My name is Michael Hickox. I create stop motion videos of various themes, but all made from LEGO and similar brand toys. I try to make my videos universal, with a wide range of cultures and ages in mind. Please take a look around, watch some videos, and enjoy the Lego community.
Tim and Ralph motor madness is a funny lego stop motion animation video - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I know a lot of you are going to comment about where he is and if he’s okay, so based on current research (and other comments), I finally understood what happened to him. So before you do anything else in the comments, please read this.
In 2021, Micheal Hickox had officially retired off of CZcams and returned to his technology company in Ohio (his hometown). The reason for it being because he was unhappy with the current state of CZcams at the time (COPPA, channels shutting down, strikes, etc) and his business partners had to cut down on budgets because of the pandemic. With all these issues coming at him at once, it was difficult to produce a simple video. Not wanting to risk anything else to occur, he had no choice but to call it his time and officially leave the platform after this video.
Now I know a lot of you are upset with him leaving (I myself) but when you think about it, all of it makes sense. He’s been making videos for over a decade now. That’s a lot of years of development, and like anyone else he’d be burnt out from constant work. Especially for videos like the pizza delivery ones, he was growing tired of constant maintenance and development.
Also note that he quit his old job back then (the one he works for now) to focus full time on these videos. While he was able to make a living and support himself, with everything that happened on CZcams and the current inflation, it was hard to make enough on one video. And when you look at his new videos compared to his old ones, they’ve lost quality. Not saying they’re bad, but they don’t have the ring anymore (compare Lego Shopping to this video, you’ll see the difference).
And lastly, Micheal Hickox has a life like anyone else. He has more to do than animate Lego’s all day. He stated that he was in his late 20’s and as of now he’s most likely in his 30’s . In that time, you have a lot more to worry about (e.x moving somewhere else, getting married, etc). At that time, perhaps the only way to fully focus on those things is to sacrifice something that requires a lot of focus, which were his videos.
Micheal Hickox was perhaps one of the greatest Lego animators at the time. But as time goes by, you realize nothing lasts forever. He had to sign off at some point. Now while I wasn’t expecting a sudden one, he knew he had to do what he had to do. Now if none of those things happened, would he still continue making videos? Maybe, but he’d have to leave at some point. Either for something he’d want to tell or not. But instead of being upset about his departure, let’s appreciate everything he did. Years of animating, editing, developing, all for us to be happy. Who knows, maybe today he’s looking back on his channel and smiling at all he’s created. Maybe he might come back one day. But if not, he had his time, why not begin yours? Surely you have ideas for stop motion right? Develop your own stories and make the next generation happy. Carry his legacy for your own. And one day, you’ll feel like Michael himself, and have your own start and end.
Thank you Michael, for everything.
Thanks for making this comment for us, im so sad that he’s gone but I’m happy for this absolute legend’s future and really hope he flourishes in the future. Bro carried my childhood and me my sister and my friend used to watch and laugh at these vids so much and I remember being so hyped for the next pizza delivery video. If ur reading this micheal, thank you. - TheAllduck
This was beautiful my friend and you are right
youtube was done for when google bought it. killin my childhood slowly and dirty....
Great comment my guy. While this is sad news I feel it's right I'm a way. It may be sad to see him go, but we'll always have the memories of these videos.
You honestly can’t blame him for wanting to leave mainly because of CZcams algorithms. He even talked about this in a Q&A video back in 2019. There he stated that it was difficult for him to make a long video and put a lot of work into it, only for it to get very little views because of the algorithms.
Ive used to watch these videos back then, it looks like he stopped making videos. Thank you for making these awesome stop motion vids man, they were the best. Hope your planning on doing this again, but for now. Thank you 🤘
Same these were some Of the best Lego vids I’ve seen
I also watch it, to remember my childhood 😂 nostalgic
I'd loved this channel since I was a little boy
I liked this channel, too!❤
Jesus, I didnt know me typing a comment in his comment section would make everyone else type a comment
Michael Hickox’s videos are one of the reasons that got me into Lego when I was 9. Ten years later, I became a design major college student, and during this morning, we learned about stop-motion animation, and the professor showed the class the “Lego Mini Golf” video as an example. The nostalgia hit hard as hell. I came to his channel to see how he has been doing, and it seems like he has stopped making Lego videos. Whatever the reason is, I wish you the best, Michael, and thank you for being a part of our childhood.
Update: nvm it seems like he's back so yay
some older videos popped up in my recommended and sad to see that there hasn't been anything in a few years, but nice to see that people are remembering even from a few days ago. loved watching these videos as a kid and got me into doing Lego stop motion a bunch when I was younger. Hopefully some day we get some more
We allowed to comment again, I remember we can't comment anything because it was made for kids
I could have sworn the comments weren’t open before. Hope you’re doing well Michael!
Thank you Michael for everyting.
RIP Michaelhickoxfilm
So I've just figured out what happened to Michael, so he actually left youtube after this video due to dissatisfaction with the updates to the partner program and the fact that potential sponsors have cut back on their budgets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. He has returned to his old job at an Ohio based technology company. This channel was part of my childhood so I am sad he left CZcams, but it’s great he is still alive and doing well.
EDIT: HE'S BACK!
Thanks for the info it's a shame.
It's sad, but hey, dude needs to make money. And to do so in a stable manner that he's happy with.
Hopefully he comes back sometime, even if just as a hobby. For now though, I'm just glad he's alive and doing okay. The videos he's given us already are fantastic, and always fun to watch.
My childhood channel
2 years have passed and everyday I have checked to see if he’s back please don’t be gone I love your videos the only reason why I love Lego now is because of your videos they’re amazing and so fun and bring back my childhood I need these
He is dead
@@peteralbergpringles6680he is fr?
