This is my biggest stop-motion project. It's about evil forces trying to bring King Artaher's fortress to fall. Fans of battle movies (like LOTR or King Arthur) will recognise many scenes and quotes ;) Shot in 2005.

Originally it was planned as an half hour movie in four parts, but for several reasons I was just able to finish the first two parts with a total running time of 17mins.

The version presented here is a re-release of the original movie, which had been taken down by YouTube due to copyright claims. 2011's "The Kingdom" comes with a completely new score and more advanced soundeffects. Also, there are 20 extra seconds of battle footage at the very end of part 2, which I didn't use back then.

Hope you enjoy!

    Best playmobil stop motion ever

    @Waffel22 Thanks! To be honest, I didn't really have that many medieval figures. Some of the shields in both armies I just made from paper ;) And in this particular shot I took the first guards, as soon as they where out of frame, and placed them (with different hair) at the end of the row, so they were used twice!

    1Wow! This is one of the best playmobil productions I've ever seen! Where's the third part?

    Woo hoo! Thank you for finally getting this back up! My eldest son was/is a huge fan. The Kingdom is what first got him interested in stop-motion animation. He's since taken about 5 classes/camps to learn how to do it himself (and a new one's coming up that will teach how to add audio...I hope it's not too advanced for him!). Now his two younger brothers (perfect Playmobil age) finally know what it is we've been talking about, when talking about your movie. :) 3 thumbs up from all 3!

    p.s. I have only one SMALL complaint. I hope I'm not being a buzz-kill here! I really liked the sound of the crow and the flag blowing in the breeze in the very beginning, before. It's still fabulous so no biggie but there was something about the quiet beginning that was like the lull before the storm.

    @Ayram9 Was there sound? Oh, I remember...yeah, that's missing here...well, in exchange, there are many new sounds now ;) And I just love that the films had/have such an impact on your sons, stop-motion is a wonderful way to animate a movie, it shouldn't get forgotten :)

    Wie viele Bilder stecken eigentlich in der Flaggen bewegung am Anfang? Sieht echt toll aus da bekommt man glatt Angst das die Figuren echt aus dem Schrank raus klettern könnten :) Wie immer Gute Arbeit, ich Liebe es !
