Keep in mind that scene in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse that confirmed a Lego model of Peter Parker dwelling his greatest blocky life? For those who didn’t know, that phase was animated totally by then 14-year-old animator Preston Mutanga, who caught the filmmaker’s consideration after he recreated the film’s first trailer within the model of a Lego film. It’s been two years, and the now 16-year-old Mutanga continues to be arduous at work constructing scenes and trailers from Lego blocks. His latest initiatives embody making the Grand Theft Auto 6 and Stranger Things trailers appear to be one thing proper out of a child’s toy field, however it’s his newest unbelievable movies which have actually caught my eye: devoted remakes of scenes from KPop Demon Hunters, accomplished in such spectacular style that they may have been an official collaboration between Sony, Netflix, and Lego.
Mutanga has uploaded two movies that includes the Lego variations of Huntr/x to his TikTok account. One is a snippet of one of many coolest elements of the film’s first musical quantity, “How It’s Done,” which exhibits the group skydiving down onto a blocky model of Seoul and kicking some demon booty on the way in which down.
The second is much less action-packed however longer, and lets Mutanga add a cute nod to his Spider-Man roots. It’s a scene, perhaps a 3rd of the way in which into the film, after the demonic Saja Boys boy band has began getting their flirty, attractive demon claws into the hearts and minds of the world. They’ve weakened the Honmoon barrier between the true and demon worlds, and the ladies try to determine what to do whereas sustaining their Kpop lady group cowl. Their supervisor, Bobby, is available in to provide them an replace on their rivals’ newfound virality, and as he scrolls by means of movies of the Boys’ followers dancing to their hit track “Soda Pop,” a well-known webslinger briefly seems on his cellphone.
Mutanga’s unbelievable work speaks for itself, however I’ll say I certain hope somebody over at Lego or Sony is able to give this child a job when he’s of age.
