What do you get when you combine Michael Jackson and Legos? Pure awesomeness.


Annette Jung, Talking Animals animator extraordinaire, first caught our attention in February with her portrayal of Jackson moonwalking using only Lego blocks. At the time, The Huffington Post hoped the director was hard at work creating a "Thriller" animation and it seems our wish has come true.


The Berlin-based comic artist is back with another homage to the King of Pop with a recreation of the opening scenes of "Thriller" using brightly colored Legos.


In the stop-motion visual short, Jung uses Legos in hues of red and blue to show Jackson transforming into a werewolf, as seen in the beginning of the legendary 13-minute music video first aired in 1983. Juxtapoz notes that Jung used the bottom sides of the Legos bricks, which double as pixels, to create shading. She also layered them to create depth.


What do you think of Jung's Lego Jackson? Let us know in the comments section. For more Lego-centric art projects, check out Mike Simpson's "Classics in Legos" project in the slideshow below.
