A fresh breath in the animated movie genre

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2014)

I went into this movie with very low expectations and I left feeling like an idiot for doubting it so much. First of all, going in I didn't take into account that the writers of 21 Jump Street made this movie and I loved that movie. So let's start with the story, while being a little clunky at times it's still very enjoyable and the story behind why all this is happening (and I won't spoil it) made this movie go from good to great. Too amazing. The animation in this movie is so incredibly creative. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING including smoke, water and explosions are made with LEGOS. I would've never thought to do something like that and I loved it. Enough that I saw this movie in theaters twice on the same day just cause I wanted to see all of that again. The over the top animation of the characters with the acting is hilarious. In the words of the movie's theme song, everything is awesome!
