Our take on The Lego Movie
Phil Lord's 2014 animated adventure follows an utterly ordinary Lego mini-figure, mistaken for a legendary MasterBuilder, who gets swept into a quest to stop a tyrannical Lego overlord from conquering the universe. Bursting with rapid gags, pop-culture riffs and a bright, brick-built visual style, it works as both breakneck family entertainment and a sly commentary on conformity versus creativity. Beneath the frantic surface sits a surprisingly heartfelt idea about the value of imagination and being told you're special. It suits families and adults alike, rewarding attention with jokes pitched at every level. If you want animation that's clever, kinetic and genuinely funny, this is a joyful choice.
