>> The Game Theorists (Gamers) - Matthew Patrick of the widely-popular YouTube series Game Theory presents a 15-minute in-depth analysis of the science behind creating hybrid dinosaurs, inspired by custom dinosaur game feature in LEGO Jurassic World. (Watch here)
>> Tobuscus (Pop Culture Enthusiasts) - Toby Turner belts out a comedic-musical "literal" version of the LEGO Jurassic World official launch trailer in his signature style. (Watch here)
>> Mediocre Films (Families) - YouTube prankster Greg Benson polls local gamers about LEGO games and dinosaurs while perfecting his microphone skills in a special LEGO Jurassic World edition of his recurring man-on-the-street segment. (Watch here)
The campaign amassed 3.9 million combined YouTube views to date, influencing sales to make LEGO Jurassic World a Top 5 best-selling videogame title in its first three months, including the No. 1 spot in July 2015.
