This Michael Jackson tribute is pretty unusual in that it features the late pop star moonwalking in LEGO. Bet you didn't see that one coming. Created by Annette Jung from Berlin animation studio Talking Animals, Lego Dance is a 30 second animation of the late king of pop doing the moonwalk and other high energy dance moves.
MJ's silhouette is distinctive in his skinny black trousers, with an open tuxedo, white shirt, spats and a bowed wide brimmed hat. Watch as the much mourned star dances and grooves his way through this quirky and highly entertaining animated short. The Berlin based animation studio behind this video are a group of young graduates from the 'Konrad Wolf' in Babelsberg. They founded the animation studio in 2009.
