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.
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
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
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.
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!
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! 😉
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
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!
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!
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.
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!
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?
I knew that someday you would come back to doing a Napoleonic Wars stop motion and you finally. This is amazing and some of the best work you’ve done. I think you should make some more
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!
Great, great job!! One complaint is that Napoleon wasn’t actually short, that was British propaganda that prevailed through history. Still looked funny though!
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!
Один из лучших мультфильмов по наполеоновским войнам! Особенно хороши сделана русская армия, музыкальное сопровождение хорошо идет под фильм🔥🔥ЗА ВЕРУ, ЦАРЯ ,И ОТЕЧЕСТВО!
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
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. 😅
![Gunna - HIM ALL ALONG [Official Visualizer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HiCxoDeo0hc/mqdefault.jpg)
recognizing many minifigure heads from ofc the adventurer's and other lego lines like lego racer sets made me smile :3
Had to include them 😁
2:12 that was a perfect transition and shot
Thank you!
Better than the 2023 movie
hella accurate love also the little napoleon
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.
Thank you so much!
the snow shot is beauitiful
Best Napoleonic stop motion I’ve seen
Makes sense that Baron von Barron's grandfather was a Prussian infantryman. Seriously, this is amazingly fluid and detailed.
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.
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
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! :)
This was so COOL!!!
Thank you! :)
This was the best stop motion I’ve seen. I also like how smooth the animation was.
Thank you!

BRO THIS IS SO GOOD
Amazing job man! Finally someone who knows how to properly show line battles.
4:20 The reloading looks very cool
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!
Thank you! They are very cool figures
So fluid, that was great to watch
absolute cinema
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!
Thank you very much! I actually listened to your songs of the Napoleonic wars videos while making this! :)
@@StarBrickStudios Oh my god that's awesome!
I learnt more about history in this video than in my school
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! 😉
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
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!
Thank you so much!
The sight of Napoleon entering Moscow overwhelmed me.🔥🔥🔥🔥
A Beautiful brickfilm and more historically accurate than Ridley Scott version. Good luck with the contest man!
Thank you very much!
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!
Thank you, those parts were a lot of fun to do, especially the syncing up of the cannons! :)
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!
Thank you very much man! Im glad you liked it :)
VIVA LA FRANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vive L'Empereur!!!
amen
@@StarBrickStudiosVive la république!
Bro it’s Vive la France
All film is a just 10/10 (if a man has nothing to lose, he will create a masterpiece
Wow, it's clear that the work is very large-scale and just cool. Respect to the author, this video should score a million
Thank you!
INCREDIBLE! You told me your plan to make a Napoleonic war film and it is 100x better than I imagined!
Thank you so much my friend!
With each video your craft defines its self well done sir
Thanks Eryk! 😁
Truly a G&B moment
lol, Im a B&I player myself ;)
YOU USED THE ONION SONG WOOHOO!! 🎉🧅
THIS IS SO SMOOTH
Learning history through Lego animations, amazing
omg this is so epic very epic very very very epic epic epicly epic very epic epic epicly epic video
Really impressed. This better wins
Very well made my guy
The image at 2:12 goes so hard. I love it!
Thank you! I was really happy with how that shot came out
This was beautifully animated, I really enjoyed it. I hope you keep making these!
Thank you! I would definitely like to make some other battles
Men, grab your muskets. We are defending Paris! Also I love that you gave Napoleon his average height and the Old Guard!
Cool video. Funny how Napoleon lost to Sherlock Holmes😂
Great summary and excellent stop motion, loved the sound effects and the music as well!
Thank you!
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.
Thank you! I hope to make more at some point :)
WOW really nice work ! Plus i love the 1812 ouverture ;)
Thank you very much! :)
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
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!
Wow ok i didn t know

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
rly nice Animation and graphics!! keep the work going
Thanks!
Nice Lego Napoleon war ever!
I knew that someday you would come back to doing a Napoleonic Wars stop motion and you finally. This is amazing and some of the best work you’ve done. I think you should make some more
Thank you so much! I definitely want to make some more now
its so clean
Napoleon was not short, but very interesting video !

I like how he made little napoleon 😂
He was the average height for the time lol
THIS WAS SO GOOD INFINITE ♾️ OUT OF 10
Thanks so much! :D
I don't know how he did it, but he sure did! Great job with this one! Must have taken ages with all the moving figs!
Thank you! 😁 It sure did, the marching shots took the longest to film
Great video! Very well done!!
Thank you!
Wow
Nice work on this!
Thank you!
Great job
Incredible man
Thanks!
So good
This is amazing!
Thanks!
The Fall of an Emperor
Great, great job!! One complaint is that Napoleon wasn’t actually short, that was British propaganda that prevailed through history. Still looked funny though!
Thank you! Yeah, I had him be short mostly because it looked funny lol
Еxcellent implementation. I love it
Thank you!
bro you are underrated 😮😮😮
Amazing!
Прекрасно это анимация прекрасна я тоже лего аниматор и я восхищён тем что у вас получилось 👏
Wow ! Amazing, i made a animation to, but it wasn't this huge success !

VIVE LAF RANCEEEEEEEE
VIVA LA FRANÇIAS Guts and bitpowders be lik: 3:42
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!
Nice work 👍👍

Absolutely amazing work! I have animated some animations too and I know how hard it is to make something like this.
Thank you!
Most impressive!
Thank you!

Noooo, they conscripted Johnny Thunder😭😭😭
Isnt he british?

this look so cool!
Thank you!
Great work man also where did you get thise mini figs from they look beautiful
Thank you! You can find them linked in the description of this video :)

I understand your pain
Peak
Remember; Invading Russia didn't work for France; nor did it work for Germany
It's so funny that Napoleon is smaller than the others 😂 but just saying he was not small he was awrig for he's time.....
Yeah, I made him shorter because it was funnier lol
@@StarBrickStudios yeah keep up the 👍 work
0:43 I know 1812 overtune where I hear it 🗣️🔥🔥
Same i know that too
good video
4:26 Guess I'll die
3:54 is that Guts & Blackpowder sound effect when you get hurt?
I don’t remember where I got the sound effect from so it might be
Real life Napoleon wasn't small, he was the avergae size of the time
Short king Napoleon🫡
4:28 is that an “classic” looking french infantry?
Yep! You can see him at other parts of the video as well :)
@@StarBrickStudios cool :D!
