Danish toymaker Lego has released a whimsical new ad in time for the holiday season that encourages kids to rebuild and remix its products in whatever way their imagination calls for.

The spot, developed by Lego’s in-house agency, features Star Wars stormtroopers retreating from a swarm of bees, a dragon trained to put out fires rather than start them, and cacti wearing padded jackets to better facilitate a friendly hug. The action is set to a version of The Foundations’ pop classic, Build Me Up Buttercup, with new lyrics encouraging kids to embrace their creative sides.

Keen eyes will spot a range of Lego Systems sets in the ad, alongside its licensed tie-in kits – from routed First Order Stormtroopers to a flyby from the Milano, the spaceship of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
