A very moving parable with some of the most sophisticated techniques I've ever seen in a brickfilm. The lighting and set design, in particular, are a visual feast. Well done good sirs!

The most unsettling thing is that our world stands on shoulders of people like railroad crew and engineers (in this case). But we are ignoring this, in our comfort and being unaware of whose bones cracked under the wheels.

Every part of that was absolutely amazingly done. What more can I say...

That was indeed pretty impressive. There are a lot of things that really stand out with this one, solid animation and set design as well as a pretty interesting story. Well done and keep up the good work work!

The saddest part is that son could have easily saved himself by simply lying on override, and letting the train go straight over him.

Never, ever have I cried at a LEGO short. Rare enough I cry watching movies these days for that matter. Thank you Monitogo studios for portraying that message so clearly and creatively!

"You should've seen the Argonne Forest" How's that for a history reference haha

One of the most beautiful stop motion videos I have watched ... You deserve to be watched much more. I'm looking forward to the next movie. 😊

There is a good chance this wiil be the best Brickfilm on KZfaq for a long time.

Wow I can’t believe I’m only seeing this now. This one of the best stopmotion videos I’ve ever seen. The original story is great! The voice acting was incredibly done. The builds in this are phenomenal and the lighting complements it very well. The stopmotion is so good especially on all of the smooth bricks. I’m sorry I’m only seeing this now! This deserves way more views!!

Incredible film! I'm so glad I was able to be a part of this film. Can't wait for your next film!

Couldn;t he have rolled out the way as soon as the train got over the bridge? the weight of the train would have kept it down.

Wow, that was incredible. the editing and animation was superb and the music certainly made it very emotional. RIP the son, his sacrifice saved possibly a few hundred people. Gotta feel sorry for the father, having to watch his son give his life to save a train from crashing. RIP. :(

Sheesh man. Self sacrifice is such an honorable thing to do but often people make huge sacrifices for you without you even knowing. So live your life knowing that your alive, and you can still make an impact.

How does this not have more views?! This is one of the best brickfilms I’ve ever seen, incredibly well done!

Dude I'd never thought I would get emotional over a lego movie, and over characters I just met. AND WHEN HE GRABED HIS SONS HAT AT THE END OMGGGG THIS ISNT FAIR WHY AM I CRYING-

This has to be the most sophisticated brick film I have ever seen. It actually made me tear up a little at the end! Congrats on making the best stop motion Lego film ever.

While short, every shot was totally amazing. Really good cinematography and animation, absolutely stunning work and truly one of the best Brickfilms on KZfaq!

This is by and far my favorite version of this parable.

Most people who are commenting don't even know what it's about. Which makes the line "Will they know?" Even more heart breaking. So well done

Stunning work, Truly! However: if I may, there is one thing that could’ve had a bigger impact in my opinion, take it as you will. The moment the son decides to go switching the lever in the place of his old man, doesn’t have as much impact as it could have. The “father who shouldn’t have to bury his son” is a universally strong theme and speaks to everyone on a pretty deep level. The problem is the *reason* the son takes the place of the father doesn’t feel merited enough. Let me explain. When the son says “let me go”, the father just seems to accept it, whereas I would think any loving father would fight before accepting such eventuality. You make it very clear that time is of the essence with the various countdowns mentioned, however nobody runs or rushes. I would’ve suggested the old man have more of a physical handicap (say a cane seeing as in stop motion lego it’s more difficult to animate) which makes it impossible for him to reach the lever on time. Which in turn makes the choice of letting his son go in his stead much more impactful as even if the old man wanted to run to the lever, he’s *incapable* of doing so. The son should also run to the lever instead of dramatically walk in my opinion. Such a slight modification would change the entire feeling of their relationship as seen by the spectator, and make the “choice” be the only option. All that being said, this was an incredibly moving piece and technically beautiful. Well done and I hope to see more of your work!! 🙌

A wonderful mix of the stories of Kate Shelley and Casey Jones. Heartbreaking beautiful.

