That’s a trick question; animators really don’t have any extra time. But if there were a few surplus minutes on hand, they might make something like History Cops.The Lego Movie hits blu-ray next week, but one of the special features is online now. History Cops is a parody of grindhouse trailers featuring Lego versions of Michelangelo and Abraham Lincoln. They fight crime, they bust heads, and they dish out quips like “I release you from the shackles of freedom!” It’s lovely, watch below.Will Forte reprises his Lego Movie role as Abraham Lincoln. (I believe The Lego Movie co-director Phil Lord voices Michaelangelo.)

Michelangelo Buonarroti is one of the characters in the 2014 film, The LEGO Movie. Michelangelo was one of the most prominent artists during the Italian Renaissance.
Michelangelo is among the Master Builders that meet in Cloud Cuckoo Land and was seen working on a statue. Vitruvius distinguishes this Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Michelangelo by pronouncing their names slightly different. The turtle's name is pronounced normally, with a long "I" as in "Mike". Vitruvius pronounces the artist's name with a short "I" as in "Mick". During the final battle against Lord Business' forces, Michelangelo was seen with William Shakespeare riding with Abraham Lincoln on his rocket chair.
