Обновлено: 27.04.2024
Monty Python and the Holy Grail: The Rabbit of Caerbannog is a project on LEGO CUUSOO created by rifirofi on September 6 th , 2013. In its first day on LEGO CUUSOO, it gained over 100 supporters.
In the comments there has been some discussion regarding whether LEGO would produce a set based off the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Most users involved believe that the film has content which is not suitable for LEGO's target audience and thus LEGO would not create a set based off "Monty Python." However, LEGO will decide for themselves if it is appropriate when the project reaches 1,000 supporters, 5,000 supporters, and 10,000 supporters.

The "Rabbit of Caerbannog" playset is a tribute to the classic movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table are led to the Cave of Caerbannog by Tim the Enchanter, and find that they must face down its guardian beast.
• Includes 4 minifigures: Tim the Enchanter, King Arthur, Sir Bors and Sir Robin (but could also include all the Knights of the Round Table too)
• Includes the mighty beast of Caerbannog ("What? Behind the rabbit?")
• Let Sir Bors attack the rabbit ("One rabbit stew coming right up!")
• Make a frontal attack. You know how it ends. ("Run away, run away!")
This set is part of a possible Holy Grail product line, which could include the following sets: ________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. The French: the first stop on the search for the holy grail is the French-controlled castle. Let the French insult the so-called Ah-thoor Keeng!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail in LEGO, also known as Knights of the Round Table in LEGO and LEGO Knights (among other names), is a 2001 parody brickfilm by Tony Mines and Tim Drage of Spite Your Face Productions. It is a recreation of the Camelot scene from the 1975 film of the same name. It was the first of a number of brickfilms made by Spite Your Face for The LEGO Group.
King Arthur and his knights have arrived outside Camelot. Inside Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table sing and dance about what they do in Camelot, including the copious amounts of ham, jam and spam eaten. Knights dance on a table and kick over plates and servers. In the dungeon, a skeleton claps along. Knights tap dance on top of a table, and another knight plays percussion on the helmets of other knights. Another person smacks a dead parrot on a table. A knight complains about frequently pushing a pram.
Back outside Camelot, King Arthur and his knights decide to not go to Camelot on account of its silliness. [1]
Production
The idea to make a LEGO recreation of a portion of Monty Python and the Holy Grail originated when Terry Gilliam saw a web page featuring photographs of LEGO re-imaginings of scenes from the film. Gilliam sent the page to longtime Monty Python producer John Goldstone, who took charge of overseeing the creation of the brickfilm project. Python Pictures had a budget available for new special features for the pending DVD release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. [2]
Python Pictures approached The LEGO Group with the idea. LEGO were already in negotiations with Spite Your Face Productions for other brickfilms, and so Spite Your Face were also given the Python project. The DVD was set to be finalized within less than a month, so Spite Your Face had to make the brickfilm extremely quickly in order for it to be included as a bonus feature. Spite Your Face chose the Camelot scene to recreate, as it would lend itself to dynamic animation and would work as a complete short, with a clear beginning and end. Some of the LEGO pieces in the video were never released in any set, and were acquired directly from LEGO. [3] [4] [5]
"When we made the Python movie, we gathered what bits we needed from the LEGO workshops in Billund. The workshop is a big open plan building with lots of drawers full of random LEGO in otherwise unavailable colours, some properly moulded, some hand painted, some prototype moulds. To cut a long story short, we just found the mysterious bits lying around in drawers, on tables or on the floor. I don't know where they are from or if they were ever released."
- Tony Mines, 2002
In addition to being a DVD extra, the brickfilm was also available to view on the LEGO Studios website from August 2001, [6] on the Monty Python website, and on iFilm, [7] [8] among other places.

Storyline
Did you know
Given the fact that this movie breaks the fourth wall constantly, many crew/equipment goofs may be deliberate. In the final scene, characters even call attention to the film crew as part of the story.
Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
Sir Lancelot: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.
Sir Lancelot: My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot.
Sir Lancelot: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What. is your favourite colour?
Sir Lancelot: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.
Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
Sir Robin: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid.
Sir Robin: Sir Robin of Camelot.
Sir Robin: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What. is the capital of Assyria?
Sir Robin: I don't know that.
[he is thrown over the edge into the volcano]
Bridgekeeper: Stop. What. is your name?
Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot.
Galahad: I seek the Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What. is your favourite colour?
[he is also thrown over the edge]
Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh. Stop. What. is your name?
King Arthur: It is 'Arthur', King of the Britons.
King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What. is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Bridgekeeper: Huh? I. I don't know that.
[he is thrown over]
King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
All the credits are at the beginning. There are no credits at the end. The screen goes black after the movie ends with the depiction of the end of the physical film reel, then organ music is played over the black screen for about 4 minutes before the movie finally ends.
The 2001 special edition features alternative dialogue when Arthur and Bedevere meet Rodger the Shrubber.

