The Lego Movie
What is it? An animated film based on Lego that sees a generic everyday Lego construction worker swept up in an adventure when he finds out that a prophecy claims that he is “the special”.
If The Lego Movie is Lego’s idea of a two hour advertisement, then sign me up for watching ads all day. As a children’s film, it’s funny, creative and makes great use of all of Lego’s different products and licenses, including some hilarious scenes with Batman as you’ve never seen him before.
The film is driven by some great voice talent including Chris Pratt, Morgan Freeman, Will Ferrell, Nick Offerman, Elizabeth Banks & many more… and as with many children’s films, ends with a heartwarming life lesson.
