moschino Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Here is the official stop motion movie created by Lego Group in 1989 in order to advertise on VHS and not only. The movie was dedicated to UK, Europe, so the names of ships and characters are different than in US. Enjoy! Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Very nice! Good find! [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] Quote
Grimmbeard Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Wow, I'm surprised I've never seen this before. Thanks! Quote
Big Cam Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Such a gem. Old school LEGO advertising sure brings me back. Quote
Capt. Redblade Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 What? No, I'm not crying, I just have something in my eye is all. Whenever I see something like this, it makes me lament missing out on those simpler days of LEGO. I try to compensate by Bricklinking the Classic Pirates sets, but it's not the same. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 31, 2012 Governor Posted October 31, 2012 I was completely charmed by this video with its music from pre-60's pirate movies. Its now a nostalgia film of nostalgia films. Does anybody know where it was originally broadcast? Quote
CA Magon Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Very nice ! Old school pirates are the best ! Thank you very much ! Quote
Brig. Brick Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 it a gem! oh the nostalgia! thanks for sharing! Quote
Hive Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Fun little find, much better than today's commercials. It particularly fascinates me that the pirates were actually sort of made out to be the "good" guys. Quote
Capt. Redblade Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Fun little find, much better than today's commercials. It particularly fascinates me that the pirates were actually sort of made out to be the "good" guys. Well, of course they were! Don't tell me you thought the Imperials were the good guys! Quote
-obelix- Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Great share! This brings back some nice memories... Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 8, 2013 Governor Posted January 8, 2013 Fun little find, much better than today's commercials. It particularly fascinates me that the pirates were actually sort of made out to be the "good" guys. Of course those who commit crime at sea are the "good" guys! Quote
Grimmbeard Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Of course those who commit crime at sea are the "good" guys! I always had the soldiers be the good guys. The earlier commercials showed this. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 8, 2013 Governor Posted January 8, 2013 Technically the video here is about as early as you'll get, but is it actually a commercial or a promtional video? It seems too long to be a TV commercial. if I'm not mistaken, the below was the first LEGO pirates commercial broadcast and the above animation was sometimes attached to it. http://youtu.be/E1GG82Koclw Quote
Grimmbeard Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 So much nostalgia Yes you don't see these types of commercials anymore... Quote
kelceycoe Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Old topic but how would you assemble this bell? My guess is a black, one round stud attached to the yellow cone so it sticks into the arch but flexible enough to ring. Would that work? Quote
jamesster Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 By the way, here's an alternate version of this stopmotion without dialogue, in this 1989 shopvideo - I'm guessing so it could be shown in various other countries speaking different languages: Quote
