Lego World War 2: Second Sino-Japanese War (2017)

Share Collapse

A Lego brickfilm stop-motion about the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), a military conflict that happened before and during World War 2 between the republic of China and the Empire of Japan. It all began with the invasion of Manchuria, but the Marco Polo Bridge incident started it all.

This war is kinda overshadowed by World War 2, while World War 2 didn't start until 1939 (excluding the German annexations).
I did this piece for a massive project for school and to date it's one of the most expensive Brickfilms this channel ever produced. (Brickfilms about historical wars are almost always expensive I think)

This is also the brickfilm with the most languages I made so far. (Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese and English)

IMPORTANT
Please don't go all political and shouting propaganda or hate speech in the comment section. I just want people having fun watching Lego minifigs killing each other off. Also don't go all history smartass here regarding the weapons and gear I used in this brickfilm. Comments that is deemed as offensive for any groups (Chinese and Japanese alike) will be removed!

So don't place hate comments on this video.

Please leave a like, subscribe and comment.

Some other notes
-The Chinese soldiers wear the M35 helmets as part of the Sino-German cooperation until 1941, they also used the Chiang-Kai Shek rifles based on the Kar98 and other weapons of other countries.
-The uniforms of the Chinese varies, they wore blue, green and kaki.
-The Chinese also wore British brodie helmets.

-Several shots didn't made the final cut, some of them made it into the final product, but only parts of it. For example the battle of Nanking was supposed to be more grusome than in the final product and the Battle Of Hong Kong is supposed to be extended. But there were more shots that didn't made it.

You always put so much work and care into your brickfilms. Your attention to detail is admirable, your animation is fantastic, and the way you build suspense in your scenes is something to aspire to. My favorite part is the long, intense silence before the fight at 7:13, but your battle scenes are also very well composed and coordinated, and the terrific sound design makes you feel like you're actually watching a war and not animated LEGO figures. (Also the end credits are wonderfully designed.)

Aside from the technical prowess, this brickfilm is also very educational and has an important, historical subject, shining light on a war that I think not many are familiar with.

Personally, however, I think the story would've been better communicated through one or two main characters, but that's just my opinion. The film worked well as is, and this doesn't take away from it. Well done!
