On April 1st, 1945, the US military launched an assault on Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg. More than 180,000 US soldiers were deployed on the southern coast of the island. Although Japanese resistance was initially sparse, the ensuing battle for the island would last 82 days, killing an estimated 12,000 American soldiers, more than 100,000 Japanese, and roughly 50,000 Okinawan civilians. The battle was the bloodiest of the Pacific campaign, and subsequently became nicknamed the Typhoon of Steel. On June 22 US forces seized control of the island as Japanese officers committed ritual suicide. The US would use the island from which to launch naval and air attacks on mainland Japan until the end of the war.

It was an honor voicing in this mate
We truly appreciate it!!!
5:47 love the way he managed to sneak in a bit of Dawson from the movie Hacksaw ridge
Thank you!
Desmond doss, dont get confused with titanic mate
@@GotchaChris131 I forgot his name and 2 I wasn’t thinking about titanic I’ve not even seen the movie
@@Fawbie_WW2 oh okay mate, thanks for the heads up
Glad you put Desmond Doss in the Hacksaw Ridge scene
As a lego purist, the clay triggers me, but as an animator, I love it and the advantages it brings. Well done!
Thank you! Yes, the clay was a tough decision for us to make, we do like the 100% LEGO aspects some other animators do, but it does drastically increase the difficulty of animating.

That's cool buddy! It would be nice to cooperate together❤

When you are a random stop motion maker and manage to made a video with Hollywood’s quality: Amazing job. The ambience at the beginning was simply mind blowing ! And the whole quality reach the top at my eyes
This concept of clay for terrain is something i've not seen used anywhere, looked awesome alongside the smooth animations, nice job!
Thank you very much!
This has got to be some of the smoothest animation I've ever seen. Fantastic, outstanding, incredible - whatever else I'm missing - job!
Greg got uh oh 👍 hjfjfb hjfjfb figure
@@marvindetorres4524 ok buddy
រត!ដយកផលផងថា😮
Anybody talking about the water effects? Bro it looks like real water.
@@hemorrhoid1 I know! It's insane what this guy has managed to do here with a bunch of plastic toys
Never thought I'd see a Lego animation display the horror of war. The bravery of these Lego figures will not be forgotten. Especially at moments like 5:44 And 6:37
I've never seen the terrain entirely modeled with clay before and you get some very cool results with it
The U.S. also intended to use Okinawa as a launch pad for Operation Downfall which would have been the Allied Invasion of mainland Japan but it was canceled after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria on August 9th,1945 . Also love that you added Desmond Doss in there the dude is a legend.
Where is Doss mentioned?
@@LegalShield3000He's the medic that ran out to get the wounded one-legged soldier.
dude this has to be the best hacksaw ridge lego animation i’ve ever seen it’s like the movie
After a long time , its finally here, can't wait for it to start!
I love the reference to Desmond Doss ad 5:42! Incredible stop-motion all around!
Thank you!
77 years yesterday. Salute to the vets of the 77th infantry including Desmond Doss. And peace to the people of Okinawa who were caught between the armies
An impressive piece of work. A great way to memorialize the men who gave their lives in this campaign. I also really like the desmond doss cameo.
Thanks!
I like how you made the naval guys wear the police officer uniform from Lego city and on top of that the stop motion itself was incredible and the voices were of the chart!
This was amazing, the animation was so seamless I can’t imagine how long that took. I loved the little nod to Desmond doss during the hacksaw ridge part
Thanks! We wanted to subtly pay respect to Desmond Doss, and appreciate viewers like you noticing!
Fantastic to see Desmond Doss in this, an incredible human being.
Love the short cameo of Former Pvt. Desmond Doss, the unmarked medic who saved more than 70 men in that battle
I love how this is historical accurate, even more than some movies 😅
One of the best brick films i’ve seem
Thank you!!
There he is! The myth the legend, DESMOND DOS!!! 5:46 I'm so glad you added this in its not operation ice berg without him!!
Thanks!
Love the Desmond doss reference when you got to the hacksaw ridge part
Well done! The historical accuracy is top notch! An interesting "factoid" was that Japanese intelligence was trying to predict if the U.S. would invade Okinawa or Formosa. The Japanese settled on Formosa (Taiwan) and moved the veteran 9th Infantry Division (which had just arrived from the Kwantung Army in Manchuria) from Okinawa to Formosa. An additional 15,000 Japanese troops plus all of the artillery and machine guns that equipped them would have added to the casualty counts for both sides and probably prolonged the campaign by another month or so. Excellent video!
Extra quality! I love this movie. Water,fire and smoke are also realistically expressd.
Nice. Love the clay. And the Battleships. And the all of it.
Thanks so much, we are inspired by your films as well!
@@TwinBricks Oh wow, thanks!
Good job on adding a small detail of Desmond Doss about 5 and a half ish minutes in. I also loved the detail! Great job!
Love the Desmond Doss cameo! Incredible video!
dud I have watched this over and over and I am not tired of it
Man your animations are the best you got to be my new fav animation KZheadr
Felt like I was watching an old vintage ww2 film, was on enjoying it the whole time we’ll done!
Man I have no words, this is a masterpiece
The idea with water is amazing
Nice job with the uniforms
I was not ready for the sheer amount of frames that went into this holy hell
This is some of the smoothest animation I've ever seen
JD bricks has got some competition man!
I like that Doss was included in this
This channel is underrated.
Adding the clay as the ground was an awesome idea as you can shape it and make it look like bombs and shots have disturbed the ground without destroying the bricks. This was an amazing stopmotion! Amazing job!
Impressive. A good depiction of the things used in that battle as well as how desperate the Japanese are as now the US are in their backyard.
Bro this is so smooth! Terrain:10/10 Motions:10/10 Quality:10/10! Keep it up!
Nah this is 100000/10
Keep on going
The second I saw the water quality i instantly subbed
The way the explosions match the clay is great!
An amazing and unique animation! Well done
phoenix stopmotions you’re are fired for not do lego ww2 dunkirk
The animation is top smooth, and the movements of the figures are very vibrant and full of expression. Very nice animation.
Great job! Love the use of clay that reflectvso well one of the aspect of the battle: the mud. The atrack took place during the rainy season...
The way that he put Desmond Doss on the brickfilm was incredible
Thanks! We wanted to honor his legacy

