Lego is 80 years old today and what better way to celebrate than with 17 minutes of gorgeous computer generated animation showing us how it all came to be.

So grab the kids, sit back and enjoy this very entertaining history of Lego – it really is beautiful.

Just an aside for Parents -The word “damn” is used. If you’re at all sensitive to the word you might want to pre-screen and then “cough” during that part to cover up the sound 🙂
