A story about freedom, death and revenge

KastleVania 4 tells about history of the Bellmount clan and how the youngest member of the family has to face the old nemesis stronger than ever before. Simo Bellmount anticipates the return of forces of evil and sends his grandson to examine the situation in the land of Vania. On his journey, Justus learns a lot about history of the land of Vania, its four provinces with their leaders and about the three legendary artifacts, the combination of which would create the ultimate weapon, the Manasplinter.
Justus ends up living at his grand-uncle’s inn in the peasant village of KastleVilla and leading its people against their oppressors. In light of tragic events and frightening evidence on return of Lord Trakula, Justus must begin a great quest to seek the artifacts and bring forth the balance to the land of Vania. Justus Bellmount, Fisgars Jr. the Blacksmith, Goffheat the Alchemist and the companions must use all means available to defeat Lord Trakula. Prepare for a journey never to forget in the land of Vania!
Phew, We can’t even now realise it’s been 90 months since we started this animation.
We have to say a huge thanks to everyone who has helped and supported us in making this film over the past seven+ years.

Why did you Firepro all the names? To avoid copyright? And if it's stop-motion Legos I can definitely give it a whirl.

Watched the first 20 or so minutes, since that's all the time I had, and it's surprisingly well-made. Much better than any other Lego Castlevania flick.

You should watch it all. The best parts are the last 40minutes.

Yeah, I watched half of it. I skipped the first half. I couldn't get into it. Was falling asleep. I just skipped around. About halfway through, though, I couldn't stop watching and watched the whole second half without getting out of bed. Some of the jokes are pretty funny. And I laughed at the Age Of Empires 3 references. The Dracula fight was fun and I loved whenever someone died. All the little translucent red studs scattering around. The wizard was funny too. I knew he was gonna be trouble by the end of the movie.

I was VERY impressed by the Lego designs.

I'll download it. Since I travel a lot I'll spend my time in the vehicle watching the movie. :3

Very nicely done! I can understand a lot of people's sentiments here with the first half being rather slow (but I sat through it since your team took the time to make it).

Love the musical choices and Elder Scrolls nods, especially love the Juste scene when he's traveling through the barracks. Great camera work with some of the shots too, really impressive stuff. Overall 9/10, would recommend fans to watch it.
