LEGO of Your Inhibitions

Another advertisement from the Land of People Who Want to Be Toys. What tilt-shift focus is to exterior shots, live-actor stop-motion is to interiors.

Nobody but LEGO can pull this sort of thing off. Can you imagine a Barbie promo in the style of Jan Svankmajer? And it’s an interestingly troubling premise; not enough advertising appeals to childrens’ base motives, the way a good Maurice Sendak or Tove Jansson story does. [thank you, Tim Maly]
