Films and the cinema provide a lot of great inspiration for LEGO builders all over the world. You’ll find LEGO models inspired by everything from Mad Max to Toy Story here.

Avatar Thanator beast built from Bionicle

I suspect I’m the last person on the planet who hasn’t seen Avatar yet (though I’ve never watched James Cameron’s Titanic either). Harvey Cu seems to have caught a showing of the latest epic, resulting in a rather nice Thanator beast:

Backlog of goodness

Luis Baixinho uploaded a mountain of backlog pictures, and it’s full of greatness. Beyond the sheer coolness of each creation, the great thing is the variety in the types of builds he does. First this Star Trek shuttle . . .

. . . then this great butterfly.

Fantastic range for a single builder.

Daedalus landing

I’m still trying to recover from shock knowing that a 15-year-old built this. I thought Sven Junga‘s earlier Juggernaut had set the bar for what TFOLs are capable of, but this diorama from Stargate Atlantis clearly blows me away.

The Daedalus ship itself is already an impressive stand-alone piece. The texture of the hull nicely resembles the thick metal armor on many sci-fi spaceships.

3D Jaws movie poster

Here’s another innovative piece from Alex Schranz (Orion Pax), depicting the Jaws poster in 3D. Many Patricks were decapitated in the making of this creation.

Warning: contamination detected

This CDA agent from Monsters Inc. by Dave & John Xandegar is ready to clean up any contaminants, even if it means popping a giant cone around your head.

LEGO Peter Griffin

Eric Hunter‘s 2ft. tall LEGO Peter Griffin sculpture has a grin that’ll crack your television set, in a good way that is.

MacLane scores 1,000,000 Points to become Campeon del Mundo

1,000,000 Points is what Angus MacLane wins for building the cast of my favorite show on TV, 30 Rock. Here’s Frank Rossitano (Judah Friedlander), complete with trucker hat:

…plus four more, including the lovely Liz Lemon:

I want to go to there.

Mike Wazowski experiences a rather nasty surprise

Iain Heath (Ochre Jelly) makes a rather hilarious connection between Mike from Monsters, Inc. and a Granny Smith apple. Jaw-dropping indeed.

For a bonus Monsters, Inc. LEGO creation, here’s “Boo’s Door” by Alex Eylar:

Rainbow Brite brings color to the world

Since I wasn’t around when the mid-80’s cartoon Rainbow Brite debuted, I’ll assume the ignorant blogger in writing this post. For those who are old enough to have watched the show back in the day, these figures by Dave Sterling should evoke a pleasant trip down memory lane, one which you can relive over and over by purchasing these figures from Creations for Charity.

Thank you Dave Shaddix for the reminder to blog this :)

Cars!

It looks like Angus MacLane is at it again. This time, he’s built Luigi from the Pixar film Cars. This LEGO rendition is just as funny and cute as the original.

I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise when someone who works at Pixar builds something from their movies. What continues to be impressive is how great Angus’s models end up being.

I would put a tax on all people who stand in water!

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing John Cleese in person last night at the Moore Theatre in Seattle. As my first post after being away for a couple of weeks, I have the distinct pleasure tonight of blogging this CubeDude Gumby by Iain Heath (Ochre Jelly):

Happy Halloween 2009!

Ok, so I’m jumping the gun by a couple of days, but I couldn’t pass up Keith Goldman‘s latest creation. The lighting is just gorgeous.
