This is absolutely wonderful! We used to listen to Flanders and Swann on car journeys when I was little so the mixture of this song and lego really takes me back. Thank you!
I've been a fan of Flanders and Swann for almost fifty years and one of my great regrets is that I never saw them perform. I was very pleased when CDs of their songs became available. What a great animation this is! I really enjoyed it. Many thanks.
I still love this and you can show it to kids as its got Lego in it! so they watch as the Lego men come alive. great song and excellent animation i wish i had the patience to do it myself
Flanders and Swann were a superb act and if they were around today they would certainly still be immensely popular. This is one of my favourite songs of theirs and it's great to see a Lego animation of it. More please!
This has always been my favourite comedy song from Flanders & Swann, I even have it on CD in the car. The film does it justice, great work, THANK YOU for posting and making me laugh out loud.
Clever little animation and funny too. I love the way the home owner bangs his head against the wall on the Friday!. Messrs Flanders & Swann would have chuckled at this. Well done.
This Song has been a favorite ever since i was introduced to it as a Four Year Old (beleve it or not) on Cassete Tape in about 1993 & since then it was played by me & my Siblings so many times that the tape inside repeatitly Snaped, I still have it but it's too Fragile to play safley anymore :( ,
The combanation of Flanders & Swann & Lego is Fantastic and a fitting tribute to the Greatest Satire Duo is History.
I am a teacher of English for Theatre Purposes in central Europe, and have nothing but gratitude for this remarkable feat of illustration. You've brought to life in a different way a comic song to wonderful effect, and in his mastery of the wheelchair as a prop, what else did Michael himself do? My heartfelt appreciation.
Really good. I grew up listening to these songs as my parents had the LP's. Another favourite was the london omnibus song ' If you are lost in London.....Hold very tight please ding ding'
I'm not sure what the gas tap was - it came in a mixed box of lego. The paint effect is just that - a dollop of Dulux white gloss applied with a matchstick! Rick
Well done, I can remember seeing them in concert in London when I was a lad. I nearly pee'd me pants then and it's just as funny now, many thanks for the hard work
This is sooo good, Very good, very english,and very Mr Been,Tommy Cooper, and all the best from england, this must have taken eages to make, love the song, so funny, even in this day and age.......
I'm glad you enjoyed my little animation. I loved Flanders & Swann as a kid but had no idea how much they meant to so many people. (Thanks to all for your kind comments). Rick.
Thank you for "bringing to life" a wonderfully communal experience of difficulty, treated with humour by Michael and Donald, and perfectly reflected in your version.
This was amazing!! I will be honest when I say I normally hate people on youtube doing things with toys. Just look at Doctor Who on you tube and you will soon get sick to death of them. But yours was clever, really fitted well, and splendidly animated. The repition aspects were also very good, fitting with the never-ending-saga that the song represented. It really looked a bit like the kids tv i used to remember. Very clever indeed. Can I ask what program you used to edit the animation?
I use Stop Motion Pro with a very basic webcam to capture the images and then Windows Movie Maker to edit them together and add the sound. Slow work but great fun.
on the windows movie maker, when you used the newspaper...i dunno whther you know or not, but you can get the next clip in the picture space on the paper, if you just put that title over the clip?!?!?. just a little tip,,, then it wouldnt be a blank blue screen that came up.
however i realise that that could have meesed up the timing of everything!!...was pretty good as it is!! :) well done
Very good
