Brickfilms online before 2001

This is a list of brickfilms that were known to have been distributed on the internet before 2001. This cutoff point was chosen because LEGO Studios was released in November 2000 and Brickfilms.com launched on December 16, 2000, so by the start of 2001, brickfilming was established online, with a centralized location and growing in popularity. Before Brickfilms.com, brickfilms were sometimes shared in places such as LUGNET and the Usenet group rec.toys.lego.

While at this time there were brief CG renders and stop-motion animation tests shared mainly in gif form, this list aims to cover only the full films that were available online. There are few of these because sharing video over the internet at this time was difficult, requiring you to acquire webspace to host the video file and requiring the viewer to download a file considered large at the time, usually over dial-up internet. This list should not be considered exhaustive, as there would more than likely have been more unknown films on personal websites and other known early films for which proof of their availability online before 2000 has not been located.
