The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.
In this edition, watch one of the most memorable scenes from from Knives Out recreated in stop-motion animation with LEGO minifigures and bricks. Plus, get an up close look at costumes from movies like V for Vendetta, Pacific Rim, The Rocketeer, and more before they go up for auction. And finally, see some of Queer Eye‘s funniest moments get animated.
First up, a movie fan and LEGO builder at the YouTube channel Joebor1777 took a memorable scene from Knives Out and recreated it with LEGO minifigures and bricks. The scene in question follows Chris Evans as Ransom as he informs the rest of his despicable family that he’d been removed from the will of their father before his death, and then proceeds to tell them to eat shit.
Next, Adam Savage’s Tested crew checks out some screenused costumes and props from movies like Judge Dredd, Top Gun, V for Vendetta, The Rocketeer, Pacific Rim, and more. They’re all going up for auction at the Prop Store, and as you get a glimpse of how they’ve aged over the years, you can see some other familiar pieces from Jingle All the Way, Jurassic Park, and more.
Finally, Netflix gave Queer Eye an animated makeover, taking some of the funnier moments with Antoni, Karamo, Jonathan, Bobby, and Tan and turning them into cute cartoon shorts. Dogs, avocado toast, cows, drums and more all make appearances, along with the animated versions of the Fab Five, and they should probably get their own cartoon now too.

Stop-motion animator Jeremy Borchers has recreated a pivotal scene from the murder mystery Knives Outin LEGO form, and it works surprisingly well. Transforming the rather famous 'eat sh*t' scene with toys made primarily for children certainly provides for some amusing juxtaposition, but the effort behind the animation alone is arguably the most noteworthy aspect.
Borchers (Joebor1777 on YouTube) runs a channel where he reconstructs scenes and trailers using LEGO, alongside his own original animations. As the latest in his creations, which include gems from re-imaginings of Star Wars trailers all the way to a John Wick fight scene, the Knives Out video gives a new perspective on the scene in question. Featuring the character Ransom (played in the film by Chris Evans) lashing out after being confronted about an argument he'd had with the murder victim, the scene is almost surreal given the combination of source material and medium. However, the attention to detail is impressive, and even given the choice of animation style, the feel of the original sequence remains impressively intact.

Borchers is no slouch, having honed his animation craft on his channel for over 6 years, and that dedication shows. Many amateur LEGO animations have a similar look, with characters seemingly restricted to a limited set of movements. But Borchers utilizes some clever techniques, such as removing the figures' arms and heads from their static pegs to allow for a greater range of motions, to drastically enhance the personality behind each character. The mouth animations, done with help from fellow animator Oak 99, appear to be done in post-production, which is to be expected since LEGO figures, tragically, cannot speak.
Knives Out, Rian Johnson's surprise hit of 2019, took audiences on an intriguing ride through the process of private detective Benoit Blanc (played with clear ecstatic joy by Daniel Craig) as he investigates the family of a wealthy murder victim. While the story itself is intriguing enough in its own right, the film's greatest strengths are arguably its character interactions and 'requires a second viewing' details and clues sprinkled all throughout the 2+ hour runtime. The former is so well done that, as demonstrated by Borchers, scenes can retain their original punch even when transposed to an entirely different medium.
Stop motion is no simple task, so Borchers' accomplishments cannot be understated. Even the most basic of movements will take a, frankly, barely reasonable amount of time to pull off, and given all the subtle nuances present in this animation, there's no telling how long the whole ~2 minute video took to produce. All that's certain is that there's a ton of talent present here, so here's hoping Joebor1777 keeps at it for a long time to come.
