Post with 18 notes Probably taking the wrong inspiration from The LEGO Movie, I finally decided to organise my entire spare brick collection! Taken 3 weeks, but everything that isn’t already a model is now neatly organised and ready to make cool things with :)See, Will Ferrell was right - LEGO isn’t for kids :P Photoset reblogged from 'Hoy Small Fry with 39 notes hoy-small-fry:Custom LEGO TMNT - Metalhead & Casey JonesAs LEGO never produced them, I designed a custom Metalhead and Casey Jones minifigure!They’re made from entirely standard parts, but with decals on Metalhead to add the wiring detail in his chest. Really pleased with the result :)Little something I’ve been working on :) Photoset reblogged from 'Hoy Small Fry with 631 notes Post with 352 notes The LEGO Movie won the Best Animated Movie BAFTA!!!How can you not even nominate a film that won the best in its category? Question with 16 notes aturnblrblog-deactivated2016032 asked: I'm doing a report on the lego movie and if you could answer a few questions on it that would be great!
What made you want to see the lego movie? What was your favorite thing about the lego movie? Do you think that if it wasn't advertised as much that you would have gone out and seen it? Do you think that the famous people in the movie made you want to see it more? How do you feel about the quality of the animation? Do you think there are any hidden messages in the movie? A report on The LEGO Movie? Awesome =D1) What made you want to see The LEGO Movie?LEGO was a huge part of my life growing up, so the chance to see it on the big screen was too good an opportunity to pass up :)2) What was your favourite thing about The LEGO Movie?How real it all felt. The older films like Clutch Powers and the Bionicle films always felt like LEGO figures exploring a cartoonish world, whereas this felt like LEGO figures exploring their own world. It reminded me of what I used to imagine my LEGO sets being like!3) Do you think that if it wasn’t advertised as much that you would have gone out and seen it?Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and that alone would have driven audience figures up in the adult demographic.
Kids would flock to it anyway, but adults love nostalgia. Just look at TMNT - that film is a mess, but people still saw it.4) Do you think that the famous people in the movie made you want to see it more?It certainly didn’t hurt. Michael Dorn’s voice work on the last Bionicle film helped to promote that even with the franchise dying, so having the likes of Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman was a massive coup for this.5) How do you feel about the quality of the animation?Like I said before, it feels real, and that’s hard for an inanimate object. At no point did it feel like an animated movie, and more a well-done stop motion shoot. And that is supremely impressive in my book.6) Do you think there are any hidden messages in the movie? That everything is awesome! (although that wasn’t really hidden…) I’m not one for reading between the lines in movies, but it was clearly making a point about not letting creativity be bounded. Also shot a message back at LEGO, that in their pursuit of franchise tie-in sets, it can be lost on the new generation the simple pleasures of building something from nothing from a tub of bricks.
Hope that’s of use :)You guys, have you seen The Lego Movie? Have you have you have you have you? Because if you haven't, you should totally go see it as soon as possible. Yeah I know you're busy, but what have you got going on that's more important than being completely and thoroughly entertained for 100 continuous minutes? I'm feeling evangelical about The Lego Movie because I took my kids to see it this weekend and I was totally surprised by how much I loved it. While my 6-year-old was squirming in his seat and my 8-year-old was semi-distracted by the task of ferreting every last kernel out of his popcorn bag, I was utterly enraptured by the action happening onscreen. Honestly, I don't think I've laughed that much in a theater in years. What I'm saying is that I'm almost entirely certain you'll love it even if you don't have kids -- but if you need a little extra encouragement, here are 5 Lego Movie in-jokes that were clearly meant to sail right over little kids' noggins.
The Lego Movie was written and directed by the team of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who also did 21 Jump Street, which starred Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. In The Lego Movie, Tatum voices Superman and Jonah Hill plays the socially awkward, overly clingy Green Lantern. Channing to Hill, when their characters get stuck together in a wad of gum: "I super hate you." Cobie Smulders from How I Met Your Mother voices Wonder Woman in The Lego Movie. If this seems like an oddly appropriate choice, given Smulders' gorgeous WW-esque looks, Joss Whedon has said he considered her for the role of Wonder Woman in his draft of the eponymous film, which never went into production. Smulders was also reportedly in the running for the Wonder Woman role in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman, but lost out to Gal Gadot. That's a bummer for her, but it looks like Smulders is at least enjoying playing a minifig version of the superheroine: The failed BIONICLE product line.When Morgan Freeman-voiced Vitruvius describes the various worlds Lord Business has tried to master, he mentions there are some no one cares about.
Watch the blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpse of Bioncile, the line of toys Lego discontinued in 2010 (semi-replacing it with the Hero Factory series). Nice little self-deprecating nod to one of Lego's own unsuccessful products. Early on in the movie, Emmet's "friends" are seen eating croissants and turkey drumsticks while waxing poetic about what makes them all individuals. The joke here is that Lego only has a few foods that fit into mini-fig hands. Croissants show up in over 30 different LEGO sets, while turkey drumsticks are in well over 50. And now for the last one, which is a BIG spoiler if you haven't seen the movie ... At the very beginning of the movie when Lord Business and Vitruvius fight over the Kragle, we see a title screen that says, "Eight and a half years later." This we can assume refers to the birth of Finn, the live-action kid who's been playing with the Legos all along. As MTV puts it, So though it's never explicitly stated, when Finn was born, The Man Upstairs locked his toys away, separated the worlds and made sure that his son would never play with them.
