As "The Lego Movie" proved, those little plastic bricks are very versatile, something a father-daughter duo put on display with an awesome, adorable video that recreates scenes from "Jurassic Park" using only the toy.
The clip is visually stunning, remaining quite faithful to small moments from the film (the rippling water glass signaling the T-rex is coming, the brachiosaurus sneezing in Lex's face, the animated Mr. DNA video) and big set pieces alike (the climactic showdown at the visitors center between the T-rex and the velociraptors), all while maintaining an air of humor and charm (Samuel L. Jackson's famous quip "Hold onto your butts" becomes "Hold onto your bricks"). The minifigs (a.k.a. Lego people) are especially true to the movie's characters, most noticeably Ian Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum in the 1993 flick), who comes complete with a pompadour and black sunglasses.

Jurassic Park has been condensed down to three minutes in an impressive Lego stop-motion short.
A father and daughter team created the video using over $100,000 worth of Lego, recreating some of the 1993 film's most iconic moments.
Lego versions of Dr Ian Malcolm, John Hammond and Dr Ellie Sattler are all included in the clip, which includes scenes such as Tim getting electrocuted.
Paul Hollingsworth said that he wanted to create the video to prove to daughter Hailee that they "could do anything with Lego".
The pair built all of the sets included in the clip, with their friends lending their voices to the project.
