Topic: What was that brickfilm?

Here’s a thread for anyone looking to ask the community if they can remember the name of a brickfilm they can’t remember. I’ll start off. There was this fantastic film about these heroes that were in hypersleep and were then awakened by the US president to defeat a mad scientist. I can’t remember the name for the life of me. There was a fantastic vocal performance by the mad scientist.

I forgot about this one, thank you for sharing the link mini/smile

Re: What was that brickfilm?

On the off chance someone who knows returns to this thread: I've been trying to find a super short film that is just a minifig picking up a piano and throwing on another one. It's only a few seconds long, and has a name like 'piano.mov' or something, but I cannot find it again for the life of me. I think the animator was French if that helps?

Sorry, no idea. I checked YouTube, Brick-A-Brack (the french brickfilming website), and BricksInMotion. Either it's unlisted or taken down, or just really obscure. Do you remember how you found it?

Thanks for trying. It was a shot in the dark really. I came across it in someone's 'Liked' playlist that they had made public, but since then it must have been made private again.

Re: What was that brickfilm?

Ok, let's try another. There's one I've been trying to find again for a really long time. It was a pirates brickfilm, in which a group of pirates go on a treasure hunt basically, but there's a joke at the end when they find the treasure and it turns out that it's a special brand of cheese inside the treasure chest. That's about all I remember I'm afraid, because it's one I saw when I was rather young.
Yeesh, you'd think I was going for the record with these obscure animations...

Re: What was that brickfilm?

I kinda doubt it's this because it's so obscure, but it does fit the description.

YES! It's this alright; thank you! I cannot remember how I saw it the first time, but it was one of the first brickfilms I saw, and it bugged me for yonks that I couldn't find it again. Cheers!

Re: What was that brickfilm?

I just looked into it, and I found that it was big on Google Video, but that's long since defunct. Maybe there were YouTube uploads as well, but it's hard to search for "LEGO Pirates: Treasure"; haha.

Now that I know it was big on Google Video (and because I think it's a good brickfilm), I decided it was justifiable to give it a wiki page, where you can find some very nice behind-the-scenes photos filled with early-2000s aesthetic.

That makes sense actually. The first few brickfilms I saw were via Google Videos, because YouTube was restricted. Cool to see those photos. Cheers again.

Re: What was that brickfilm?

Thanks for clarifying that. Brickfilms that were primarily popular on Google Video is certainly a "lost" chapter in history, and I wish I knew ways to learn more.

Re: What was that brickfilm?

I remember one brickfilm I cannot find. I think was uploaded to YouTube in like 2008, I think it had a stiff and I think a choppy animation style. It began with a shot zooming into a box full of LEGO Bricks, then I think a LEGO kid kicked a football, the football traveled miles, passing what I think was a LEGO medieval duel and eventually it stopping, it then ended with the shot zooming out of the box of LEGO Bricks.
That's all I remember. I watched this for the first and last time back in I think October 2018 or maybe October 2019. This is all I remember, if you guys remember a brickfilm with a similar premise to this, please tell me.
