A friend turned me onto this awesome animated video for Fujiya & Miyagi’s "Ankle Injuries."
Seems kinda familiar, don’t it? Like, say, this 2002 video of The White Stripes’ "Fell In Love With a Girl" by director Michel Gondry? (Check out the earlier clip after the jump, then compare and contrast in the comments.)
So, PopWatchers, is the Fujiya & Miyagi video a ripoff of the Stripes’ clip? Or a brilliant homage that takes it to the next level?

I say homage. It’s not really similar enough to be a rip off and I think it takes it a step further. Both are awesome videos.
i agree! they are both great!

Man, it’s neither. It’s just two directors using a pixelized approach to their tasks at hand. If anything they both remind me of early computer games, but that’s because of how basic the graphics are.
Who cares…that song is terrible.
Legos & dice aren’t the same.
