This Slow-Motion Rain of LEGOs is Your Surprisingly Soothing Way to Start the Morning

The Slow Mo Guys are returning to their childhoods this week, if only to blow up whatever they find there — and film it in slow motion, of course. I mean, that is kind of their thing. While the duo’s initial experiment — detonating a picturesque LEGO house, wookiees and all — doesn’t go exactly as planned, the frustration it induces results in an unlikely work of art. So if you’ve ever wondered whether a box full of children’s building blocks being blasted into the sky and then raining down in dreamlike slow motion is kind of beautiful, this is your chance to find out. (Spoiler alert: It totally is.)
