Yahoo! has come up with a stop-motion lego version of the Wire, which manages to compress the entire series into four minutes.

I don't know how to embed yahoo videos, so here is the link.

It helps a lot if you've seen The Wire, but the animation is great nonetheless.

The Wire

(warning for profanity and excessive minifig violence)

Edit:

someone already reposted it in lower quality on youtube:

That is really, really great. "Avon Blocksdale," "Duplo Stanfield," etc. The Treme joke between Bunk and McNulty was my favorite.

Great stuff! Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit.

Wow! This is so well done....complete with guns and drills pretending to be guns that fire with real explosions! The voice overs are really outstanding!

I am not a fan of this show....it is too violent, but the Lego version is just delightful! So much minifig animation is really cool!
