Watch 'The Hunger Games' Reenacted by Beanie Babies

If you haven’t had enough Hunger Games hype this weekend, we’ve got a pretty plush treat for you. “The Beanie Baby Hunger Games,” created by Jeff Luppino-Esposito & Jamie T. McCelland, is exactly what it sounds like — The Hunger Games acted out by Beanie Babies — and it’s actually remarkably true to the books. Follow stuffed blue jay “Katniss Everbean” as she volunteers at the reaping, heads to the Capitol (which looks suspiciously like Times Square), and is hurled into the games themselves, with good old Peeta, a bright yellow duck, at her side. Not only is this a clever, well-executed idea, we also think it’s a pretty solid way to make use of all those old Beanie Babies — after all, you know you’ve always wanted to set at least a couple of them on fire. Click through to watch the video, and let us know how you think it holds up against the actual film in the comments.

This rivals "The Fellowship of the Peep" when someone re-created LOTR:FOTR out of Peeps candies. I love it!

great idea, and incredibly faithful to the books! Also: really cute. Loved it!

I never laugh so hard! I liked it better than the movie! Somehow this is truer to the book and seems to cover more of the book in 11 minutes than the movie does in 2.5 hours.

Amazing... got more of the key components of the story line in there than the actual movie did! :-D

Not the Princess Di bear as President Snow! Nooo! But awesome overall.

Extraordinary work! I even cried a little bit, when Rue died.

Hilarious! So many beans spilled at the cornucopia... Loved the tracker jackers. Great work!

The funniest thing I have seen in a long time and remarkably true to the original. Hilarious.

quite possibly the most amazing thing i've ever seen. can't. stop. laughing.
