Overview
The Magic Portal is a short stop motion film that uses LEGO® bricks, plasticene, cardboard and live action, shot between 1985-1989 on good ol' fashioned 16mm film. The story concerns the strange fate of an astronaut called L, who discovers the Magic Portal aboard his giant spaceship. The Portal takes him to a strange and surreal world where he has a close encounter with a monster, barely escaping with his life. His report to Captain Paranoia only gets him to trouble and his shipmate P doesn't believe him. However, the Portal has a mind of its own, and reappears- revealing weirder worlds more peculiar than the last.
