In this Episode of LEGO MASTERS, Michael and I created a farmer known as Olc BcBonald. Farmer BcBonald was on his way to the state fair with all of his prize winning piggies atop his trusty raft. However, it seems as if the current is sweeping the gang elsewhere!

"What's that squeally?!" shouts BcBonald

"REE EEEE EEE!"

"What?! A waterfall you say?!"

"Oink Oink"

"Well, shoot doggone, that ain't on the map. Where in tarnation are we?" questions the farmer

But it was too late... Farmer BcBonald threw his hands up in the air and all he could was shake and squeal with the pigs until they approach the waterfall. Head over curly tail, one by one all four pigs tumbled off the raft, breaking through the fence, and knocking over their beloved trough of cakes and delicious sweets. Old Farmer BcBonald quickly tumbled over the falls along with all of his prize winning pigs, and Otis, a slightly deranged hog, until they all met their demise in a flurry of pieces at the bottom of the water fall.

Poor Ol' Farmer BcBonald never did make it to the state fair....

One of our absolute favorite episodes! Seeing these hams fall in slow motion was one of the funniest things we thought, and just could not believe our eyes!

I created the farmer's hand mechanism powered off the wheel movement below to give him a concerned wiggle atop their raft. Michael gave each of these fabulous hammies an excited, startled, or scared facial expression! That fourth guy just has some screw loose is all...Seeing the wide eyed startled, tan pig tumbled over the edge and watching his face in slow motion is what specifically cracked us up! Only to be turned into ham salad in a few more seconds.
