pretty easy to just rotate the camera around in the rig a little bit between each frame.

[@ForlornCreature]

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing that. Keep making animations please! :)

[@Etbrixproductionz]

Even 6 years later this remains one of the best

[@verkoprod5591]

Dear Twickabrick; This is the best animation I have ever seen in my MY LIFE! Keep up the great work

[@LoneWolf-zg1mi]

Still watching this today. One of my all-time favorite animations

[@brickhead125]

This is one of the best brickfilms I have ever seen! This really inspired me to keep going with my channel.

[@HoffmannToons]

This has got to be one of the best brickfilms I've ever seen!

[@okstopmotion5041]

This inspired me to try and make steampunk stop motion’s (I failed ) but this is an amazing stop motion. Keep it coming!

[@crazylegoarmy]

this is one of the best brickfilms I have seen yet! good job!

[@spennington02]

Dude this needs a sequel! This an awesome stopmotion and I love watching it!

[@LeitoLegito]

This is why I love Brickfilms, theres sooo much you can do! It's MIND BLOWING! And you guys are a proof of that! This is not only an MAZING Brickfilm but an AMAZING animated SHORTFILM! Congrats, you truly have inspired me!

[@elijahfrostmonk3623]

I love how smooth and dynamic your animation is. Brilliant.

[@rockandrollproductions3201]

Best lego stopmotion i have seen in years! AMAZING

[@SMBShippuden4]

I really appreciate this. One of my favorite brick films. Thank you !

[@legomigginy4054]

That was absolutely extraordinary!!!!!!! The animation is so smooth, and realistic!! The movements and sets were fantastic!! The voices were also amazing!!!!!!! U deserve about 700,000 subs!

[@tardiskeeper6]

Top notch. Good sets, perfect use of sound, smooth animation

[@j.demo4]

this is one of the most smoothest animations i've ever seen in lego

[@stampedestudios7043]

I will never stop loving everything about this film: The tone The direction The characters The animation The plot And after all that, the thing that impresses me the most is the use of camera movement. I would much rather you tell me how to do camera movement then even a brickfilmer like Forrest waley! Thanks for everything you have ever done. EVER! 😀

[@bwjclego]

I had to come back and watch it a third(?) time. It's one of few brickfilms that are serious contender for my all-time favourite.

[@FilmTargetStudios]

All the best brickfilmers are commenting on this video. cool. anyhoo...AMAZING VIDEO. good to see that you are back

[@Derapplecraze]

It’s criminal that this doesn’t have more views

[@AmuroRay007]

Superb stopmotion animation. I can’t wait to see more!

[@christiananimations538]

Amazing job and the animation is sooo smooth it's one of the greatest brickfilms

[@DudeBrick]

I can't believe this is the first time I've seen this. Guys, this was amazing. I loved every bit of it. I would love to see a sequel or prequel of some sorts!

[@maxpaladino4132]

This is amazing and be far my favorite brick film I've seen!! The animation was so realistic and the movement of the mini figures were great!!! I also really liked the steampunk aspect!!! Great Job dude!!!!!

[@Biofarts]

This was an absolute masterpiece! The back story and animation was a 10/10!

[@pickerton98]

wow, very very smooth! I would love to see more of this sort of stuff twick.

[@jargostudios2746]

Great story, smooth animation, great music and sound effects! Exellent!

[@thatlegoclone515]

I like how creative this is, not just like star wars or ww2 like everything else

[@fabriziosanchez1507]

Jolly good show! The detail you involve is so spectacular combined with such fluid motions that I felt as if I were truly watching a real film. :P

[@Certified_Clown_YT]

I’m surprised this only has a few thousand views you deserve so much more

[@legosolgefilms]

This was amazing! The storyline, effects, talking and stop motion!!! Hands down the best brickfilm I've seen in the past year! Great job! Keep it up and I subscribed ^_^

[@BenLAnimations]

Probably the best animation I have seen! Amazing work!

[@starfighter3513]

That was excellent! It's a great way to end 2013 in brickfliming. Looking forward to more!

[@SyltherEntertainment]

Really, really awesome! Like with your BRAWL entry you managed to make a fantastic atmosphere. The gesture and the timing of it, is so awesome. And to be able to tell a story in the brickfilm that is interesting for more than 10 minutes is a big achievement. Actually I’m going to see it again to enjoy the animation.

[@hawkwarrior782]

I loved how smooth everything was, plus a great story equaled another subscriber

[@sfugity]

Fantastic job! This is most likely your best film yet.

[@theworldofdylan]

This deserves way better then 400 likes and 6,680 views. I've watched it loads of times, one of the best short lego movies i've seen! And great story!

[@ScreamingTantrum]

And here I am lost for words... You make me wan't to begin my animating career back up.

[@petefraseranims]

Wow thats some of the best lego animation I've ever seen! Keep up the good work!

[@whitevenom101]

If it was a movie in theaters i would pay to watch it, thats a legendary brickfilm

[@JerodZboinski]

OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND IT!! I’ve been searching KZbin for days trying to THIS animation! I remember watching it when I was young, but I didn’t remember the name! FINALLY!!!!

[@TheBlakkflayme]

This was just amazing. The smooth animation was pleasent to the eye, I was hooked with the interesting storyline, and amazed by the effective practical effects. You are getting comments from very famous people including FancyPants! I am surprised that this video only has 700 views, yet it deserves hundreds of thousands. I subscribed and will be expecting more wonderful films! Keep it up!

[@HernakHalamo]

Cool story, awesome animation, the background in 8:31 is so perfect ! Don't stop making videos dude !

[@WilliamJMaron]

I love your smooth animation style and I also like the plot!

[@gear_blox6911]

My favorite lego stop-animated picture.

[@rafaelbisinoti]

This brickfilm Is directed and animated masterfully. It's also very original I might add. I love it

[@ake593]

Ahhh the animation looks godlike!

[@brotherswaughstudios4156]

One of the greatest brick films of all time.

[@missionlunatic81]

Awesome! Animation was smooth and storyline was great!

[@nathandutton2860]

Make a part two man this is great lol I love the acting

[@ncopictures7182]

This needs a sequel so much!

[@nat1movies]

That was amazing, the animation was fantastic, as with all your videos. I have seen lots of brick films, yet few are up to this quality, to me you are among the best at it on youtube. Please make more. Flawless! That is a like and subscription from me.

[@TheVideoGamingTeam]

This is my favourite stop motion by far

[@thelegofreak]

I loved this. I wanna know more about the lore of the steamers and the origin too. Will you make more?

[@emorynguyen1583]

Not what I expected but this is great

[@funkymonkeystudios1143]

One of the best brickfilms ever

[@frumpleskilstonanimations2409]

I think this is my favourite brick film so far

[@guineapigtv5122]

Please, please, PLEASE make a part two!!!

[@constructionsproductions]

Any new brick filmer that sees this would be instantly aspired

[@JSAirways]

wow such an amazingly smooth animation! You have my deepest respect...

[@matissCG]

This is fucking amazing. 24 fps and 12 minutes must have taken ages. If voice acting would been better then this animation would be mistaken of lego original ones.

[@BrickPolice]

I love this film. Please film a sequel.

[@stopframestudios9443]

This was extremely well done the aniamation is so smooth I enjoyed this very much!

[@BrickTavernFilms]

Dan's Animations HEY MAN HOWS IT GOING WHAT A COINCIDENCE
