This is my third "proper" Brickfilm.  Bob and Joe are just taking a walk when they come across a windmill.  Will they come out unscathed?

Staff Review

david reino :
A very enjoyable little film that achieves a unique, cartoony feel through a blend of old-time silent movie style music and stylized animation. The action is well-timed and a lot of fun to watch, and the music fits the lively, comedic pace quite nicely. Like "The Playground Bully", this film also features an appearance/cameo by Mot's mischievous penguin. Watch "The Windmill" for an upbeat, refreshing film that will definitely bring a smile, and perhaps even a good laugh into your day.
