He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. Chris Pratt (Moneyball) stars as the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell (The Campaign) stars as the voice of his primary adversary, President Business, an erudite, anal-retentive CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life; while Liam Neeson (Taken and Taken 2, Oscar nominee for Schindler’s List) voices the president’s powerful henchman, known as Bad Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet. Starring as Emmet’s fellow travelers are Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), as Vitruvius, an old mystic; Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games, Emmy nominee for 30 Rock), as tough-as-nails Lucy, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest; Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, 30 Rock), as the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure with whom Lucy shares a history;
Nick Offerman (NBC’s Parks and Recreation) as a craggy, swaggering pirate, obsessed with revenge on President Business; and Alison Brie (NBC’s Community) as a sweet, loveable member of the team, with a powerful secret.Scribble-Faced Bad Cop. Brrrr. On the other hand, it can still be funny, from how The scene where is pretty unsettling. Nightmare Retardant: The squeaky sound effects of along with the dramatic music stopping for a second does make it less scary. And does it very slowly. However, it's still painful to watch Bad Cop struggle to get up from the floor, and his parents staring in horror When you get past the cheery and normal-looking environment, the world of The LEGO Movie falls right into this trope. People who are forcibly made to follow rules that include the suppression of creativity, free thought, and even free will, or risk being put to sleep or being caught by the Secret Police and glued? Survelliance cameras on every street corner? Posters that emphasize that Big Brother Is Watching?
A corrupt corporate president of the world who is hell-bent on gluing the world together (including his citizens)? A chief of police who swings from a sweet, lovable guy to an absolute power freak at the drop of a hat? Good Lord, NOTHING is awesome in that world. Considering The Reveal, that is 100% intentional. As she shows Emmet, Wyldstyle, Batman, and Vitruvius around Cloud Cuckoo Land, Uni-Kitty demonstrates that she has some anger issues to work out and gives off some creepy Stepford Smiler qualities. Uni-Kitty: Any idea is a good idea. Except the not-happy ones. Those you push down deep inside {she gets closer to the screen with each word, sounding increasingly angry} where you'll never, ever, EVER {Uni-Kitty makes an angry Nightmare Face at the viewers◊ before she snaps back to her usual cutesy self} find them! Her face mid-transformation is scarier than her angry face. Fortunately, by the time she fully embraces Rage Uni-Kitty, it becomes a Moment of Awesome because she's using it to stop the Micro-Managers and help Emmet get to Lord Business.
Although some of her freakier moments can still be this, like how she turns into a crude assortment of bricks that clashes big time with her generally cute appearance. The destruction of . It's staged just like a conventional disaster movie, with The Kragle, Lord Business' secret weapon that glues everything in place. More specifically, it not only glues everything in place, it turns everyone into a sentient, yet frozen corpse. Which may seem humorous until the ending is finally revealed and you see that Lego people, in this universe, are Living Toys- which makes it even more cringe worthy when the Man Upstairs unknowingly spreads around the Krazy Glue like butter.They're cells that drain the Master Builders' creativity. And they're fully conscious as it happens. Also what happens if an M-B defies any of Lord Business's orders. In one scene where a robot comes in and tells the trapped M-Bs about something Lord Business wants built, Gandalf yells, "We'll never help you!"
Cut to him getting electrocuted right after he says it. And then his (and everyone else's thoughts) get stolen anyway. Emmet's helplessness once he . He tries to move or say something, but can't. And his face enters Uncanny Valley, However, the things he thinks and turns his into a funny moment. His face reaches Uncanny Valley because you were so used to how expressive and funny the character's face was throughout the film that it is just weird how out of place and still the face is. The The warping vortex and sudden darkness and silence are unsettlingly like a depiction of death. The thing says to before It's the way he says it that makes it so menacing. As this happens, Emmet is He's completely motionless, he has to watch this, and there is nothing he can do about it. He sounds on the verge of tears. Emmet: And in the Lego World, they see it as It's a Tear Jerker for them too, because Kind of like how most uprisings get crushed by the government the revolutionaries oppose.
