Child accidentally knocks over $15000 Lego statue

The intricate model of Nick, a character from the Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS) movie “Zootopia”, was nearly human-size. Of course, this is unlike the parents of the two out of control kids who broke a piece of art at a Shanghai museum last month.

Unfortunately, a child was able to sneak under the exhibit’s rope barrier around the sculpture within the first hour of opening and managed to push the sculpture over.

Zhao was reportedly as “understanding as one could be”, saying the child could have no idea how much time, effort and money went into the statue.

Even though the piece was held together with a light adhesive, it could not survive being pushed over. He also blamed Wanda employees who were not careful enough to protect his work.

Zhoa posted on social media site Weibo, under the name Mi zhi ALiu, pictures of construction, the finished Lego fox, and the smashed remnants of the 15k sculpture on 29 May.

The intricate statue was placed on display in a mall in Ningbo, China, where children were allowed to pose with it for photos. Sadly, the statue was only partially sealed with glue, meaning less than one third of the artwork remained intact.

“Now those bricks can become something else”, Deakin said.
