Among the painstakingly-recreated poignant moments that fans of the movie will recognize are when the two young British soldiers are given their mission to cross no man’s land to deliver a life-saving message to a British colonel.

They also remade the scene where a rat triggers a near fatal explosion in an abandoned German trench and when they encounter a woman and her baby. 

As with the original trailer, the Lego tribute ends with the dramatic scene of one of the soldiers running through a field, towards the camera, as others charge in another direction, while artillery fire goes off all around them.

The makers of the Lego movie tribute describe themselves as being ‘Two brothers with bricks, brains and billions of ideas for stop motion videos.’

Directed by Sam Mendes, 1917 received 10 Oscar nominations and won three for visual effects, sound mixing and cinematography. It also won Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director at the Golden Globes.
