A Lego statue of a character from the film Zootopia was shattered by a four-year-old boy just hours after going on display in Ningbo, China.

Constructors spent three days and nights building the effigy of fox Nick Wilde, the charming con artist in the film, which was named Zootropolis when it came out in the UK. The statue is said to have cost more than 100,000 yuan (£10,382) and, as the construction was only partially glued, cannot be easily reconstructed.
