Full Cast and Crew The Lego Movie Sequel is an upcoming 3D computer-animated space adventure musical comedy film[2] that will be a sequel to the 2014 film The Lego Movie. It will be the fourth film in the franchise, set to follow the releases of both of the first film's spin-off films, The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie, set to be released in 2017. It is being directed by Mike Mitchell,[1] with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, writers and directors of the first film, returning as producers and co-writers. After it became clear that the first film would become a blockbuster success, a sequel was already in the works even before its release. However, Warner Bros. did not invite Village Roadshow Pictures, the first film's Australian production partner, to participate in the making of the sequel. Currently, there has been no indication as to whether any cast members from the original film, such as Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman, will reprise their roles in the sequel.
The film is set to be released on February 8, 2019 in 2D, 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D by Warner Bros. Pictures. Even before the critical acclaim and blockbuster success of The Lego Movie, plans for a sequel had already been set in motion. On February 3, 2014, Jared Stern was hired to write the sequel, along with Michelle Morgan.[3] On March 12, 2014, Deadline reported that animation co-director Chris McKay will direct the sequel with Lord and Miller as producers.[4] Warner Bros. did not invite co-producer Village Roadshow Pictures to return as a participant in the sequel.[5] On April 10, 2014, it was reported that McKay wanted to have more women in the sequel than men.[6] On July 28, 2014, it was reported that Chris Pratt wants to return to reprise his role as Emmet. It was also reported that Will Arnett might return to reprise his role as Batman, but has not decided yet.[7] However, he has reprised his role as Batman in The Lego Batman Movie. In October 2014, Warner Bros. scheduled The Lego Batman Movie for 2017, and The Lego Movie 2 for 2018.
[9] On October 25, 2014, it was reported that Lord and Miller had signed on to write The Lego Movie 2.[10] On October 30, it was announced that Australia-based animation studio Animal Logic was in talks to produce the next three Lego films (though the deal was not finalized at the time) and the New South Wales government would make financial contributions to all the films.[11] On November 12, during an interview with BBC News, Lord and Miller revealed that there would be more female characters featuring in the film. On February 24, 2015, the sequel was officially titled The Lego Movie Sequel and Rob Schrab was officially announced as the film's director, replacing McKay as director as he was scheduled to direct The Lego Batman Movie instead.[13] By February 2017, Schrab had been replaced by Mike Mitchell, reportedly due to "creative differences". The film is scheduled to be released on February 8, 2019.[14] It was originally scheduled to be released in May 2017,[15] but the release date was later assigned to The Lego Batman Movie, which was itself rescheduled for release on February 10, 2017.
At that time, the film was planned to release on May 18, 2018. ^ a b c d e f Sign In or Join to save for later Genre: Family and Kids Running Time: 100 minutes What parents need to know Parents Need to Know LEGO Batman: The Movie -- DC Superheroes Unite LEGO: The Adventures of Clutch Powers LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu Top advice and articles What parents and kids say The LEGO movie follows Emmet, who is on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the universe together, a journey for which he is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Add to your list? appreciating and celebrating what is special about oneself being a conformist versus an individualist PROPHECY and the Bible Sequel: “The LEGO Batman Movie” (2017)Emmett (voiced by Chris Pratt), in the world of LEGOs, is nothing special. He, along with his “friends,” work in a construction yard, with everyone getting along and everything going exactly as planned. Emmett has the perfect life. One day, while he is out working in the yard, he notices some suspicious activity from a female LEGO. Emmett warns her she is trespassing on construction property and needs to leave. When she refuses to listen, he follows her and accidentally falls down a giant hole. Inside the hole, he discovers a powerful gem buried in the ground. After carelessly touching the gem, he blacks out, only to find himself in a police station, being questioned by Bad Cop (Liam Neeson) about why he was down there and what he knows about the gem.
