High concept and self aware film

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2020)

Right out of the gates, you know this animated film is self aware. The Lego designs are exactly like some from my childhood, and the characters interact with the world just like we would. On paper this might've sounded like another tiresome toy manufacturers attempt to target another medium, but that's definitely not the case. The filmmakers are the key here and they continue a successful streak of comedy films. Their humour is very sharp and they push this self aware nature through the storyline. Strong cast and vast supply of cameo voices throughout. Interesting film and deserved a sequel.
