Some dads and their kids build LEGO towers. This dad and his eight-year-old daughter recreated Jurassic Park with the popular building bricks — $100,000 worth of them.

Film editor and animation director Paul Hollingsworth and his daughter Hailee are huge LEGO fans and have become an impressive movie-making duo.

They’ve even been featured in a book about their joint passion: Brick Flicks.

In their latest video, which took three months to create, they teamed up with a handful of master builders, animators and artists to bring Spielberg’s epic dinosaur film to life, LEGO-style.

Jurassic Park is one of the best movies of all time. That’s why I wanted to re-create it in Lego,” explained Paul Hollingsworth, whose creative collective, Digital Wizards, has produced a series of LEGO shorts.

Hailee agreed, apparently not too young to appreciate the scary flick. The budding filmmaker even animated the electrocution scene herself.

Watch their stop-motion production above. (Spoiler alert: Although, to be fair, you did have over 20 years to catch up on the plot.)

And get a peek at what it was like behind the scenes in the cute video below.

"I like doing Lego movies with my dad. It’s fun because I can do all these cool voices," Hailee said. “I do all kinds of voices.”

Hailed hosts her own LEGO video series, called Brick Grrl. Watch it here.