@@peteralbergpringles6680It is not true, he retired because he was dissatisfied with the platform, in addition to the fact that with the pandemic some channel partners had to withdraw.
@@user-tu9qp3jq1r he couldve said something instead of just leaving out of nowhere and let us know he wasn’t going to upload anymore
He's back
Watched all your videos when I was younger, I’d love to see you back on here, not just for me but for other kids to have something good to watch, thanks for all of the content though!
as someone who's watched almost all his videos (and some more times then i can count) i have allways been inspired by Michael i hope whatever Michaels doing now he enjoys as sad as it is im still going to watch his videos in hopes of one day he reterns we love you Michael may you be blessed in every thing you do and know that you made millions happy putting smils on everyones face and if you ever come back we will all be here waiting for you as if you never left you will reman in my hart putting a smile when i am sad and relive me when i get home from work God bless you and every thing you do we love you :)
WHERE IS HE
Thank you Michael for the childhood memories
Hey Michael! I see you stopped posting videos, I just wanna say turns out you actually live about 20 minutes away from me which I found super crazy, also I attended the LEGO event at the Cleveland science center when I was young and that’s where I met you in person! Really interesting to know that someone I looked up to in making my own creations, was so close in reality! Thank you mike!
You were my childhood
Oh!! Comments are open!!
I hope you come back to make a short flick every once in a while, you're work got me more into lego stop motion and your work was a huge motivator for me!
This dude inspired me as a kid since I was 5 (now I'm 16). I remember growing up loving his content when I was in the spirit of Lego in 2012 as a little boy, and since then, I'd never stopped loving it and I started Stop motion in 2022 when I was 14 after a Cold January Blizzard in Virginia and Thanks to him, Kroper, Legoanimations6370 and Hamster productions I can make stop motion even though I don't own a Canon camera and I'm on a low budget I can Still make good content and MichaelHickox if your reading this Thank you so much For inspiring me You have Inspired me since I was a 5 year old and also my Real Name is Joshua Giron or my Full name Joshua Alexander Giron

Looks like he stopped making videos. If I don't come back, I'd just like to say thank you for making so much of my childhood on CZcams. You inspired me to create my channel in 2021. Thank you
Pls keep uploading
F
To be honest, Lego doesn’t make the sets like they used to.
The comments are finally back on. They have been off for like 3 years
Surprising since CZcams automatically makes these kid-restricted
Dear Michael HICKOX
I am your biggest fan of your making a stop-motion video, my name is Ray Manchester and I think your video I really enjoyed it watching it and then, making the last video for two years ago and I don't know when you're coming back.
you been making a stop motion video back at 2007-2021 look like you might be giving up or you're having a problem with deadline.
I haven't seen your new video from pass two years or today. and I see what goanna on back at game shaker in the last episode when dan get fired from nickelodeon studio when they're got deadline back in 2019. It looks like this the end your LEGO Stop motion video I just wish I need you are coming back and tell us what happened to it.
I also I wanted to comment you something big I just wish you were coming back to make a Michael Hickox films Movie.
I had seen you're Tim and Ralph series when those guys are a fun character and I having been thinking in my imagination when Tim and ralph goanna on the road trip like my favorite movie dumb and dumber, I come up this title call LEGO TIM AND RALPH MOVIE I hope you like it but that you were done making more video and its sad, that mean can't make anymore to make a Lego stop motion video and I guess it time to say Goodbye Michael Hickox and then I'll be miss you and my dream to make Tim and Ralph movie then I guess my brother doesn't want me to make it to by myself I have all these LEGO to build the scene and then I've got Nintendo to take pictures but It's doesn't goanna work when my brother told me not to.
Anyway, you're a good guy and this mean time to say Goodbye Michael this is my first comment into the last one.
sincerely your fan RAY MANCHESTER🥺
Are you going to make more videos
He's back
Will you ever make another one of these videos?
Where you go
i hope you not quit youtube
2 year's ago and still nothing
He's back guys
I know it's been 2 years but.
Pizza Delivery 9?
I hope he used the box to not Attract the People following him.
Hi Michael! I love your videos and I am an aspiring Lego animator myself. However I must ask where did you go? Have you quit? Are you just working on a really big project? I loved seeing your videos and I would love if you could start uploading again. But if it’s something deeper, than I completely understand, and I just hope that you are having your best life.
When are you gonna continue making more Lego stop motion?
He's back guys
he made a new video 8 days ago
where can i get walking sound effect that he are using?
I have wondered this for years!
@@LoganBrickfilms Very Relatable , that walk sound is just satysfying lol
Looks like youtube might've deleted my comment for posting a link. So this time without having a link i found a source saying he quit youtube to work at a tech company. I hope thats true and you're doing well Michael. You were a huge part of my childhood. Thanks for everything you did ❤️
Can you make new videos?
He has.
Make more vídeos bruh
He's back. Check him out
Please come back, your videos very good
Guys, what if he actually died from the COVID 😢
Lol
2023 anyone ?
nostalgia
You guys the only person that might be able to know what happened to him is GUAVA JUICE keep spamming guava juice in his videos asking what happened to
Him
Tf no don't harass Guava and don't listen to this guy
@@TheHigherUps. it’s called asking okay so people harass guava juice every time they comment 😑 so your saying because people comment “day 100 of asking this” means it’s harrassment? No it doesn’t
@@genrodrigo6234 Don't put words in my mouth. You said to keep spamming so harrass him to you get an answer you didn't even read my last part about how it's personal.
@@TheHigherUps. your saying spamming is harassing when literally everyone does it so they can do what they kee commenting
@@genrodrigo6234 You don't know what spamming is? whatever man your obviously young I'm not gonna keep debating with you
Back Michaelhickoxfilms