Just then, the mysterious girl we met earlier, whose name we learn is Wyldstyle (voiced by Elizabeth Banks), rescues him and helps him escape from police custody. She explains that he is the “Special,” the one person who is prophesied to, with the help of the other Master Builders, free the LEGOs from the tyranny of President Business (Will Ferrell), whose goal is to achieve world domination through force of will. Follow Emmett, Wyldstyle, Vitruvius, and Batman, as they set out to stop the evil, soon to be, LORD Business from taking over all the LEGO worlds, in a journey about discovering who you are and that being special is something that’s already inside you. I’m sure many of us remember the world of LEGOs growing up. We all remember the excitement we would get when we opened that box, take the pieces out and let our imaginations run wild. In the world of LEGOs, nothing ever needed to make sense. You could create adventures beyond your wildest dreams. Become a pirate, an astronaut, whatever you wanted!
This was the source of entertainment, before the era of advanced cell phones, video games, and tablets, that broadened the creativity spectrum, and still does for children around the world even today. Its nostalgic qualities live on. I’ll be completely honest. I have been excited, like many, for “The LEGO Movie” for quite some time now. Action, adventure, and comedy… this film had promise. Add an all start cast of talented actors (Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman, Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, and even Will Ferrell) and you have one well developed, brilliantly animated, heartfelt movie that touches every age, from childhood to adulthood. There iss not a single moment in this film where I questioned the filmmaker’s choices. The elements surrounding this film are perfect in every category. The animation, intentionally choppy but brilliantly done, give the feeling that I am playing with LEGOs. The story, while heavy with action sequences (none that were overkill or to be taken with caution), is heartfelt, funny, and sentimental to a point (no spoilers, I promise).
While the lesson from the film is one to expect from a children’s movie (which, trust, me this movie goes for everyone, not just children), also delivers said message in an appropriate, easy to understand, heartfelt manner. Lastly, but certainly not the least, are the performances. I was expecting a good performance, but not THIS good. Not a single voice is out of place. The humor from all the actors is just right, although there are jokes that are going to go over most children’s heads. I could easily write a lengthy review of everything that was right in this film, but it would take forever to finish. Directors Lord and Miller are hitting audiences with all the right elements, and their impressive work in this film is nothing short of commendable and appreciative.Most of the violence in the LEGO movie is humorous and comes in the form of LEGO explosions, gunfire and fight sequences, some chase scenes and the death of one character. But, what I really need to stress here is that this violence, while it is present, is not to be taken seriously.
Think of a giant game of “pretend.”I didn’t hear too much that caught me off guard. Language is limited to “butt,” “losers,” “darn” and “gosh.”There are a couple scenes where a television show is promoted, called “Where’s my Pants?”, and we see a pants-less LEGO. Emmett also walks out onto his balcony naked in one scene. One scene is also shown where a LEGO cop photocopies his butt (traditional LEGO bricks). Other: The Robot army of President Business’ is a little creepy, even for me. The whole theme surrounding the LEGO movie is the idea of being special, and that becoming special means believing that you are special in the first place. Vitruvius speaks to Emmett about how his need to have instructions and to follow them are what make him unique but also give him the ability to blend in with the other LEGOs. Our Lord God thinks of us in a similar way. Genesis 1:26 reads, “Let us make man in our own image, in our likeness.” Later in Jeremiah 1:5, the Lord says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations” (ESV). God made us both in His image and each unique. That is something, as Christians, we can take pride in and let it drive us to do great things in God’s name. “The LEGO Movie” brings a sense of nostalgia attached to it. When I walked into the theater this afternoon, the primary audience was children and their parents. During the film, I’m pretty sure that the kids weren’t the ONLY ones laughing and enjoying the movie (I know I was!). I STRONGLY recommend the LEGO film to everyone. I don’t remember the last time I’ve enjoyed a children’s film this much (perhaps “Despicable Me”). I’m really hoping this is nominated for the Oscars® next year. There is some minor objectionable content to be aware of, but this should be of no great concern to most parents. Bring your children, drag the teenagers, and spend the ticket price on “The LEGO Movie.” It truly is something… Violence: Moderate / Profanity: None / Sex/Nudity: Mild
