What can I say?

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2019)

Everything is Awesome? Everything in the movie is Awesome? The Lego Movie is Awesome. There we go. This is easily one of my favourite animated films of all time and one of my favourite movies in general. It's not only what I think to be Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's second best film (second to Spider-Verse) but there's just something about it that is so sweetly and charmingly nostalgic about it to me, not just the fact that it's Lego (although that is a main reason why this film resonates with me and many others). Maybe it's the outstanding animation, the self-aware and clever humour, or the messages about Lego and different builders being unique, or maybe just all of them together. But most of all, this film just makes me happy. There is never a dull moment in this film and it definitely deserves every single bit of praise it has gotten over the years.
