Building Blocks of the American Revolution

YouTube hosts a handful of short animated films about the Battle of Bunker Hill, most apparently made as school assignments. I have to give the edge to this stop-motion Lego® version. It’s not wholly accurate (Americans wouldn’t build a tower on Breed’s Hill until decades after the battle), but it reproduces more of the day than the other offerings.

And don’t Lego people remind you of Davy on Davy and Goliath?

  1. Hello Mr. Bell,

    I enjoy reading your blog. I have a great interest in Colonial history also. I am an artist specializing in colonial portraits.I also used the blogger parchment template for my blog, but I changed the border and background. Please take a look!http://theredcolonial.blogspot.com/
    Oh, and I thought I was the only one who watched Davy and Goliath!
