Lego Battle for the Bismarck | stopmotion + cgi
Ойын-сауық
On May 26, 1941, Bismarck, the German battleship, was heading towards France for repairs, after she sustained minor damage during the Battle of the Denmark Strait; the battle in which Bismarck, with the help of the battleship Prinz Eugen, sank the British battlecruiser, HMS Hood.
The British had been tailing Bismarck for the following two days, and on the night of May 26, began their attack.
A group of torpedo planes were sent to strike Bismarck, and although, when released, most of the torpedoes missed the ship entirely, one managed to hit Bismarck's stern and disable her rudder, preventing the battleship from continuing on her course.
British ships began closing in on Bismarck, who was now incapable of outmaneuvering them.
The following morning, the British began their final assault by firing hundreds of shells into the Bismarck, who, tried to retaliate, but due to her broken rudder, was unable to maintain a steady course, which prevented her guns from firing accurately at the enemy ships.
Soon, the relentless shelling began to seriously damage the battleship, and she began taking on water.
With the fate of Bismarck now certain, the commanding officer gave the order to abandon ship; the crew then primed scuttling charges and jumped overboard.
Shortly thereafter, Bismarck sank beneath the Atlantic waves, taking the vast majority of her crew down with her.

Cool Fact of the Day: Yes, the bombardier of the last Swordfish to make an attack run on Bismarck did lean over and hang upside down from the side of his plane to guide the pilot and aim the torpedo in to its target. It was that last torpedo that made the one-in-a-million Achilles heel hit on Bismarck's rudders (as Bismarck had previously made a one-in-a-million lucky hit on Hood's aft magazines), destroying one of them and wrapping the other around her center screw, making sea repairs for her steering impossible and sealing her fate.

Where have you read that? I have watched a documentary with interviews with the pilots. It was the last torpedo, yes, but it hit midship. Also the leaning doesn't make sense. The best person in position to aim the torpedo is the pilot. According to the documentary, the last pilot was partially able to hit her because the AA gunners overlooked him. He was last and flew quite low

This was pretty cool. Of course through most of the battle, they were no longer dropping shells down on him. They were close enough that the rounds were traveling a straight trajectory, penetrating, and traveling through the superstructure, or skipping off the water, and into his sides. After the sinking of the Hood, every British ship there was merciless.

*Historically Accurate* Although Bismarck had been damaged in the engagement with Hood and forced to reduce speed, she was still capable of reaching 27 to 28 knots (50 to 52 km/h; 31 to 32 mph), the maximum speed of Tovey's King George V. Unless Bismarck could be slowed, the British would be unable to prevent her from reaching Saint-Nazaire. Shortly before 16:00 on 25 May, Tovey detached the aircraft carrier Victorious and four light cruisers to shape a course that would position her to launch her torpedo bombers. At 22:00, Victorious launched the strike, which comprised six Fairey Fulmar fighters and nine Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers of 825 Naval Air Squadron, led by Lt Cdr Eugene Esmonde. The inexperienced aviators nearly attacked Norfolk and the U.S. Coast Guard cutter USCGC Modoc on their approach; the confusion alerted Bismarck's anti-aircraft gunners. Bismarck also used her main and secondary batteries to fire at maximum depression to create giant splashes in the paths of the incoming torpedo bombers. None of the attacking aircraft were shot down. Bismarck evaded eight of the torpedoes launched at her, but the ninth, combined with fuel losses and increasing bow trim, forced the ship to slow to 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph). Divers repaired the collision mats in the bow, after which speed increased to 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph), the speed that the command staff determined was the most economical for the voyage to occupied France. With the port rudder jammed, Bismarck was now steaming in a large circle, unable to escape from Tovey's forces. Though fuel shortages had reduced the number of ships available to the British, the battleships King George V and Rodney were still available, along with the heavy cruisers Dorsetshire and Norfolk. The ships encountered Bismarck at 22:38; the battleships quickly engaged one to the other with the main batteries, Bismarck dealing light damage to the British pursuers and the British guns dealing massive damage that rendered the Bismarck beyond no hope, and taking about some 3,500 lives with her to the bottom of the Atlantic. *And thus, marks the end of the terror of the seas, the pride of the Kriegsmarine*

I love as well that you portrayed German scuttling of the ship, as it was highly likely that that contributed a lot to the ships rapid sinking just as much as fire from the British ships.

Just a small correction, but Dorsetshire, though she fired the final torpedoes at Bismarck, did not infact sink the Bismarck as she was scuttled by her crew to prevent the Brits from taking anything of value, in addition to this, it’s unlikely that Dorsetshire’s torpedoes would have done anything against the Bismarck because her torpedo protection was just so good, if you don’t count the 1-in-a-million rudder hit of course. Not that it would have mattered in the slightest since by that point she was already a hole-ridden burning wreck of a ship that would probably succumb to the battle damage anyway, and if not, I doubt she’d be used ever again due to said damage and a…certain event that would take place a year or so later at a certain French port town.

