rest in peace Ole Kirk Christiansen. I am 40 and I still buying Legos for myself. Every year I buy one set for my son and another set for myself and we sit and build them. Love Legos.
I feel your pain. Have you ever needed that one brick which you used in another creation which you kept. It felt so bad when I took apart an old set for a new one.
I like how the narrator goes from talking about Lego and its history like an outsider, then slowly hints about him being part of the Lego family get more frequent until he's like "My grandfather"
I watched this video for a school research i decided to do and really I couldn´t help but cry in tears of joy for all the happines this company and it´s legacy has brought to my life.
Did you mention that in 1999-2000 Lego almost went out of business, but their revolutionary Bionicle product line saved the company and was a huge success? Bionicle was my favorite Lego line, such a shame they ended it
Who knew LEGO went from a Wooden toy company to a highly popular building block brand that not only inspires but defined the childhoods of many! I'll never forget playing with LEGOs growing up, and I'll never forget my LEGO Club Magazine subscription that my dad signed me up for when I was a kid!
This video is 10 years old now. I saw it like a thousand times and i still think it's awesome. Happy 90th anniversary, and thanks for defining my childhood.
It can get better and your wife is now your husband and you are his wife and people without houses have homes now and people with homes don't have houses

Godtfred found a way to make the Lego bricks stay together, but didn't find a way to NOT make them hurt when you step on them. Ah yes, quality indeed 👌
11 years later an im still watching this, i loved this as a kid and still love it. personally its better than some animations out there now, and im so glad ole started making toys made up so much of my childhood
Godtfred learned that day that only the best is good enough. So many decades later, when the fans asked for a phase 2 commander Cody minifigure, LEGO changed their motto to the phrase “it’s good enough”.
@@HellHoundTheDumbDominican no, but the fans did ask for a phase 2 cody minifigure. however it was based off of episode 2 of star wars and cody wasn't present there so yeah. also it'd be better if they added cody in a set which everyone can afford.
What an amazing & inspiring story so beautifully told & illustrated. Made me think of my late father who was a master craftsman. He was a school teacher who taught woodworking & technical drawing amongst other subjects. His workshop was a shed at the bottom of the garden where he spent most evenings making furniture etc. When he retired he spent a lot of his time handcrafting wooden toys for children at a nearby hospital/home for disabled children. The last thing he did was set off on his bicycle to buy linseed oil to finish some toys he was working on. He collapsed & never came out of hospital. He was 81. I was his oldest daughter & he'd hoped for a son. My childhood toys were not dolls but meccano (erector sets) & other building sets with tiny bricks, mortar & trowels that u could build miniature houses with. I learned a lot from him. Later in life I was able to do carpentry, tiling, plumbing etc. Thanks for posting this lovely video.
“What should I name my company?” *several name suggestions appear in the background* “If only there was a sign.” *MORE SUGGESTIONS APPEAR AND HE STILL DOESNT NOTICE*
the other suns didn’t want to work for the company and indtead went their own paths to now in 2020 make all their money from the buisness without doing a thing.
A heartwarming story indeed. Jokes aside, the story was great. May Lego continue to make all people (not just the children) happy for generations to come.
This guy had no idea the impact he would have on the world. BIONICLE is not just my favorite LEGO franchise, but one of my favorite fictional universes, and I likely wouldn't have it if not for Oleg, Gottfriend and all of their help. (And some thanks to my Polynesian heritage)
It’s very sad that Bionicle never did achieve its full potential; at least 2 more movies, more toy lines, but it was a great decade while it lasted. I loved the Bionicle movies and toys, I had this Pirake Vezok figure I loved
This was seriously one of the best little videos that I've ever seen! I had no idea of the story! My 2 sons (now 34 & 36) lived for Legos even up into their 20's! They still have most of them. This story brought tears and a smile that lasted throughout the entire video! I am so glad that I came across it. Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic story!❤🙏💫
I remember watching this video as a kid, I still find the story to be really interesting and if I really wanted to I could sit down and watch it a couple more times
Wow Lego was first created as a toy but now it has reached unimaginable heights. Legos can now be used to make prosthetic arms/legs, drivable car, Bridge that is almost half the height of statue of liberty and robotic engineers use legos for their own creations.

What an amazing origin story of how the LEGO company started, it does remind me of my childhood when I watched this animation video and then started taking interest in Legos.
I never had Lego growing up nor did my brother. But seeing this heartwarming story of Lego makes me so happy that other kids had them and how perseverance pays off letting nothing stop you from accomplishing. Hard times, fire, how to improve on something. The history of this toy is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
***** who cares if it was long it would have been a interesting thing to see, not only that but a lot of people would have atleast know why they have in their life one of the coolest toys in their childhood :)
this story makes me so sad. my brother would make stop motions with legos and he would work on them for hours just editing them and getting the legos to move just right. he was only ten or eleven, and he was so good at them. i remember i voiced one of the characters in his very first stop motion. but then he lost his phone this year, and i think all the videos he made are gone :( it breaks my heart. i hope someday he finds them

