A great short video using Lego.

Following the recent Greenpeace campaign urging toymaker Lego to honour its environmental commitment and stop selling Shell-branded bricks, creative agency Don’t Panic has produced this withering video to promote the movement.

Beginning with beautifully shot scenes of Arctic animals and Inuits, set to a serene soundtrack, proclaiming “everything is awesome”, the movie starts off pleasantly. The mood begins to change when Shell-branded toys make an appearance. Overseen by a cigar-puffing fat-cat, drilling begins and the entire landscape is quickly enveloped by slick, black oil.
