Players have been able to flex their creative muscles insideMinecraftfor roughly a decade, giving life to everything ranging from original creations to pop and game culture icons likeSkyrim’s epic locales. A less common creation seen, though, is machinima as it can typically be more time consuming and requires multiple players to accomplish. However, one player’s latest creation, taken from the comedy classicMonty Python and the Holy Grail, flexes both in their recreation of one of the film’s most famous scenes.
Originally released in 1975,Monty Python and the Holy Grailwas the second feature film from theBritish comedy troupe Monty Pythoninspired by Arthurian legends. The film follows King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail, injected with a healthy dose of the surreal, satirical, and dark comedy the group was known for. It also cemented the group’s popularity in the U.S., which was slowly exposed to Monty Python’s brand of comedy through the television series,Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

While a quick scroll through YouTube can find plenty of tributes to the aforementioned film, Reddit user Antillion usedMinecraftto share their love forHoly Grailand one scene in particular. The scene in particular sees Arthur and his knights running afoul of some French knights who taunt the Camelot caravan mercilessly and humorously. Antillion doesn’t skimp out, either, letting it run through the scene’s end when Arthur and his comrades are pelted by various farm animals launched from the French’s catapult.
While Antillion says theMinecraftrecreation is “probably blasphemy,” the comment section is filled with users applauding Antillion’s work in bringing the scene to life in-game. Some users also took the chance to request Antillion work theirMinecraftmagic on other popular Monty Python film scenes, such as the ending song fromLife of BriantoHoly Grail’s famous and seemingly immortalBlack Knight. Antillion had some fun with these requests, responding with Monty Python quotes playing on how hard making this one scene was.
Jokes aside, the work Antillion and the other players they worked with to bring this scene to life insideMinecraftis evident.Machinimacan be a time-consuming endeavor to undertake as players need to be able to coordinate properly to ensure the video, whether it be an original idea or a tribute, comes out as close to the original vision as possible. However, there is something to be said about the sense of accomplisment when it comes out as intended and when the response from viewers is as positive as it was here for Antillion.
Minecraftis currently available on Mobile, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