Well, this is unquestionably one of the funniest movies ever made. The first time a saw it I laughed to tears and this is the only time that counts. The first time you get the best experience. I really envy those who haven't seen it yet.
From the opening scene to the sudden ending this one won't let you leave the room. Especially the opening scene: "Are you trying to say that coconuts migrate" or when John Cleese trying to be Tarzan, hanging on the rope said: "Can somebody give me a push." An absolute masterpiece.
Considering the low budget that the creators of the movie had at their disposal would probably make "The Holy Grail" the best movie in this genre-silly nonsense kind of stuff. It shows the great creativity and acting capabilities of the Monty Python crew. It comes to say that a movie can be made with a little bit of money - a great movie. 10 out of 10
Animated short, created for DVD and viral, for Python Pictures. Doubtless Spite Your Face Production's most viewed film, thanks to its place on the Holy Grail DVD, but also via countless broadcast appearances worldwide. She's also been featured on a number of magazine discs and in the days before YouTube, could be found at the very top of the charts on Yahoo Movies, iFilm, Atom Films and Veoh. Today it continues to spread of its own accord, inspiring imitators and even sequels.

This is the peak of cinema, all filmmakers can just quit. I will not be taking any questions at this time.
The Python guys getting in on the Lego scene way before the Lego Movie. Created for the 2001 DVD release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was the first of a number of brickfilms produced by Spite Your Face for The LEGO Group.
A short amusing recreation of the musical Camelot scene out of Lego.
The skeleton minifig is the real star here.
The little lego skeleton though
Why is this on letterboxed
Let's go to Camelot!! or not!
About a minute and a half stop-motion animation of Monty Python's Knights of the Round Table song from their Holy Grail film. Very clever.
I mean, it's a great song, so kind of hard to mess it up, I suppose.
And - yes - the skeleton clapping is the hero of this clip.
Although I did really like the parrot being banged on the counter (blink and you'll miss it). Nice nod to the Dead Parrot sketch.
(. currently available on YouTube. )
I love Legos and I love Monty Python so this was great
"It's only a model."
This is a bonus feature on the DVD for MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. It's fun, cutesy, self-aware, and fits the vibe of the movie well. This was actually one of the first DVD's I ever owned, back in 2002 when the format was still relatively new. The entire concept of bonus features was still something we were getting used to, and this encapsulated what one could be perfectly.
This short takes the "Knights of the Round Table" musical sequence from the movie and recreates it with legos in animation. Thirteen years before THE LEGO MOVIE, this is basically the same type of humor. It matches quick pacing and lego-like movements with the sensibility of the original film.
If you like Monty Python and want to see a super-quick animated short that'll make you smile, then this is definitely worth a look.

It’s no secret that I love Monty Python, so it’s really no surprise that someone like Rifiröfi would be able to successfully appeal to my vanity in order to share his own LEGO Monty Python creations. The thing is, Rifiröfi LEGO recreations of key scenes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail are really quite good — wonderful custom minifigures presented with well-built scenes in pseudo-official box art.
Here’s The Rabbit of Caerbannog, with its “nasty, big, pointy teeth!”
Fortunately, the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is at hand to assist King Arthur and his brave knights.
But one of my favorite scenes is when *SPOILER* Sir Bedevere establishes that Connie Booth’s character is a witch because she weighs the same as a duck.
Okay, fine, I can’t pick a favorite scene. Here’s the Black Knight.
Finally, no depiction of Monty Python and the Holy Grail would be complete without the French knights and Arthur’s assault on their castle.
Check out all of Rifiröfi’s LEGO Monty Python scenes on Flickr. And since I’m in a mildly self-aggrandizing mood, you can take a trip in the wayback machine with me and visit my own LEGO Monty Python photoset on Flickr. (For the record, I think Rifiröfi’s scenes are way better than mine — some of the earliest LEGO photos I posted online back in 2004.)
