Showed this to my Grandson and told him that THIS is the way to play ... three hours later after a trip to the toy store, we're out building fortresses for the battle that will soon commence. Thanks for bringing back some memories to this old dog.

I never imagined those M16 rifles fired that fast and with a “pop-pop” sound, nor the muzzle flashes. Because I didn’t know. They didn’t sound like that in the movies on TV in the 70s. The green guys always won, though. 🙂

Better than anything hollywood has put out in the last five years.

The old Marx 54MM plastic soldiers of all eras of History will always be the best molded. Marx Playsets were awesome. I had most of them as a kid and my favorite were the Marx Civil War sets. Loved The Blue And The Grey. All original are vintage now, hard to find and valuable. I must have gotten 5 Marx Fort Apache Playsets.

In the history books, this was known as "Operation Litterbox" . Great job with the animation. Keep making them!

What is not generally known is that after practically wiping each other out in battle, survivors of the two opposing armies had to sign a truce and join forces to battle the invasion of giant hand-grenade sized ants, the beginnings of which can be briefly spotted in a scene.

I wouldn’t take a chance to come back now as a kid versus growing up in 70’s-80’s. We actually needed imagination to grow up back then! These army men gave us hours of fun! And the lady finger firecrackers we went thru! Geez! You know, young, under 9, playing with a lighter and firecrackers! Ohh the memories! I think we were definitely smarter, and safer!

Este hombre hizo todo lo que yo quería hacer de pequeño qué hermoso es recordar mi infancia

A GLORIOUS CAMPAIGN! They gave their limbs and lives so my toys wouldn't have to. An animated parade should be just compensation.

I'm thankful for my GI Joes and the hundreds of Army soldiers that provided so many hours of fun as a children Florida. One note: Some of the soldiers that were firing submachine guns actually looked like the soldiers that were carrying flame throwers.

What many dont know is that this dispute happened at a diplomatic dinner. They were meeting to discuss trade between the 2 cultures but had an argument on how the one nation’s name was spelt. Is it Gray or Grey? So many lives lost over a simple vowel.

First timer. . Amazingly realistic. I did get a bit confused with some parts of the battle. My heart goes out to the families of the dead. Such a waste of plastic. War is hell. Reminds me of my time in NAM with the 3rd marines. Great job . Keep up the good work.

Very nicely done, beautiful animations...and fantastic binoculars!

After an explosion, I was hoping to hear a voice say "My leg!". You know, a good SpongeBob reference. War is hell...

It's silly but absolutely brilliant. Love it.

That's about how my Plastic Army men moved. Great memories.

Well done! ...I can remember playing with army men when I was a kid in the 50's!..I always thought it would be fun to make a movie like yours, but could never afford a movie camera...Finally got a camera when I was in college and a buddy and I made a similar movie with plastic cowboys and indians ...it took forever! ...Now it's easy...You can even video with a cell phone! ....Keep up the good work!....I know Spielberg got his start doing the same kind of stuff! ...Just sayin'!

This is a Master Class in cinema, equal to Saving Private Ryan.

Years ago I used to make 10 minute stop motion shorts. Back then it was done on video tape and took forever to finish a 10-minute film. I've watched several of your short films and they are good enough for animated short film awards. 🎥

The classic battle between green vs grey armies (American vs German). Excellent production!

Absolutely fantastic, I was taken back 70 years to when I played with my green soldiers I the back garden. Very happy memories. I still play with a new generation of toy soldiers 1:18 scale. Thank you for posting this excellent video. 8:03

Memories of days like this is what made Army Men one of my favorite video games. Thanks from me.

I had army men as a kid, with tanks, howitzers and trucks too. Hours of fun especially outside in my moms garden. I had a bottle of red ink for blood and using toilet tissue as bandages would replicate various blood oozing wounds too. 😃

Cool idea, but green vs grey? Nearly all of them looked green to me, hard to tell which side was which. Impressive stop motion regardless.

Oscar goes to the fifth green soldier entering from right. Applauds, well done.

Awesome battle. Brings back memories as a 12 yo kid with green army men and a BB gun.

I’d be lying if I said it’s been years since I’ve played with my army men. 😂 But this!! This is how I imagined it EVERY time. Boss!!!

Still a better love story than Twilight.

