LEGO Monty Python: The Tale of Sir Launcelot
The tale of Sir Launcelot in his search for the Holy Grail! How it really happened...
Thanks to Monty Python for the great classic!
5/5 bricks!
I loved it all the way. The subtle body movements of the guards was very good.
I don't quite understand it, because I don't know the source material, but I thought it was funny anyway. The repeated clip was humorous, I laughed at that. I really like how you made the spear have motion blur, that was nice. The overall animation was really well done, too. Keep it up! 
So, I've seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and still don't get it.
But that's ok, since the production values on this are amazing.
The animation is super smooth, the motion blur is used perfectly, and while the repetitious footage did get a bit old, it was all to make the punchline that much better.
Great job.
Thanks everyone!

I would say that it would help to watch the movie, but...

This is a frame for frame remake of the movie (excluding the ending). So the repetition is part of the actual film. I did take the liberty to do the guards movements in more of a LEGO fashion. The real movie would have caused rather boring static scenes when in the LEGO format.
The motion blur is fantastic isn't it! AnW did a great job with the post production! 
Ninety percent of the production time was actually the post production (which was largely do to my lack of organization in the filming process... and in my set design).
The amount of detail and skill put into this is incredible.
Congrats. This is one of my favourite parts of the movie, and you recreated it perfectly. The frame animation has such crisp quality, it closely and beautifully resembles that of the original film. The ending was pretty well done, too.
There is nothing to get, it's just funny, and that is great. If you want an in depth analysis check this out
Thank you Funmi and Mickey, glad you enjoyed it and that you thought I did the original film justice.

That's exactly the point of this short! Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the comments everyone! Thanks for the comments on our production quality, we do try quite hard to keep everything to a high standard. As for people not really 'getting' it, sorry, can't really help you. Maybe watch the original scene and ask yourself, "What if those guys weren't so dumb?".
