We're gonna describe The LEGO Movie here? AWESOME!The LEGO Movie is a 2014 CGI animated film (done in the style of stop-motion animation) directed by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Chris McKay based upon the LEGO franchise. Animal Logic animates the film.In a universe made entirely out of LEGO bricks, Emmet Brickowski (Chris Pratt) is a perfectly normal, regular old construction worker who lives every day of his life happy and upbeat, always making sure to follow the instructions. One day, he crosses paths with a strange figure by the name of Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), and awakens with a mysterious red object attached to his back. It turns out he's in possession of the legendary Piece of Resistance, which an individual known as "the Special" was foretold to find and save the universe with.Unfortunately, this makes Emmet the target of Lord Business (Will Ferrell), the CEO of the monopolistic Octan Corporation who plans to destroy the universe using an immensely powerful weapon that can only be stopped by the Piece of Resistance. Our hero realizes he's in way over his head, and thus seeks help from the old, wise scatterbrain known as Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), as well as many other Master Builders, people with the power to disassemble and reassemble their surroundings to create anything they imagine.The film also features Will Arnett, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman, Charlie Day, and Alison Brie as prominent members of its supporting cast. There are also scattered celebrity cameos among the LEGO figurines, such as Channing Tatum as Superman and Jonah Hill as Green Lantern. Cobie Smulders also gets a minor role as the first portrayal of Wonder Woman in a feature film.A lot of the film's humor comes from jokes that can be done with LEGO Toys, like the similar LEGO Adaptation Game series — which even has a game based on this film, and whose director (as well as the director of most of the LEGO games) executive produced this film. It's also worth noting that this film is the first to come from Warner Bros.' Warner Animation Group division. Watch the first trailer here, and the second trailer here.A sequel was released in 2019, and two 2017 spin offs; The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie. A television show spin-off centered around UniKitty simply called Unikitty! had also been green-lit to air on Cartoon Network in 2017. Lord and Miller would also revisit the LEGO universe, albeit briefly, in 2023's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. | |

Sure, Let's Go with That: When Emmet is discovered by Wyldstyle to have found the Piece of Resistance, the following exchange takes place: Also used when Emmet is told that the Kragle might explode when paired with the Piece of Resistance. He quickly identifies the corollary: that it might not explode. Vitruvius responds with "Sure, sure, sure... let's go with that". | |

Control Freak | |
The LEGO Movie / int_11ad560b | comment |
Lord Business is a Control Freak who instates an oppressively conformist society incapable of original thought or diverging from directions. However, Emmet points out Octan's organization and use of instructions has let them build whole cities, whereas the Master Builders are so individualistic that they're incapable of working together. When a couple of them try to make a submarine together, they just build their own parts and stick them together, and the resulting vehicle falls apart in minutes. | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
The LEGO Movie / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: The Bad Cop/Good Cop blind bag minifigure has Good Cop's hand-drawn face, instead of his original face. Surprisingly averted as well, considering that a TV spot even implored audience members not to give away the ending. Midway through the movie, Batman leaves the main characters aboard the Millennium Falcon. He's not gone long, but still considering that there's a prominent scene from the trailers that hasn't happened yet, everyone knows Batman isn't really gone. One of the promotional photos that Warner Bros. released prominently shows Ghost Vitruvius. The Special Edition DVD box shows the group shot at the very end of the film... with Ghost Vitruvius in it. Early press releases mentioned a lead character named Lucy. Those who watched the film having read those articles were not one bit surprised that the mystery name belonged to Wyldstyle, as her pseudonym was not used in early news for the film. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
The LEGO Movie / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: After The Reveal, the movie can be seen as a satire on the current state of Hollywood. "The Man Upstairs" is so convinced that he's built the perfect LEGO world that he refuses to let his son express his creativity by building new things and letting new characters flourish. Finn ultimately wins him over by showing him how fun it really is to experiment and try new things. Doesn't MetalBeard◊ look a teeny, tiny little bit like Ghazghkull Mag Uruk EFFING Thraka?◊. Or alternatively a Contemptor Dreadnought.◊ The real world segment seems awfully similar to an episode of Adventure Time, in which the main character whose name is also Finn, obtains magical toys of all his friends, unknownst to him he was actually manipulating an alternate reality where these toys lived as real people and he was pretty much an invisible deity. | |

Order Versus Chaos: Lord Business is all order ("Use the Instructions"), the Master Builders are all chaos ("Just be Creative"), and Emmet ends up somewhere in between. In the broader sense, Lord Business wanting to glue everything together (representing Finn's Dad) is "Total Order" and Emmet and the Master Builders being Creative (representing Finn) are more in the middle, and going by the Stinger, the aliens that just want to destroy everything (representing Finn's younger sister) are "Total Chaos". | |

