Edul Young’s Beauty and the Beast-themed music box, constructed from LEGO, is just fantastic in every way, from the attention he’s paid to the character models (the Beast head is Chewbacca! Belle’s dress is minifig arms!) down to the way he’s integrated the working music box internals into the LEGO cathedral. It’s the kind of modeling that at first seems clumsy but reveals its ingenuity as you study each piece selected.

This is just full of WIN.
The Beast looks like Chewbacca riding an SCV from Starcraft, in a very awesome way. Great use of Lego!

Oh Joel, I <3 it too … I’ll sing the girl bits if you do the boy bits!!!
How beautiful! A college nearby did Beauty and the Beast, with the Disney script, live with full orchestra, and it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
Wait…what? Chewbacca with a mohawk as the Beast?
How is that-… who’s idea was- … oh, whatever.
@6, it’s not actually Chewie, it’s a wookie from one of the Revenge of the Sith sets.
/don’t ask
Ah – I see now, this was put together by a fellow, not a set sold by the company. Oooookay.
I thought LEGO was being half-assed just throwing a wookie head on there thinking no one would notice.
Now, I love that he used a wookie head- that’s a great idea!
It pays to pay attention before posting
