Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s 14-Year-Old Animator

Unlike many of the film’s scenes, which were worked on by several animators, the LEGO sequence was made by a single person. The person in question is 14-year-old Preston Mutanga, whose involvement in the project was confirmed by the teenager and several other prominent people who worked on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Mutanga is most notably known for his YouTube channel LegoMe_TheOG, where he posts videos of animated CGI LEGO sequences from various films and TV shows. Prior to the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s release, Mutanga released several videos of him animating sequences from the first Spider-Verse film with LEGO characters.

Most recently, he gained widespread recognition for his CGI LEGO version of the second Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
