Lil Dicky “Earth” Music Video by 3dar and Ryot

Directors Nigel Tierney and Federico Heller rally a feature film-sized crew at Buenos Aires studio 3dar to create the most ambitious and star-studded animated music video you may ever witness.

At the 1:40 mark of “Earth,” Lil Dicky (aka rapper/comedian David Andrew Burd) enters a CG world and the fun begins. The next five minutes are a spectacular soft-shelled romp/pitch for welovetheearth.org with voice cameos from…

…Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Halsey, Zac Brown, Brendon Urie, Hailee Steinfeld, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Kevin Hart, Adam Levine, Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, SIA, Miley Cyrus, Lil Jon, Rita Ora, Miguel, Katy Perry, Lil Yachty, Ed Sheeran, Meghan Trainor, Joel Embiid, Tory Lanez, John Legend, Backstreet Boys, Bad Bunny, Psy, Kris Wu, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