Bismarck gunners were probably good shots, the problem was that the Fairey Swordfish Torpedo bombers (Those biplanes you saw) had a wood-and-canvas structure. automatic AA shells just flew through the canvas and punched holes without doing any real damage, 40mm shells (or whatever caliber the germans used) had explosive fillings but the canvas was too soft for the fuses to be triggered, and of course the geysers made by the 12.7cm guns weren't effective, so all swordfish made it back.
This is automatically one of my favorite stop-motions I have ever seen
Videos like this shows there is no limit to what you can do with Lego
Wow, this was a very unique combination of practical and cgi. A new bar has been set in military history stopmotions!
The water effects are really stunning for a lego animation. The ships and planes mocs are fantastic. The animation is brilliant. Totally worth the waiting
This gave me chills, the sounds and music is just amazing!
This is crazy good, absolutely mind-blowing. Outstanding job!
@3:13 Thank you for including that detail of the bombardier sitting up and watching the water to advise John ‘Jock’ Moffat when to loose the torpedo. When I first learned about it from Dogfights the way Jock Moffat told it was hilarious and awesome
This is so incredibly well done love the ship and the planes well deigned. I like the affect of the water flooding the hull of the bismark to. Props to you JD Brick

I did _not_ expect the professional level of quality. Very well done.
Incredible animation! Love the small details like at 4:40
This is by far the best Lego stop Mouton animation I've ever seen. The frame rate shows me this took a LONG time to make, and the detailing is utterly incredible.

These stop motions are actually digitally created, there's likely no physical lego in this. Doesn't mean it wouldn't still be taking a long time to make though mind.

@@literallya442ndclonetroope5 not all animated lego looks fake. I've seen lego animations that you would swear was real but wasn't. Also, "stop motion" can include digital stop motion. Given the extent of motion, framerate, and detail in these clips there is a 0% chance this is real lego.

@@kirotheavenger60 I’m pretty sure if it was digital stop motion, it would say so. If that’s not the case, than putting “Stop motion + CGI” has many interpretations to what it specifically means.
Wow, just... Wow. I was so engaged in the whole thing from start to finish! Well done man!
what a random and amazing piece to stumble upon, i have loved the story of the bismarck since i was 8!
The attention to detail in this is just astounding. The effects on the planes were especially awesome - you have no idea how delighted I was to see the flaps actually move! Also, the animation is beautifully-done, the builds themselves are stunning, the historical accuracy was delightful, and that water was literally so satisfying to look at. Literally the coolest thing I’ve watched all week

Unless the Swordfish has some funky setup with its control surfaces, they shouldn't move that way. Control surfaces on the ends of the wings are called ailerons, and generally only provide roll control, while the horizontal tail surfaces, or elevator, provides pitch authority. The animation shows ailerons and the elevator being used to both roll and pitch the aircraft. Also flaps are large control surfaces on the inner trailing edge of the wing that are used to increase lift and drag, and typically only tilt downwards and remain symmetrical on either side. I don't think the Swordfish would even have flaps, as many biplanes tend not to have them.

Wow this brings back so many memories. It's almost like it was yesterday...
Man, this animation is really great but also very historically accurate! reports were said that the Bismarck even used there second battery guns against the first Swordfish attack, but none of them were shot down.

Wow! My great-grandpa was a cannoneer on the hms Nabob, the Canadian aircraft carrier that launched the planes that eventually sunk the Bismarck. Though the ship received a torpedo, it was able to limp back to Scapa Flow and evade U-boats.

No disrespect meant sir but the aircraft carrier that sunk the Bismark was HMS "Ark Royal". The Nabob Participated in sinking the Bismarks sister ship Tirpitz. Awesome story however!

While watching this, I genuinely got this feeling of marvel that one might feel when seeing such machinery in real life. I thought "Wow, humans have made such imposing, colosssal ships and weaponry". I knew it was lego, but it felt real. Like seeing something that just gives you the impression of might. Of... grandness.

That was very good, nice animation, and Bismark, Rodney and KGV as well as the Swordfish aircraft all looked pretty accurate.
Easily the best stop motion I’ve ever seen in my life, it’s just astonishingly stunning how amazing it is. 🤯
I just found this channel and I am absolutely blown away with the level of detail you are able to put into all these videos, you seriously have a gift
Cool!! I remember my book about this, and how Ballard found the remains in the 90's. Thank you for making this! Did a great job.
Great job! My favorite expressions are main gun shell loading and flooding. Of course, everything else is unbelievable, but I think this expression is especially wonderful.
This looks great! The look of the cgi water wasn't overdone and it's use was very creative. Amazing job! 👍
For real thought the Star Wars music was gonna kick in here at 3:42
If this guy can direct a sinking of the bismark with such quality, he can certainly do a sinking of the RMS titanic! Nice animation btw
This was phenomenal. THe attention to detail, even demonstrating how the projectiles were loaded into the large guns, followed by the gun powder, spot on and brilliant. (My ex was on the Missouri and I saw a demo on how the 16” guns were loaded). Awesome man.
As a lego fan I always am so excited to see what awesome lego builds he implements into the movie it’s always so cool and the quality man improves every time love your work.
Amazing what some imagination can achieve. Obviously to re-enact the entire battle with all units would be a major undertaking but this is beautifully researched and accurate as well as photographed. It does include the setting of scuttling charges although of course Dorsetshire's torpedo attack is not included and the sinking is a described. The human minutiae of steering, loading the guns and firing and going to Action Stations are outstanding.So well done.
What a fantastic piece of film making, your little mini movies are brilliant. Keep up the good work!
I got a chill down my spine from watching a Lego animation. Well done.
The Stop Motion is so good and was definitely worth the wait. this is like professional the animation is stunningly smooth the camera shaking and moving is perfect the editing blends really well with the real elements like at 5:00 and also I’ve never heard of this battle but the way this was made told a story and now I understand it through Stop Motion, i’m a stop motion animator myself and I consider myself to be quite good but you, man you’re incredible, my only complaint is that you’re making me look bad
