Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2015)

The Lego Movie (2014): Dir: Phil Lord, Chris Miller / Voices: Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Liam Neeson: One of the most original and impressive animations since Toy Story. Physically it regards the building toy blocks that have been around for decades. It also symbolizes the building of friendship and loyalty. Chris Pratt voices Emmet an average construction worker who comes across a mysterious female rebel named Wyldstyle. When he falls down a hole he is arrested and learns that he has a piece of the resistance attached to him. The villain is Lord Business whose war is against anything that disturbs his view of normality. He plans to use a substance called the Kragle, which is a tube of Krazy Glue with certain letters rubbed out. This is being used to glue the universe in place. Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller whose previous credits include the overrated 21 Jump Street. Emmet is the portrait of the average joe and indicates that everyone is important and gifted. Emmet is not that intelligent yet has the amusing ability to come up with bizarre ideas. Elizabeth Banks voices the rebellious Wydestyle who is out to find her importance. Will Arnett steals moments voicing Batman who is Wydestyle's boyfriend. Will Ferrell voices the tyrant Lord Business as well as appear in reality as a struggling father. Liam Neeson steals moments voicing Good Cop / Bad Cop who is the henchmen of Lord Business. There is also a host of other popular pop culture characters as well as hilarious references that will allow adults to build on enthusiasm as well as children. Score: 9 / 10
