Build anything.

Lego in the city. This is an advert I made for Lego. It uses pieces from the stash my brother and I used to play with when we were younger, so perhaps it looks a bit dated compared with modern day Lego. Dated, but still great. Temujin Doran makes a short film. (More from Doran.)

The usual Lego ad or video or whatever is full of overthought, overwrought adult sensibilities and delusions of pseudo art and pseudo grandeur

This is charming and delightful.

Same author, 'same' topic

LEGO mall stores are amazing nowadays. They run giveaway build events, hold clever new board games (lego pictionary. bricktionary?) and hold row after row of color coded bricks to buy by the bucket. 10 years too late to enjoy :(

Lies. It is never too late to enjoy Lego.

Temujin Doran makes a short film commercial.

Seriously. It's a real-ass bona fide commercial for Lego. 100% Pepsi Brick.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

(I giggled at the bit with the trees.)

He really caught that cheerful, engaging quality that brings kids to Lego and makes them want to build.

The woman's umbrella is my favorite.