That was so awesome! My little brother and I used to play for hours with these when we were kids. We incorporated small fireworks, smoke bombs, and lots of firecrackers and blow up all sorts of model tanks and plans! Thank you for this movie!

Remember those hours-long setups ? ... Half a day setting up, and about a 10 min battle, and it was all over.

Sixty years ago, I had buckets of the little plastic soldiers. For 69 cents I could get a bag of 100. I could spend all day building battlefields, and never touch an electronic device. 😂

There's a spy amongst the green! A grey flamethrower dude!

I was apart of this war when i was 5 back in the 80s... the horror....the horror.. I miss being a kid in the 80s

I can't be the one that misses Army Men: Sarges Heros.

Great job. I do like how the flame throwers were used as machine gunners.

I liked how the lookout with the binoculars turned around to get a serious close up look at the other soldier.

I love how the machine gunner has spent shells raining down. Nice detail.

These are the kinds of battles I would do with my Legos back in the early 2000s and 2010s even now my imagination never left me I still have fun making random battles even though I'm in my 20s

It's sad that they have to fight and die, deep down they're all plastic, good plastic men thru and thru.

So much time and effort. Really cool!

The best is the flamethrower men firing bullets... LOL....

The guys with flamethrowers acting like machine guns wad funny.

Sarge, behind you! Look at the size of that ant!

I felt like predator was about to start taking soldiers out one by one , that background music lol

Nice work and entertaining. This reminds me of my plastic army men days where I set up battles. During the winter I set up the army in the snow bank. Because of the cold temps the BB gun I used would remove various limbs and heads. Before the BB gun days was the sling shot with 3/4 " stones from the driveway.

It was 1977 or 78 and I was 10 years old, I got a big box called "Battleground" best Christmas ever.

This brings me back to my kid days. My brothers and I had our private armies and will fight it out for hours. The good old days were imagination ruled.

Wonderful. Happy Days Memories.

Great video- love the close up of the army men in the back of the lorry-a great looking touch ❤🤩🤩

We used to play in an alluvial area, near a small stream. The higher banks were sandy clay and were great for digging tunnels and building forts. Usually we threw dirt clods at each other's forts. But sometimes we had firecrackers!

Using the firecracker was a great decision for explosions! I just taken back in time watching this to my childhood!

There was always a battle on the 4th of July , I lost ALOT of little men, love these animated videos

Some historical inaccuricies... The use of tactical hoverboards, bazookas against infantry, flame throwers that shoot bullets and, yes, mice-sized ants. Otherwise, a compelling watch!

I love the smell of burning plastic in the morning. Smells like...victory.

Awesome video! Please keep making them. Really like the small arms and automatic weapons soundtrack. Definitely gets you a like and a subscribe. This is from one who knows what he is talking about, I am a former US Army (1973-1980) helicopter pilot. Just let me know when you wanna call in the airstrike. Callsign is "stingray one-zero".👍🚁

Thank you for the video. It was a real pleasure to watch.I remember playing with these guys when I was a kid. I'm 71 now.

I will always stand, kneel or lay prone with the Greens. I have since I was a little boy in the 60's.

Reminds me of the Army Men computer games from the 90s. They took playing with army men to the next level without the need to clean up afterwards.

i remember playing with these when i was young, such good memories but now im 17 xD

Me and my friends spent many summer days fighting battles with our Army men. We always threw rocks at each others soldiers. ☺

I thought I was having a bad day…and then I watched this video lol. Absolutely outstanding

Cool that they modified their flamethrowers to fire rifle rounds.

Wow. They even sound like real trucks.

Not a single female has watched this masterpiece

Well that was an epic battle in which the green army was victorious. The history of plastic army figures will remember the fallen plastic soldiers 🫡

Absolutely great movie! What a comeback by the Green Army! They took a tremendous amount of casualties in the beginning, but ultimately overcame and completed their objective. GO GREEN ARMY! ❤ IT!

A Guns of Navarone battle would be epic.

This brought back so much nostalgia for me. I don't remember things before 16, I probably do not want to, but I don't. It was like a light in the corner of a room you hardly ever use anymore. As it fills with dust, a small lamp in the dim room playing a small scene from a lost time. Sadly, I also remembered when the light went out, and the room was walled off. Thank you for this video, I appreciate it. Truely it is under-rated. 😅 👍

Man, what a glorious battle.
