Build your own world.
That’s what I love about Lego bricks. You grab a bunch of plastic slabs of all sizes and shapes, start smacking them together and you can make, well, anything.
Of course, most of what I made consisted of large plastic brick-shaped things of varying thicknesses that I pretended were something else because I’m not really all that good with creating stuff out of interlocking plastic bricks. Still, I understand that there are people who are pretty good at that sort of thing.
They’re probably the ones who got hired to help make The LEGO® Movie. Yes, there really is such a thing. And, to tell the truth, it looks AMAZING!
It’s not an hour and a half of little dudes and dudettes sitting around looking for the yellow brick. No, not that one. The one with the six bumps. No, that one has a square end on both sides, you idiot. I’m talking about the one with the slanted off- Yes. That one. The one you were sitting on the whole time.
Because, frankly, that would be stupid.
This The LEGO® Movie is a whole lot better looking than that second paragraph back. I started laughing out loud several times during the trailer and that’s always a good sign. And Batman is funny. Really funny. Who’da thunk it?
As a parent, I’m giving ya’ll this heads up so you also can be ready to withstand the barrage of “WANTWANTWANTWANT!” when the movie finally comes out. This way you’ll know what the little dude is screaming about and you might even be just as geeked up to see the show.
I know I am.