A father would never have done that but the lighting and set design are impeccable

The title doesn't lie, this is truly a beautiful film. Very inspirational to watch, the lightning is impressive and the story is really fun. Loved it

I favorite scene is when he says,”you should have seen the arregone forest”

Wow. This is truly one of the best brickfilms I have ever seen. EVERYTHING is perfect. Keep up the fantastic work!

The music is beautiful and the movie went from happy to sad . This should be a full length movie

Dang man. This was truly awesome. Well worth my $2. God bless man!

That truly was the most beautiful Lego stop motion I've ever seen none have actually made me feel sad but this one has, it's amazing

This was AMAZING. Everything was great about it! Can't wait to see what you guys make next!!

. . . These are the sacrifices actual people are willing to make. Even at the cost of their own lives, if it means that they can save others, even if it's not guaranteed, if there's even a slim chance, you'd be surprised at the caring and selfless things people are willing to leave the world a better place once they're gone. This was beautifully done and I can't believe just how well done this little tragedy short film was. Thank you all so much for putting in all this passion and heart for this little online video. I know it doesn't seem like much if anything to some people but I can tell that you all put all of your love into making this. 🌟 🛤️

Wow... By far one of the most incredible lego films I've seen

Absolutely fantastic work! I loved it.

This film gets a well-deserved spot amongst my favorite Brickfilms of all time. The lighting and cinematography here is next level - nice work.

Best stopmotion ive ever seen i keep thinking about this once in a While

The set design, story and train moc are top tier. Probably the first time I felt emotional with a brick film.

So glad to be a part of this! What an excellent final result.

You deserve so much more recognition for this, I think I actually almost cried...

everything about this short film is fantastic, and as the loco and its train approaches you can feel the tension rising with every puff of smoke and steam coming out of the funnel, and if you look at the faces, you can see the dread in their faces, absolutely fantastic this short film is, that shows our dangerous working for the railways were in the early - mid 20th century. 10/10

I thought it was gonna be a full movie

I have never seen this amount of beauty and emotion conveyed with legos. Excellent work!

The most amazing thing I've ever watched. And the story was beautifully written.

Wonderful. And perfect to watch while on lockdown. Thank you so much

This is the saddest BRICKFILM I’ve ever seen, it tells a great story, both visually and through the actions of the characters. Well done

T'was a spectacular experience seeing this through from storyboard to completion. It's chilling watching the final film at long last; well done!

Amazing! This really needs more views! You (and your animators) had me so invested in a 5, almost 6 minute story. The shots were composed brilliantly and the emotion you were able to put inside me was heartbreaking. Love it!

The speed that it became serious was incredibly fast, but it worked really well, a great film

Beautiful work. The lighting, the set, everything.

This was just amazing it made my cry for ages just thinking of how that boy sacrifices his own life just to save all those people on the train. Brilliant work

Splendid job, very sad! Glad to see your work in action once again. You have a very specific type of animation that focuses a lot on the atmosphere of the story and I think it's really cool. I especially enjoyed the room with all that machine stuff because I have never seen that type of thing done so well. Keep up the good work!

You did a great job! I really like it.

This was the most quality Lego animation I’ve ever seen. It was so cinematic in nature, you forget that everything is made of lego

I am amazed! The models the stopmotion the lighting the sound everything about this is super well made. One of the best stopmotions I have ever seen! Superb work.

I love how the walk cycle of the son brings a sense of authority to him as he leaves the room. Hard to do intentionally in stop motion, let alone with Lego!

I am stunned on just the sheer talent that shows so greatly in this amazing stop motion!!!

I’m so amazed how this movie came out. It’s so beautiful

This was a really well put together stop motion. Great lighting, scored well for a lego stop motion. Solid story and the camera angles were well done. It was so smooth

I kid you not I cried!😭😭😭 Thank you so much Monitogo studios!

