VIDEO: Teenager recreates famous movie scenes with Lego

Is there anything Lego can’t do? The Danish construction blocks are more than just a humble kids toy these days. They’re now a force to be reckoned with at the box office thanks to hits like “The Lego Movie,” and there’s seemingly a new Lego video game released every time we turn around.

But the physical bricks are still the heart and soul of the toy. More than just a plaything, Lego has recently become a real boon to amateur filmmakers on the web. Anyone with a camera, an affinity for building, and a knack for animation can use the plastic building blocks to create some pretty amazing things.

One such filmmaker is 15-year-old Morgan Spence. The Scottish teen started animating films using Lego a few years ago for a school project and hasn’t looked back. His latest creation is a montage of famous movie scenes reimagined with Lego bricks and minifigures.

Using the original audio and sound effects, Spence has recreated scenes from movies like “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Titanic,” to “Pulp Fiction,” “The Shining,” “Life of Pi,” “Dirty Dancing” and everything in between. If you ever wanted to see what “The Wizard of Oz” would look like made out of Lego, then this is the video for you. The short film was made to promote Spence’s upcoming book “Brick Flicks: 60 Cult Movie Scenes & Posters Made from Lego.” Yes, he’s an author, too. What have you done lately?

Unsurprisingly, Spence is interested in becoming a professional filmmaker when he’s older. Judging by this video and his work, it’s safe to say that he’s well on his way.
