Monty Python and the Holy Grail in LEGO Trailers

Animated short, created for DVD and viral, for Python Pictures. Doubtless Spite Your Face Production's most viewed film, thanks to its place on the Holy Grail DVD, but also via countless broadcast appearances worldwide. She's also been featured on a number of magazine discs and in the days before YouTube, could be found at the very top of the charts on Yahoo Movies, iFilm, Atom Films and Veoh. Today it continues to spread of its own accord, inspiring imitators and even sequels.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a film enjoyed by many. It's British humor may be confusing to some Americans, but to some Americans like myself, I understand and I'm amused at the witty jokes that are in this film. While Monty Python's other films may be the center of parodies, there is only one parody that I know of that I found in Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Special Edition two disc set. This so called parody might actually just be a self parody from the creators. What am I talking about? Look in the title. The parody is completely done in Legos. Might have taken only a day to create because it's a two minute lego video.In this short video, characters made of legos sing the song "Camelot". Of course, it's done in Legos. The title wouldn't lie, would it? It's from a big motion picture studio! Anyways, I thought this was pretty interesting. It wasn't very amusing. It wasn't very entertaining, either. I didn't really care for this video. The reason for it's rather large or high score on IMDb is for the reason of it's cleverness. It's just really clever to do something that stupid but unusually good.Although, you may find this all over the Internet, mostly for it's short length and the technology of DVD ripping, you can do any way to watch this video. But, I wouldn't recommend it. It's just a really pointless video to watch.

This is a simple but fun Lego rendition of Monty Python. It's very funny throughout, with all the original footage (albeit the dead parrot scene) from the film in Lego. Seeing the Pythons as minifig Knights complete with plastic shields and helmets was hilarious, especially with the fixed expressions on their little yellow faces! All the original voice work and singing from the movie is there as well, with nothing edited. It's a shame Lego hasn't made more of these funny little film parodies, as they are of very high quality and it seems no expense has been spared. How about a Lego Lord of the Rings, or a Lego Shawshank Redemption? Here's hoping!

Every time I watch this, it still makes me laugh and grin. The Lego figures are very similar to their real film counterparts, and the dead parrot scene was a subtle joke, as was the 'it's only a (Lego) model'. It's just so well done and so accurate even in Lego parts to the film that it's great. The song itself is very funny and jumpy, and I love the Clark Gable line, and the 'eat ham and jam and spam a lot' line. I can find barely any faults in this whole little film. Hopefully, Lego and some other film company will someday do another great Lego styled parody to filming. Perhaps a Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter parody would be funny. Until then, we can just wish for more...

Well here is a film that was included on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD. It was made with lego and some sort of animation kit thing available from lego.com. I had seen this little video online before I saw it on the dvd but it's extra fun on the dvd I guess just because I can see it on my large TV in sharp clarity.It's a lego animation of the approach to Camelot, and the following song, and then King Arthur's final thoughts of Camelot. I made a few lego animations when I was a child with my dad's video camera and lego people, I wish I had my films recognized! Ah well, at least one lego video has made it to international dvd release. Heh heh heh. Maybe more will follow! Hurrah at the thought of that!I like it. It's pure fun.
