High-kicking ninjas and Pac-Man: The incredible video homage to 80s video games made entirely out of Lego bricks
It took more than 1,500 hours over eight months and many thousands of Lego bricks.
But two Swedish musicians have achieved youTube fame with this animated tribute to the video games of their youth.
The animation, which lasts just over three and a half minutes, has already had more than seven million views on YouTube.
The three Lego ninjas from the YouTube video, which harks back to the classic 8-bit video games of the 80s
The odd music that plays throughout the video is known as BitPop - electronic music that is played entirely on old 8-bit computers and video game consoles from the 1980s.
The video begins with one of the pair lying down and being covered head to toe in Lego bricks.
It then segues into a fast-paced homage to classic video games from the 19080s which were played on consoles like the Atari, the original Nintendo NES and the classic Commodore 64.
A series of high-kicking ninjas crop up throughout the video and there are sections which reference classic arcade games Tetris and Pac Man among others.
The Swedes, who were formerly known as Rymdreglage, have now changed their name to Ninja Moped because it is easier for non-Swedes to pronounce.
No rundown of classic arcade games would be complete without Pac-Man - rendered in impeccable Lego
Their next project is even odder. They are appealing for funds to build a huge crossbow - more than 60 feet wide - that can be used to propel a collection of pianos more than 300 feet.
They want to to hurls the 62 pianos they have amassed into objects like houses and trees to so that they smash into firewood.
The pair said: 'The whole thing is filmed with a high speed camera in full-HD (1000 fps, 1920x1080) and wait to be history's most beautiful music video.