I had been looking for a smooth animation for a while when I saw this one. Very beautifully made! The music and the sounds fit the bill. The techniques used in this are also very beautiful!

This is such a rare gem, for a brickfilm. I have never seen such amazing storytelling and emotion on a brickfilm before.

Wow, I just finished watching it. I have no words. This is mindblowing. Everything was really well done in this movie. The set desings are incredible and the story is... huh... really sad. I think it is the saddest Lego film I've seen. The animation is really smooth and the lighting is so well done. What an awesome movie. The editing was incredible as well. The face and the voices was perfect. It is really one of the best Lego film on KZfaq. I can't wait to see more from you. You are an amazing animator. Keep up the good work! Have an awesome day. Happy Easter! 🐣

Holy shit was that beautiful... that’s, all I can say.

This is beautiful! So many frames per second, a good story, and facial movements!

Hopefully this gets in everyone recomendation. Amazing work

Can you post a behind the scenes video?

What the heck. This is insane. Beautiful. Amazing. Awesome. Incredible. Talented. I love this, I don’t even want to know how long this took you, but it’s insane. The backgrounds alone must’ve taken FOREVER, let alone getting the lighting, camera angles, an everything else. Amazing and splendid work!! Edit: It’s so sad! Even though it was short, it actually made me tear up

THis movie was mindblowing ! The lightning the sets and the animation are just perfect !

Always wanted to see how professionals take on larger scale stop-motion with steam engines, brilliant work!

I have one question How long did this take This was a masterpiece

Every single shot is like it’s own painted masterpiece. Might just be the most technically sound brick film I’ve ever seen.

This will be a brickfilm classic for me. This is truly a work of art. Thank you Monitogo Studios for giving me a shot! im super proud of how this turned out! Cant wait to see what come next!

This is really similar to a live action short film I saw a while back, anyone remember it's title?

This is a beautiful allegory of what Christ did for us. Thank you for making this, it is truly an amazing brickfilm

This is one of the best Lego Films i ever seen in years!

Wow!!! The scenery, the background, the animation and everything is so amazing!!!

A perfect representation of God and Jesus. The son, willingly going to the cross to die for our sins. The father having to let Him, knowing it would make a way for you and me. He did it for the chance that we would accept His free gift of grace. Yet people, like on the train, may never acknowledge the sacrifice he made. Thank you Jesus.

that was absolutely insane. You have definitely earned a subscription here, because recommended brickfilms like this are an absolute blessing. It always makes me sad to see the low subscriber amounts in such talented channels like yours

I have watched this 5 times now, I can´t stop thinking of this video, this masterpiece, job well done, the emotions feels real, I want to cry everytime I watch this, you are amazing, thank you for making this, we need more creators like you, much love from Denmark.

“Get of my train” Bad Cop

This truly is a beautiful lego film the graphics are unbeatable, I can't imagine how much time and energy you put into this

Woow this animation is one of the best I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!! Voice acting, lightning, and special effects are absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best brickfilm ever made!

This was such high quality that I was not expecting! I appreciate the effort that went into this!!

This was terrific! it was intense in many ways and was very smooth and neat with the animation ad well. great work to all who worked on it

What a masterpiece. It leaves you as an emotional train wreck and the lighting is some of the best I've ever seen.

Why did I tear up over a 5min brick film? Just goes to show how amazing this is, and a true inspiration for myself. This deserves an award, seriously!!!!!

Beautiful brickfilm. Incredible on so many levels. It will definitely be a brickfilm of the month for May.

This deserves to be just as popular as your first film!

when they say lego films cant be cinematic master pieces show them this. Loved it!! great story and beautiful visuals

Those five minutes were worth waiting for. Thank you for this amazing and beautiful story of a very real life counterpart. Excellent quality as always.

That was actually extremely well made and even emotional. Great work!
