See MJ reanimated, brick by brick
Michael Jackson's legendary music video / short movie 'Thriller' has been painstakingly recreated entirely with Lego. Watch the clip below.
The short film by Annette Jung of Talking-Animals studio in Berlin sees the video remade brick by brick, quite literally.
It's a very impressive effort, following on in a similar vein from music videos such as The White Stripes' 'Fell In Love With A Girl' by Michel Gondry and a Lego recreation of LCD Soundsystem's 'All My Friends' by Youtube user Cometgreen.

Earlier this week, Pharrell Williams paid tribute to MJ when GQ Style magazine quizzed him about comparisons with with the Bad superstar.
"That's like, incredibly generous and kind and overreaching," said Pharrell. "That's hard for me to process. I could never dance like him. He had everything. He was where I realised can do-ness because he never lived with boundaries. He kind of lived with no time... I've not met many people like that, who don't perceive parameters.
"Michael was teetering on that line of genius and insanity and you've never seen anyone walking that tightrope for so long and he did. That man was a special one".
