4/10
Probably better than expected

"Monty Python & the Holy Grail in Lego" is a brief animated short film from 2001 long before the recent rise in popularity of Lego animation, so you could say that directors Drage and Mines were ahead of their time, even if they never managed to make it big in the last 15 years and this is still a contender for their most known career effort. Apart from the fact that this film here runs for 90 seconds only, slightly over to be exact, and that I think it is really impossible to fit the full feature it parodies into this minimal runtime, I also have some personal issues with it. I have never been big on Lego animation style or Monty Python, so my personal bias may have a bit to do with how I rate this and actually taking that into account, the rating is maybe even higher than expected as I stated in the title of my review too. If you like Monty Python and Lego animation more than I do, then maybe you will quite enjoy this one. Like Terry Gilliam apparently did. As with the real M.P. stuff, there is lots of singing here too. So yeah, I'd only recommend it to those who really love The Holy Grail, the film this spoofs. If you don't, then skip it.
