24 Days of Christmas Geekiness: Nightmare Before Christmas – What’s This?

In here they’ve got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?

They’re covering it with tiny little things
They’ve got electric lights on strings
And there’s a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I’m wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What’s this?

Cars 2 Trailer in Lego

Patrick Boivin was commissioned to remake the Cars 2 trailer in LEGO. You’ll see some animated facial expressions because how else was he supposed to animate the cars faces. Very amazing.

Some fun facts:

• Several thousand LEGO bricks were used to create the trailer
• 3 months of animation
• Was recorded 24 frames/second like the movie; it’s not common to directing stop-motion at 24 frames/second
