Here is the synopsis of "Brick Like Me":

Homer wakes up in a world where his family and everyone in Springfield are made of Legos and must"put together" how he got there to get home in the milestone 550th "Brick Like Me"; episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, May 4 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Check out the first trailer for this new episode, showcasing the exciting mix of The Simpsons and LEGO here:

"I think it's just as good and it's free," executive producer Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly when asked how this episode will compare to The Lego Movie.

He added: "If anyone out there has an idea for a new material that the Simpsons can be made out of, please write to us. Cardboard? Yarn? Anything is up for grabs."

"We're always looking for cool, visual things to do with the show that will surprise people," producer Brian Kelly said. "So Matt [Selman, another producer] and I were trying to kick around ideas for a show and Matt suggested a Lego CGI episode." 

Selman added: "We didn't know about the movie at that point. For the record, we still don't know about the movie. [Laughs] Brian and I had been dreaming of doing a Simpsons Lego episode for as long as we could remember, and in early 2012 we started seriously talking about making it happen. Then we found out that Lego was into doing a Simpsons couch gag. So it was a magical coming-together of pretend yellow people."
