A Golden Week - BOTW #9

Hello, everyone! Here it is - sorry for the long wait. BOTW 8 is coming out with this, so you should have two blog posts to read rather than one. Right, on to the judging!
3.Introducing LEGO Mr. Gold! - brickshowtv/MonsieurCaron. The reason I've put a slash through this film's creator is it was uploaded on brickshowtv's channel, but was created by MonsieurCaron. It is a good animation, and has a creative use of the Lego figure Mr. Gold, but the plot line could have done with a few more twists and turns. But generally, I found this a good animation, funny, good set design and a great use of every single Series 10 Minifigure!

2.Evil Mr. Gold - MonsieurCaron. I know what you're thinking. What? Another Mr. Gold Brickfilm? Made by the same guy?? I am also thinking that too. MonsieurCaron had it lent to him by his friend, and made the two videos that are shown here. This is slightly better animation than Introducing Mr. Gold, and has a more interesting plot line, because there's a twist (which I'm not going to tell you about), and the humour is good. I also like that Mr. Gold is a gangster, but the only thing I would down-grade it on is the voice-acting. I don't know what kind of accent Mr Gold was supposed to have - was it Scottish or American gangster?  Well, nobody's perfect!

1.The Good Old Days (2013) - Loic F-B. This is the second BOTW that Loic F-B has placed on top of,  the last being BOTW 7, and this is a deserved winner. It's the only video this week that didn't really go for the comedic option, but went for the more meaningful.  Not many brickfilmers would address the issue of nostalgia in older people! It's a re-edit from the old version that was made back in 2012, and it has his current logo. It may not be much different, but it was still nice to see it again, (stop me if I'm getting nostalgic)  and I sometimes hear myself saying 'I remember the good old days...' in the style of an old man, which often turns heads. I really like this film, and I think it may be one of my all-time favourites.

Biggest ReBrick Sculpture EVER! BOTW #6

Guys, I'm really sorry that I kept you waiting last week. There weren't enough films last week, nor this one either, SO I DECIDED TO COMBINE THEM! Wow. Aren't I such a blimming genius. Let's get on to the voting.
3.End Bob - TheFuntasticFilms. This was a video to make a point about the fact that the stupid character in many films is called Bob. It's not a bad film. It's very short, but I like the voice acting and the joke. One problem: this was released on the 1st of May, but the Funtastic crew promised to upload THREE videos last month, and only uploaded two. So I expect a film to come out later in the month!
2.PIRATE FISH (ReBrick Film Competition) - Kooberz. This one was definitely one of the grandest sculptures made for the ReBrick film competition. Kooberz is a professional animator, so he has A LOT of Lego - as we see in The Lego Wii U, so I wasn't surprised when he produced this grand sculpture. Also, Kooberz has 20,000 patient subscribers who wait for his new, high quality animation to come out. The only trouble I have with this video is that the Pirate Fish emerges from the ship, they aren't really made from the same parts, which they should be according to ReBrick rules.  But that is just me being picky (again).
1.The Dino-Bus - a ReBrick LEGO Movie contest entry from MonsieurCaron - MonsieurCaron. M. Caron has produced yet another high quality animation. The thing with this ReBrick entry is that I love both the first bus and the Dino one (but isn't it a giraffe?) I also like the background design and the fact the bus driver goes dizzy when it's taken apart. This is the only entry I've seen which has an intro, middle and outro, and because of this more structured storyline, this has won BOTW #6.
