Monty Python & 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.

Let's be realistic.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

"Monty Python & the Holy Grail in Lego" is a brief animated short film from 2001 long before the recent rise in popularity of Lego animation, so you could say that directors Drage and Mines were ahead of their time, even if they never managed to make it big in the last 15 years and this is still a contender for their most known career effort. Apart from the fact that this film here runs for 90 seconds only, slightly over to be exact, and that I think it is really impossible to fit the full feature it parodies into this minimal runtime, I also have some personal issues with it. I have never been big on Lego animation style or Monty Python, so my personal bias may have a bit to do with how I rate this and actually taking that into account, the rating is maybe even higher than expected as I stated in the title of my review too. If you like Monty Python and Lego animation more than I do, then maybe you will quite enjoy this one. Like Terry Gilliam apparently did. As with the real M.P. stuff, there is lots of singing here too. So yeah, I'd only recommend it to those who really love The Holy Grail, the film this spoofs. If you don't, then skip it.

I fully recommend this to everyone who is a python fan. This is the best! I especially love the tribute to the Dead Parrot Sketch. This is a very wonderful piece of art work done by some true Python fans. Not much more can be said except that all Python fans should see this. Not sure what else to say about this except...... GO and view this.... it is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best tribute movie I have ever seen. I hope that these guys could do the whole movie this way, given more dimension to the whole movie. This asks for 10 lines... two more to go about this movie. This is just a must see for any and all Python fans.

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...

A remarkable homage/parody of the "Camelot" song and dance from the "Holy Grail" motion picture. Essentially, the scene is totally redone with LEGO figures and blocks, but is true to the movie--which is why it is so hilarious. I look forward to a LEGO CASABLANCA, or a LEGO parting of the Red Sea from TEN COMMANDMENTS!
