A brief story of Microbiology

Another Brickfilm release for a RevMen Studios production: A brief story of Microbiology. Why bother going through endless hours of intense tedium when Lego can say it all in less than 10 minutes? It is directionally correct - and it was a global project.



By the way, can anyone please help Mr Leeuwenhoek with his animalcules? He seems to keep on finding them in rather suspicious places...

Star Wars in 2 minutes

Why bother watching 6 3 long and tedious progressing very slowly Star Wars episodes, when Lego says it all in 2 minutes (and 12 seconds)?


Thank you, Hundreth!

Edit - Ricardo was kind enough to let me know that this is only a brief summary of episodes IV to VI. So, to be factually correct, this video only refers to the second part of the Trilogy (also called the "classic"). In Lego time, the whole series would take an estimated 4 minutes (and 24 seconds).

Partly Cloudy

Everybody knows that storks deliver babies, but.... where do the storks get their babies from?


Thank you, MJP!

The Danish Poet

The Danish Poet is was written, directed, and animated by Torill Kove and narrated by Liv Ullmann.It has won an Academy Award (2007) and a Genie Award (2007) for best animated short film. It follows a poet called Kaspar, whom his psychiatrist suggests to travel to Norway to meet a famous writer called Sigrid Undset. Little was he to know that the bad weather, an angry dog, a slippery plank, a careless postman, hungry goats and a broken thumb would change his destiny.... Or, how seemingly unrelated factors might play important roles in the big scheme of things after all.

Oktapodi

I just found out into this video in one of the newspapers I normally read. Two octopuses fight for their lives with a stubborn restaurant cook in a comical escape through the streets of a small Greek village, which reminded me of Santorini.

 

 It turns out that Oktapodi (2007) had won a number of awards as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short Film in 2009. A whole achievement, considering it started off as Graduate Student Project from Gobelins L'Ecole de L'Image. It was directed by Julien Bocabeille, François-Xavier Chanioux, Olivier Delabarre, Thierry Marchand, Quentin Marmier, and Emud Mokhberi; the music was composed by Kenny Wood.

Aren’t them adorable? Or, how they would say in German, so suuuuuuuuuuuuuss.
