A must see animation

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2017)

What happens when you mix parody and product placement for a toy brand into one film? you get yourself The Lego Movie, one of the greatest animations of the 2010's. Plus there is also the great voice acting specially from Liam Neeson who plays bad cop/good cop. The film follows the history of Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt), an ordinary and generic lego construction worker who found the Piece of Resistance and is prophesied to be the "Special One", the hero who will save the universe from lord Business (voiced by Will Farrel). As I said this movie is a parody of chosen one histories where Emmet is "the most interesting, important and talented person of the world" but when he is just a generic lego toy. The irony about this film is that it somewhat criticizes capitalism (the monopoly of big companies , being alienated by these companies, etc.) but it's one of the biggest product placement of all time to be presented in a movie.
