In 2014, movie-goers around the globe were introduced to a whole new animated adventure that would change the cinematic landscape – “The Lego Movie.” Birthed from the brilliant collaboration of Warner Animation Group, Village Roadshow Pictures, Lego System A/S, Vertigo Entertainment, and Lin Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures skillfully took over the distribution reigns.
From the creative minds of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, both of whom directed and co-wrote the story alongside Dan and Kevin Hageman, this film drew its essence from the universally adored Lego construction toys. Showcasing a galaxy of vocal powerhouses such as Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, and Morgan Freeman, to name a few, it’s no wonder the movie received rapturous applause.
For the uninitiated, the storyline masterfully unfurls around Emmet Brickowski (Chris Pratt at his vocal best), an ordinary Lego minifigure. He unexpectedly finds himself drawn into a resistance movement against a controlling businessman (portrayed by Ferrell), who’s hell-bent on sealing the fate of the Lego universe by sticking everything together – literally!
