About The Lego Movie

The Lego Movie is a 2014 animated adventure comedy film written and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Based on the Lego line of construction toys, the film stars the voices of Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman. The story focuses on Emmet Brickowski (Pratt), an ordinary Lego minifigure who is believed to be "the Special" and destined to help a resistance movement stop a tyrannical businessman (Ferrell) from gluing everything in the Lego universe into his vision of perfection. Plans of a feature film based on Lego started in 2008 after a discussion between producers Dan Lin and Roy Lee before Lin left Warner Bros. to form his own production company, Lin Pictures. By August 2009, it was announced that Dan and Kevin Hageman had begun writing the script. It was officially green-lit by Warner Bros. in November 2011 with a planned 2014 release date. Chris McKay was brought in to co-direct in 2011 with Lord and Miller and later became the film's animation supervisor. The film was inspired by the visual aesthetic and stylistics of brickfilms and qualities attributed to Lego Studios sets. While Lord and Miller wanted to make the film's animation replicate stop motion, everything was done through computer animation, with the animation rigs following the same articulation limits…
