Nothing beats legos.  Yes I said it.  I've always wanted to go at the Lego World near my area, but felt like I was way too old for it.  That and also you have to pay to get in.  Anways,  here's a cool animation done mostly with legos.  No specials effects were done with the lego sequences. All legos were stop motion. It was estimated that it took about 1500 man hours to create this.  Enjoy the show and reminiscent of retro gaming.