The Cameo | |
The LEGO Movie / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Since LEGO owns the licenses to various properties, it means that various figures can appear within the film. Being produced by the same studio that owns DC Comics means their superheroes can play a big part. Batman plays a secondary role, and Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and The Flash all appear. Marvel characters, on the other hand... Michaelangelo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of the Master Builders. The painter he's named after also appears for a cheap gag. Dumbledore and Gandalf the Grey are both Master Builders and hang out together in Cloud Cuckoo Land. Do not get them mixed up. In addition to the aforementioned licensed characters, the Master Builders consist of many characters from various Lego Themes, including many representatives from LEGO Minifigures, Lloyd Garmadon the Green Ninja, Shaquille O'Neal and two NBA All-Starsnote from the 2003 NBA line, erroneously referred to as 2002 in the film, Johnny Thunder, Classic LEGO Space astronauts, and Lion Knights. Making a surprise appearance mid-movie: the freaking Millennium Falcon, complete with Han, Chewbacca, Lando, and C3PO, the latter two voiced by Billy Dee Williams and Anthony Daniels. Speed Racer is part of MetalBeard's crew. Relatively early in the movie, a short slideshow is shown as Emmet has the various LEGO worlds explained to him, and pictures of various LEGO properties are displayed, including several that make no other appearance in the film, such as BIONICLE, LEGO Friends, and the above mentioned Speed Racer's. Within Wyldstyle's Exposition Dump is a scene showing Lord Business demonstrating his plan to put walls up between the various LEGO worlds. On the powerpoint he is showing, if paused, Atlantis, Pharaoh's Quest and Technic Mech Forest can be seen. As a Freeze-Frame Bonus, Captain Roger Redbeard is standing on the pier in the Man Upstairs' pirates display (seen at 2:34 in this clip). | |

Lack of Imagination: Discussed, as Emmett needs to have creativity to be a Master Builder and save the LEGO universe, but does not appear to be capable of coming up with anything useful or interesting due to a lifetime of following rules. However, he manages to grow and discovers his creativity over the course of the movie. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: After we see Emmet fall into the great big Hole of Nothingness, the next place he shows is on the concrete floor of someone's basement, in the real world. From there, frozen, Emmet watches as a little kid plays with him and his friends in a rather fantastic style, and we see the entire movie has been the product of this kid's imagination (supplying logic to the weirder plot points of the movie preceding this moment). The movie uses this continuing exchange between animation and live action to give the audience the experience of playing with LEGO. | |

Stealth Pun | |
The LEGO Movie / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: Benny gets excited when he discovers Octan's TV and surveillance are all "1980-something technology!" Pretty sure we know what year. MetalBeard has a treasure chest attached to his torso. It's his "chest". More obscurely, "emmet" is an archaic word for an ant. Fitting for a lowly worker who doesn't stand out from the rest. Lord Business' workers are all robotic: corporate drones. Lord Business says "No more Mr. Nice Guy" as he erases Good Cop/Bad Cop's good face. | |

Take Our Word for It: After hearing Emmet's protests that he's not the Special, Bad Cop states sarcastically: "Yeah, I believe you", with his fingers making air quotes. Except he has to say he's making air quotes with his fingers because, like all mini-figures, he has no fingers. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Where Are My Pants? is an extremely popular television show. Wyldstyle later hijacks a broadcast to show all of Emmet's deeds to get everyone to rally up and to unlock their imagination. The only idea Emmet ever had before becoming the Special, the double-decker couch, turns out to be a functional escape pod when their submarine is sunk. | |

Ironic Echo | |
The LEGO Movie / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: The Prophecy, originally describing The Special as "the most important, most talented, most interesting, and most extraordinary person in the universe", is used by Emmet and presumably Finn to describe Lord Business, a.k.a. "The Man Upstairs", and is instrumental in his Heel–Face Turn. Inverted by the end of the movie: the opening song, "Everything Is Awesome", begins as an ode to conformity, i.e., everything is awesome so don't question anything. The song becomes irony-free by the end of the movie. Within a few minutes of it being said the first time, "See you later, alligator." | |

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: As late as a month before the film's premier, UniKitty barely appeared in trailers and only had one word of dialogue in a TV spot.note That word is "Embarrassing!" Even Johnny Thunder, who has appeared only as a Freeze-Frame Bonus, has gotten more cumulative trailer screentime than UniKitty. This is despite the fact that she features prominently in the tie-in toys and is one of the main supporting characters alongside the likes of Batman, Benny, and MetalBeard. | |

Mythology Gag | |
The LEGO Movie / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The Octan Corporation, a fictional company mostly seen selling gas in various LEGO sets, plays an integral role in the film. The Reveal shows us the reason for this. Bad Cop/Good Cop has one of the heads that have two expressions on them that can be switched by turning the head around. In one of the TV spots, Batman claims the directors got Will Arnett to play him because they couldn't get "Clooney" to come back. When Bad Cop's forces invade Cloud Cuckoo Land, we see a shot of Wonder Woman being handcuffed. In the original Wonder Woman comics, Diana was helpless when her wrists were bound. Toward the end, when Wyldstyle chooses Emmet over Batman, Batman says, "He's the hero you deserve." Some of the realms of "the universe" mentioned by Wyldstyle during her exposition speech are named after themed areas at the LEGOLAND parks. | |

