The core message of the movie is all about using your imagination and how everyone has the ability to be special. While that might sound incredibly trite and saccharine, it turns out to be anything but. Overflowing with a unique type of wide-eyed, joyful sarcasm, everything that "the masses" enjoy and consume en masse is poked at here, but never in a mean way. The EDM tune that everyone loves - "Everything Is Awesome!" - is infuriatingly catchy, the hit TV show "Where Are My Pants?", the over-priced coffee that people are all too willing to pay for; the good-humoured subversive nature will have the adults laughing more than the young'uns. Not that they're not being catered for too, with more loveable characters, instantly quotable lines and eye-bursting visuals than a year's worth of other animated movies.