My mother was German and met my father, who was a Danish Red Cross soldier, in Hamburg just after the war in 1946. They got married and she moved to Horsens, Denmark with him. A few years later, she got a job as a secretary in a local toy store, "USA" in Horsens, Denmark, where she made accounts and wrote letters. One day a representative came into the store and wanted to sell some wooden toys. He was really fond of my mother, who was both talented, spoke German, able to stenographize and was very beautiful too. The man offered her a job at his company in Billund, not far from Horsens. But my mother said no. She had a child by then and her husband, Ib, my father, had a good job with an insurance company. So he went back to Billund without my mother. The man was Ole Kirk. So if my mother, Frieda, had taken with him, she would have helped to build Lego. But, that is the way history can always be seen when looking back. Today I would love to work for Lego. Both my mother and farther do not live anymore, but their stories still do.
with the four golden wepons (sword of fire, syth of quakes,nunchucks of lightning,shirkins of ice) but when he passed a dark force, lord garmadon sought out to collect them so i sensei wu his brother sought out to find four pepole to collect them first *weekend whip starts playing*
I remember in 1972 (I was 10 yrs old) I received my first lego set in the mail free because I filled out some form and mailed it in. I'll never forget opening it and playing with it. I was home sick from school. It brightened my day.
If I'm not mistaken, some of the family members do stand at the entrance of the original Legoland in Billund and greet visitors on the first day of the opening season :)

All these years, I never knew Lego actually started in the 1930s. I was born 70 years later.
In 2006?
“But at least now it can’t get much worse.”

10:10 What's funny is that the Lego TH-cam channel actually dubbed over him saying the word "damn", and replaced it with "darn"
1930's LEGO: People buying wooden toys
2020 LEGO: People making memes about a man falling into a river
lol so true
I love gen z
The Updates Nerd / TBTLUPDATES In 1930 you couldn’t make memes though lmao
Your “joke” is only a joke if it makes sense.
Vixen M. I know it is a joke, but it is really stupid, a joke needs humour but also some sense.
Vixen M. What did you say bruh for??
This video is the most accurate. It tells the origins of LEGO through the humble beginnings, era of rise to power and success.
Maxim Katsur i think this is a copy from the real lego channel
Doge the Gamer I think it’s owned by LEGO.
Rorio Mario yeah thats what i was thinking
Maybe because the video is made by LEGO
Gotfred son made this video, then he sent it to Lego then Lego owned it. Gotfred's son is Kjeld. I think he is around his 70's or 80's
Wife-at least it can't get worse.
Two days later- steps on Lego brick and dies.
adam west195 I mean IT DID GET WORSE
😂😂😂
If you die what the point of creating legos he’s dead
Hshaj or tacos r/wooosh
NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A JOKE I SAW 2 MONTHS AGO
this story makes me so sad. my brother would make stop motions with legos and he would work on them for hours just editing them and getting the legos to move just right. he was only ten or eleven, and he was so good at them. i remember i voiced one of the characters in his very first stop motion. but then he lost his phone this year, and i think all the videos he made are gone :( it breaks my heart. i hope someday he finds them
“surely things can’t get much worse!”
*in a happy and cheery voice* But they did get worse, Ole lost his wife!
lmao
lel
Wtf cal!
But ole wasn't one to give up
:(
"Don't worry it can't get any worse"
and then it got worse.
Don't worry it can't get worse, but it got worse....
He stepped on a lego brick :(

My mother was German and met my father, who was a Danish Red Cross soldier, in Hamburg just after the war in 1946. They got married and she moved to Horsens, Denmark with him. A few years later, she got a job as a secretary in a local toy store, "USA" in Horsens, Denmark, where she made accounts and wrote letters. One day a representative came into the store and wanted to sell some wooden toys. He was really fond of my mother, who was both talented, spoke German, able to stenographize and was very beautiful too. The man offered her a job at his company in Billund, not far from Horsens. But my mother said no. She had a child by then and her husband, Ib, my father, had a good job with an insurance company. So he went back to Billund without my mother. The man was Ole Kirk. So if my mother, Frieda, had taken with him, she would have helped to build Lego. But, that is the way history can always be seen when looking back. Today I would love to work for Lego. Both my mother and farther do not live anymore, but their stories still do.
hfranke07 er du dansker?
Jeps... født i Horsens i '61. Bor nu i Sønderborg.
Wow that is a great story, I bet you wish she took the job.
wow really?

You right
The Master Of XD no one cares
I remember in 1972 (I was 10 yrs old) I received my first lego set in the mail free because I filled out some form and mailed it in. I'll never forget opening it and playing with it. I was home sick from school. It brightened my day.
"a tradition we kept ever since"
So you're telling me if I go to Lego land you'll greet me?
If I'm not mistaken, some of the family members do stand at the entrance of the original Legoland in Billund and greet visitors on the first day of the opening season :)
BonkoMcSwag Wow the family is so sweet!
JustBob ya lol
Can’t wait to meet a zombie!
Narrator: even though it was world war 2 nothing could go wrong