Best Okinawa Lego movie I’ve ever seen 😊

The impressive quality of this video makes me more enchanted with ww2 lego stopmotion
I love the water animation at the start!
I really love seeing the Japanese still using bolt-Action rifles and they are hella good with it.
Amazing touch with Desmond Doss, flawless
Some nice hacksaw ridge scene references
Finally found a Lego war animation with blood effects
I can wait for your stop motion for long time ago
Great animations! I really liked how you made the water, that’s really clever.

5:46 is a reference to a movie that makes me feel nice and wholesome on the inside, nice job adding that in!
The graphics are better than my eyes😮
this aint lego, this is a masterpeice
First ever Lego war that uses clay as the terrain and the smoothness of the animation is just incredible 😊
Thank you!
What the hell did i just watch?? That was fantastic! I want more. Must. Find. More.
I love the water and explosion physics!
Thank you!
This video made me look into why the marines had long toms on the island when they had ships off shore
man that first shot of the water and just the environment is amazing keep up the good work
Holy shit I’ve never seen a Lego stop motion this smooth before
Insanely smooth. Very nice film
The smooth Lego animation is why I subscribe
We appreciate it!
Oh man this was a beautiful stop motion. The water effects really made for an amazing finish.
I LOVED this animation. I really liked the lunge mine scene and the reference to Desmond Doss.
Thanks!
No, thank you for making this film!
Wow! I love the smoothness of this animation. This was enjoyable to watch too. I love it.
What a masterpiece! I especially love how the music perfectly fits the story, which is quite difficult to achieve. The animation and camera work are basically flawless. Amazing work!
Thank you so much! We new when we wanted to make our film, we wanted music that would fit the emotions well. Check out the composer that produced the soundtrack for us here: kzhead.info?app=desktop&list=PLXbS4x274K1dkR2M2nA0JkBHQPeaI24M3
@@TwinBricks Whoa, I didn't know you hired a composer for it. I might ask him for music for my next project!
“There’s no way they can survive that barrage” “Oh but they can” One of my fav lines from the movie
As a lego animator, I gotta say that this was an amazing film, well done on the attention to detail
appreciate the efforts man, great short film....
Better than Hollywood can do with a $100,000,000 budget. Nice work.
I love ww2 and pacific campaign and lego so this is amazing
Great little Desmond Doss scene
Omg that was the SMOOTHEST stopmotion I have ever seen like when the soldier threw his gun on the ground and I had a little kick back up. It was amazing great job 5 stars!
Best lego animation i have ever watch! With new design and textures. Nice one bro keep going with more ww2 and ww1 lego animation.
