The Lego Movie premieres Saturday, November 15th at 8:00 pm / 7:00 pm central on HBO and HBO Go. Here is the HBO Preview.

Instead of a direct sequel to the surprise 2014 hit, the film's popular Lego Batman character has received his own spinoff, The Lego Batman Movie. The movie, which hits theaters on Feb. 10, looks like it will showcase the same humor and wit as its predecessor, but what if you've never seen the first film and want to catch up before seeing the spinoff? Well, unfortunately, it's unclear when The Lego Movie will be on Netflix for our streaming pleasure.I wouldn't get too optimistic about the film showing up on Netflix anytime soon. Netflix doesn't just distribute random movies, they put out films from studios with which they have streaming deals. Most are familiar with Netflix's massive Disney deal, which gives them first rights to stream new Disney releases, but they also have similar deals in place with DreamWorks Animation and Sony Animation.
That's why you'll find recent films from these studios, like DreamWorks' Kung Fu Panda 3 and Sony's Hotel Transylvania 2, respectively, on Netflix. Netflix even has a deal in place where they can negotiate the release of certain Universal Pictures animated films if Universal's first rights partner, HBO, doesn't want them. That's why Universal's Minions is on Netflix, and not HBO. But unfortunately for fans of Warner Bros.' The Lego Movie, Netflix has no deal for recent releases from the WB. The only hope for The Lego Movie coming to Netflix would be if Netflix were to strike a new deal with Warner Bros. — unlikely since the company is now more focused on creating original content than forging new partnerships with other content generators — or if they gain the rights to the film several years in the future. Netflix has some Warner Bros. movies now, like 2005's Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, but they're all several years old, so it's possible that a few years down the line they could secure the rights to The Lego Movie.
So where can you watch The Lego Movie now?At this time, the only place where you can stream The Lego Movie for free is on HBO. If you have HBO Now or HBOGO, then you can watch the movie as part of your subscription. If not, then your only other option is to rent it from sites like iTunes and Amazon. You should definitely stream The Lego Movie before seeing The Lego Batman Movie, not because you'll need the background for the plot, but because you'll want to expose yourself to as much of Will Arnett's hilarious Lego Batman as you possibly can. The movie is a wonderful surprise, cleverly written and executed brick by brick with a visual panache. January 3, 2015 | Lord and Miller's sensibilities are continually clever, and The Lego Movie works hard to gradually deliver surprising payoffs to what seem to be throwaway bits. The Lego Movie has enough wit and wisdom to send a recession-age message to families on the importance of thinking through problems with creativity.
As a rule, movies about toys need to be approached with extreme caution; some of them have been bad enough to count as health hazards. This one is the exception. March 3, 2014 | This is truly a movie that children and their parents can both enjoy for different reasons. February 10, 2014 | The Lego Movie: Merely a great film, or the greatest film ever in the history of cinema? February 9, 2014 | To kick off the Lunar New Year overseas, HBO Asia will be premiering The LEGO Movie on February 19 and if you’re subscribed to the channel, you can pick up yourself a packet of these snazzy The LEGO Movie red envelopes. These envelopes feature all the main characters of the movie but is missing Wyldstyle for some reason. Geek Culture notes that you can get one of these packets at any Starhub locations but you may want to verify first. As someone who will be celebrating the Lunar New Year next month, I wish I could get my hands on something like this but I probably won’t be able to.
