An excellent family movie

Everything is awesome!
I just re-seen this movie with my kids and had the urge to write my first movie review in IMDb. I like animated movies a lot. I don't see them just because of the kids. This one is among the best and I will try to explain why:
#It is brilliantly animated. Really, those seem "real" Lego, down to the fingerprints on Emmet. The animation called for a lot of imagination to recreate blockbuster action "special effects" by using only Lego!
# It is heart warming. The are truly naive animation sequences (you smile to the ingenuity portrayed) and the originality of the master builders is, well, awesome. This is an ode to the imagination of a child and the lost ability of adults to see with those dreamer eyes. You will remind yourself of that time.
# It is smart. It has tons of references to Lego history and pop culture. It has jokes to all. It portrays criticism to western way of living, TV culture, capitalism... It makes you think.
#It is funny. Some jokes seem like they are made for you, because of the multiple references to movies, characters, everyday life situations.
I truly enjoyed this movie. It has all the elements right. It feels like a great idea brilliantly explored and polished to perfection. Awesome.
