Fun build and cool features!
on October 7, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
The set retails for $99.99, comes with 811 pieces, and stands at an impressive 14.5 inches tall. Included in the set is a film reel which features scenes from some of Disney Animations most iconic films spanning from Steamboat Willie to Encanto Another great feature is the five unique minifigs, most notably and exclusive to this set are Bambi, Dumbo, and Walt Disney himself.
Another couples great features of this set are how when you crank the camera, you hear the classic sound of an old film reel spinning, and the hidden office for Walt inside of the camera.
While the set is a beautiful display piece, I will say I was disappointed with the lack of playability it has. I wish that you could move the camera around on the stand. While it seems the designers did their best to make it as sturdy as possible, it is very wobbly and top heavy when you try to use any of the features.
Overall, this set has a lot of unique and fun building techniques and was fun to put together. Even you’re not a Disney fan, it’s easy to just pop off the “1” and film reel and display it as just the camera itself.
Overall, I’d rate this set at a 8.5/10 for its display-ability, and unique parts. I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys videography and Disney, but if one of those two things don’t appeal to you, you can probably just get the build by itself or the figures you want for a cheaper price on BrickLink.
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of the best build experiences
on October 14, 2023
Posted by: UncleCourteousChisel
To some, you just slap a few bricks together and you have a LEGO set, same experience, blah blah blah. The techniques this build uses are completely different and stray a bit from the normal path of a LEGO build. It has technical elements that make the repetitiveness disappear for the tripod build and keeps you interested. The figures included are very nice and detailed and make a fine addition to your collection and the pane glass combiner element is just crazy cool and is exactly how they used to make the old cartoons. This build is amazing looking and with some simple modifications can even be setup to look like a focal art piece.

Amazing set
on September 14, 2023
Posted by: JumpyTree042
This is hands down one of my favorite display sets yet and the build was an incredibly fun one. As a fan of Disney, Lego, and all around animation, I am absolutely in love with every detail, my favorite being the 3 panel background. My only complaint is that, after watching Disney's the Old mill, the scene in the set does not appear to be a part of the short.

Wish the camera swiveled
on September 23, 2023
Posted by: DameSportyFangtom100
This is a nice set, very nostalgic and some really good attention to details. The only thing I wish they would have done differently is to make it so the camera could be moved up and down or swiveled around on the tripod. The presence of the camera handle makes it seem like it should be able to move but then it doesn’t. It’s just a little disappointing to me.

One small improvement
on October 24, 2023

The only thing that could improve this build is for the white trim of the "100" at the top to be metallic silver.

Interesting build with a great final product, BUT
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: BuilderRN
The build was enjoyable, with just the right level of difficulty to make it a relaxing challenge. AND, the minifigures are excellent. However, the final build, while aesthetically pleasing, is structurally less secure than expected. Mainly, the articulation between the camera and the tripod is very wobbly ( or, perhaps, I did something wrong?). I do recommend this build, as the final structure, the minifigures, and the ancillary structure are a delight to look at, and to have on display.

Response from LEGOBy Chelsea, LEGO® Customer Service, October 26, 2023
If you've checked that all the pieces are pressed tightly together, as even one piece can throw off the whole build, and you're still having troubles, we'd be happy to help troubleshoot the build. Feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help get things rolling again!
