Lego Matrix

I found this fascinating quote today:

Here's a Lego diorama of one of the best scenes of Matrix Revolutions: Zion's last stand against the Matrix, humans in their mechas against merciless Sentinels. The close-up of the human resistance mecha begs for an official Lego version.Take the Walkman 30th Birthday Quiz, Jun 2009

Video: Disneyland Resort Celebrates Summer Nightastic! With New Shows, Surprises in the Night Sky and Valuable Offers:

"Nighttime entertainment, always an exciting part of summer at Disneyland Resort, appears in a whole new light - bigger, bolder and brighter - during Summer Nightastic! Dumbo makes his debut in the sky above Sleeping Beauty Castle in the 'Magical' fireworks spectacular and Tinker Bell leads the way in 'Disney's Electrical Parade.' New creatures will thrill guests in this summer's 'Fantasmic!' show, rockin' bands and DJs heat up a great new dance club in Tomorrowland and the fairies of Pixie Hollow play under the lights for the first time. Later this summer, a new, 40-foot-tall dragon will breathe fire across the Rivers of America in 'Fantasmic!'"
