The Lego Movie

The Lego Movie might seem on the surface like a piece of kid fluff. But it's actually a brilliant movie that works on multiple levels, like Rocky and Bullwinkle used to, with lots of puns: In Lego World, our hero, Emmett, has to search for the legendary Piece of Resistance, for example. Emmett and his band, led by wizard Vituvius (voiced by Morgan Freeman) are battling Lord Business (voiced by Will Ferrell). Lord Business wants to lock down everything in the world with the mysterious Kragle, so that the residents of the various Lego environments can't keep rearranging the carefully constructed buildings and spaceships. After all, it's vitally important to follow the printed directions and not have all this anarchy. But Emmett, Vitusius, Wyldstyle, and the other Master Builders want to go their own way and construct spaceships out of roadways, racecars out of saloons, and pirate ships out of buildings. In the end, Emmett and a small person convince The Man Upstairs that some amount of chaos in the world is not a bad thing.
