This particular shot is considered to be one of the most iconic in the history of cinema, and its Lego rendition is indeed very faithful to the original.

It's a scene from the 1902 short sci-fi (and high tech!) Georges Melies movie "Le voyage dans la Lune" (A trip to the moon). A classic. See 4.13 into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiDWmXHR3RQ PS. The Melies film was an inspiration for Smashing Pumpkings and their steampunky video for Tonight, tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEvVIgCm1zg Oh, that’s wonderful!
