The best animated movie of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2014)

The Lego Movie is a movie about, plainly speaking, Legos. When President Business(Will Ferell), threatens to glue the Lego universe together using an adhesive called Kragle, it is up to the 'MasterBuilder', Emmet Brickowoski(Chris Pratt) to stop him using the Piece of Resistance. Emmett is helped by other MasterBuilders like, Wyldstyle/Lucy(Elizabeth Banks), Batman(Will Arnett), Unikitty(Alison Brie), Benny(Charlie Day), Abraham Lincoln(Will Forte), Wally(Dave Franco), the all-knowing Vitrivius(Morgan Freeman), Superman(Channing Tatum), Wonder Woman(Cobie Smulders), Green Lantern(Jonah Hill), Barry(Jake Johnson), Shaq(Shaquille O'Neal), Metal Beard(Nick Offerman) & Shakespeare(Jorma Taccone). The only problem is, Emmett has never had an original idea throughout his life. Also, standing in the MasterBuilders' way is President Business, Bad Cop/Good Cop(Liam Neeson) & the president's various robotic lackeys.
The Lego Movie is mind numbingly outstanding! The animation is first rate, considering that all the characters & the environment in the movie look like Lego figurines & Lego building blocks. Phil Lord & Chris Miller have proved their directorial skills, once again. The duo's directing skills vary from animated movies like Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs & The Lego Movie to hilarious adult comedies like 21 Jump Street(can't wait for the upcoming sequel, 22 Jump Street). The voice acting is exceptional, with an all-star voice cast. Chris Pratt is brilliant as the protagonist, Emmett Brickowoski. Will Arnett is hysterical as the Lego version of Batman. Elizabeth Banks is great as Wyldstyle/Lucy. Alison Brie is adorable as Unikitty. Charlie Day is eccentric & hilarious as 1980s something space guy, Benny. Will Ferell is diabolical & menacing as President Business. Will Forte is impressive as Abraham Lincoln. Dave Franco is effective as Wally. Morgan Freeman is mind blowing as the wise elder, Vitrivius. Todd Hansen is great as Gandalf. Channing Tatum is outstanding as Superman. Cobie Smulders is good as Wonder Woman. Jonah Hill is spectacular as Green Lantern. I would have liked to see more interaction between Superman & Batman since we have to wait till 2016 for the Batman/Superman crossover film. Jake Johnson is effective as Barry. Liam Neeson shines in his varied portrayal of Bad Cop/Good Cop/Pa Cop. Shaquille O'Neal is effective as Shaq. Nick Offerman is ovation-worthy as pirate, Metal Beard. Anthony Daniels, Keith Ferguson & Billy Dee Williams are great as Star Wars veterans, C-3PO, Han Solo & Lando respectively. The supporting characters are effective as well. The soundtrack is foot-tapping & catchy at the same time. I would like to conclude by saying, The Lego Movie is a must watch & will go down in history as one of the classics, animated or otherwise.
