The Magic Portal

This is the first Lego animation or "Brickfilm" as some people would call it, ever made, by a genius named "Lindsay Fleay".
It was created in Perth, Western Australia between the years of 1985 and 1989!
I talked to Lindsay and he gave me permission to upload this to my Youtube channel.
Normally I wouldn't upload someone else's work, but I had to spread the word on this classic.

Here's the blurb from Lindsay's website: http://www.rakrent.com/

"The Magic Portal is a short stop motion film that uses LEGO®, plasticene, cardboard and pixellated live action, made between the years of 1985 and 1989 on good ol' fashioned 16mm film. The story concerns the strange fate of a LEGO astronaut called L, who discovers the Magic Portal on board his giant spaceship. The Portal takes him to a strange and surreal LEGO world where he has a close encounter with a Monster and barely escapes with his life. His report to Captain Paranoia only gets him to trouble and his friend and shipmate P, doesn't believe him. However, the Portal has a mind of its own, and reappears to upset the cosy world of the giant spaceship and its crew to reveal weirder worlds more peculiar than the last..."

Welp, turns out that this actually isn't the first brickfilm ever made, this LEGO stop-motion animation came over ten years earlier, in 1973: watch?v=SW583kCiOWo Still, could this be the first brickfilm with minifigures and proper characters and such? Awesome either way.
