Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Emmet talking to Lord Business in the finale and convincing him to do a Heel�Face Turn is kept in the Junior Novel and Video Game, but the context for whynote isn't. Interestingly, the video game keeps the Plot Twist from the film, but still . Affectionate Parody: The movie frequently (though not completely) parodies summer blockbuster movies. The fact that Everything's Built with LEGO helps, as even the most spectacular explosions and overloaded action sequences end up becoming sillier as a result. Especially the scene with the real-life kid, which Emmet views as an Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever.
Allegory Adventure: The movie notably toys with this trope. The entire plot of the film is presented In-Universe as a metaphor for Finn's playtime in his dad's study, which explains why the ancient "relics" of human artifacts can appear alongside LEGO bricks. However, Emmet, complete with mental voiceover, is able to consciously move himself in this world, albeit with great difficulty. It's left to the viewer's interpretation whether or not the whole movie took place in Finn's head, or if the world of LEGO is its own universe that Finn and Dad can just manipulate. And the Adventure Continues: "We are fwom the pwanet Duplo, and we are hew to destwoy you!" Arc Words: "See everything" is used repeatedly to refer to the power of the Master Builders to see the potential in the pieces around them. Lord Business's obsession with keeping everything "how it is supposed to be." . "Now it's your turn to be the hero." Finn says that to Emmet during his vision, and Emmet says it to Wyldstyle before his Heroic Sacrifice.
The power of the Special is... you're special. Artistic License � Chemistry: The mineral spirits The Man Upstairs uses to un-Kragle the Lego universe at the end would almost certainly remove the paint used to give minifigs their faces and clothing details, in the same way Lord Business uses nail polish remover to remove Bad Cop's "Good" face. We can safely assume that, being a Lego connoisseur, he was probably careful with the stuff. Ascended Meme: In the "Behind the Bricks" featurette, Vitruvius talks about how great it is that he's voiced by Morgan Freeman, noting the famous joke that "that man could read the phone book and make it sound interesting." He then proceeds to do just that.Vitruvius: Five five five, three four nine two. Just listen to that rich molasses.

Although it may be a bit of stretch to call it a sleeper since it wasn’t a tiny indie, the movie still far surpassed expectations. Speaking to directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller at the press junket for their new movie, 22 Jump Street, they agreed that they were taken aback at the movie’s smash success. “That first weekend, everyone was shocked,” says Lord. “We had crazy hopes, but there was no sense that it was going to make almost $70 million that weekend. And we were mixing that movie in January.” Hit the jump for more about their reaction to The LEGO Movie‘s success, the popularity of “Everything Is Awesome”, their heavy involvement in The LEGO Movie 2, when they hope to have the first draft completed, and more. The directors elaborated on their reaction to The LEGO Movie‘s huge opening weekend, and what was happening behind the scenes:
CHRIS MILLER: I remember being at the mix. We had just finished shooting Jump Street. We should have been editing Jump Street, but we were finishing beats for LEGO. I remember looking at it and going like, “This movie, so many people spent so much energy and there’s so much detail and richness in this movie, I really hope that people look past that it was based on a toy, and appreciate all the artistry that went into this thing. It was really dense in the amount of energy that went into and how special it felt. And I thought, “Man, it would be a real shame if people didn’t notice it.” LORD: I just remember it as crazy. This is the craziest movie anyone’s ever tried to make! And I remember sitting at the mix and going, “Haha. That’s funny,” and “Haha. MILLER: It was such a relief when people actually liked it. LORD: It’s so weird. You’re not even happy. MILLER: Greg Silverman said to us the only positive emotion you ever feel in the film business is “relief.”
LORD: We all took a nap Friday night when the returns came in. MILLER: And then went to work on Saturday to start editing 22 Jump Street. The movie also had one of 2014’s biggest earworms with the maddeningly-catchy “Everything Is Awesome” (I will be incredibly amused if it gets an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song). The duo is well aware of the affect it had on audiences, but it did net them a huge compliment: LORD: I am so sorry. I just want to apologize directly to your readers. I apologize for the song “Everything Is Awesome”. MILLER: Well, the irony is crazy. What do you think about the theme song for a totalitarian regime, and everyone is “Yay!” LORD: It’s a very Devo thing to happen. That’s one of the greatest compliments we’ve ever gotten is [composer and Devo band member] Mark Mothersbaugh at dinner in Australia together, and he said, “This movie is very Devo.” I’m going to hang it up now. Even though The LEGO Movie 2 isn’t due out until May 26, 2017, Lord and Miller are already working on the film alongside director Chris McKay, who served as animation co-director on the first movie.
Lord and Miller made it clear that they will be active producers: LORD: We’re breaking the story right now. We have a lot of teammates. MILLER: We’re working with Jerry and Michelle and Chris. And we get together at all the time and talk about what the story should be, and we’re working on the treatment. We pass it around like a hot potato, really. We’re going to a draft of the script together, Phil and I, later this summer and fall. LORD: And then we’re producing in a real way. Collider: So you’re really involved.We have an office in a studio, Chris is going to be next door, and we’ll be looking at cuts all the time. We’re going to be really involved. Finally, if you were hoping for more Benny and space stuff in the sequel, you’ll be pleased to read the following: MILLER: A couple people are like, “You know, it might be nice if you spent some time in space…You know, Benny’s great and his spaceship is great, but…”