Funny Background Event | |
The LEGO Movie / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: When the group are traveling through Middle Zealand, you can see a group of minifigs gathered around a dragon who is barbecuing a chicken on a spit roast. After Lord Business threatens Bad Cop with the Band-Aid, he hands it off to two of his mooks and continues talking. They... have a bit of trouble handling it from there. While riding into the Old West town, there is a miner hot tubbing in the water tower. As he takes a drink from his glass, around him bubbles come to the surface of the water. He then nervously looks around to see if anybody notices. While Wyldstyle is talking to Vitruvius in the saloon, Emmet is seen interacting with things in the background. He even takes a sip of alcohol and gags. When the team is driving up the rainbow to Cloud Cuckoo Land, two knights can be seen jousting, with one completely skewering the other. Inverted with a Funny Foreground Event; see Headphones Equal Isolation. When Batman tells Wyldstyle "He's the hero you deserve", gesturing to Emmet, Emmet looks around to see if Batman is gesturing to someone behind him, whilst in the background, Benny also looks around to see if he's referring to someone else. During Bad Cop's interrogation of Emmet, one of the robots who's supposed to be watching the interrogation is instead playing Solitaire on his computer. | |

Small Name, Big Ego | |
The LEGO Movie / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: In the Behind the Bricks featurette, Emmet's "actor" claims that "there were a lot of big egos on set", and he is shown to be right. Batman not only claims to be the main character, he claims he is the main character in every single movie he is ever innote To be fair, most of the movies Batman has been in actually are Batman movies, so he's kind of got a general point here. Likewise, Bad Cop/Good Cop also thinks he is the main character (both sides of him argue with each other that they are the lead). President Business, meanwhile, thinks he deserves to be voiced by an acting legend like Robert De Niro and is upset that the studio is "scraping the barrel" by casting Will Ferrell instead. Emmet and Wyldstyle's LEGO actors both gush about their voice actors—meaning, of course, that Chris Pratt and Elizabeth Banks are basically gushing about themselves. | |

The LEGO Movie / int_28b26f8 | comment |
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. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
The LEGO Movie / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Tying into Order Versus Chaos, it directly opposes Boring, but Practical in this world. The things made by the Master Builders are very creative but often unstable as each MB does their own thing while building; by contrast, the things made by President Business are dull and drab but work perfectly. It represents the difference between Finn's creativity and his dad's perfectionism. When Emmet unlocks his Master Builder powers, the Humongous Mecha he makes out of construction vehicles is awesome, looking like something off-the-wall that a Master Builder would make but hardy and powerful enough literally to smash through a swarm of Micromanagers like a wrecking ball. | |

Massive Multiplayer Crossover | |
The LEGO Movie / int_2c385759 | comment |
Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Much like how Wreck-It Ralph was this for video games and Who Framed Roger Rabbit was this for cartoons, The LEGO Movie is this for LEGO. They tried to include as many LEGO franchise-based sets as they could within their legal capabilities, as well as some that LEGO never adapted. While perhaps unsurprisingly many of the cameo characters fall under the LEGO/Warner Bros. shared license (Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Speed Racer, film characters of The DCU), the movie also managed to secure rights from Fox, Disney, and Nickelodeon with The Simpsons, Star Wars, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles respectively. So yes, this means this is the first time in history another animation studio has rivaled Disney or Pixar in terms of cross-studio characters. | |

Heart Is an Awesome Power: What use is a construction worker to Master Builders? Pretty useful in that Emmet knows how to assemble the Master Builders into a team, the structure of every skyscraper and security system, and how to stall Lord Business until they get the piece of resistance on the Kragle. Wyldstyle also tells the ordinary LEGO citizens to rebuild the world around them to stop the mass Kragle invasion, for "freedom Friday, but still on a Tuesday". This buys the citizens enough time for Finn to return Emmet to the LEGO world. | |

Perfection Is Static | |
The LEGO Movie / int_3504dcd8 | comment |
Perfection Is Static: Lord Business wants the LEGO world to be perfect, and to do that he will use the superweapon KRAGL (i.e. Krazy-Glu) to freeze everything in the perfect pose. This is analogous to The Man Upstairs, who considers doing the same to his LEGO sets so his son won't play and mess up the carefully created world he made. | |

Hammerspace: For all characters, particularly Batman's batarangs. There's also the scene where Benny squeezes into a barrel that's clearly too small for him. And of course, the compartments under the Double-Decker Couch cushions somehow fit all six who hide in it. MetalBeard apparently crams most of his volume into it when he transforms into a photocopier, and apparently has the bricks for said copier in the Hammerspace beforehand. | |

Actor Allusion | |
The LEGO Movie / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: A few of the trailers show Superman and Green Lantern bantering with each other. The characters are voiced by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, respectively. Will Forte cameos as the voice of Abraham Lincoln in a Millar/Lord production. Again. In one scene, Batman fights a Knight Templar voiced by Liam Neeson. Even more allusiony, their first fight is centered around a train that's about to fall off a bridge. Regarding Morgan Freeman, this isn't the first time he's worked closely with Batman. They also find him in the Old West. This isn't Morgan Freeman's first Western either. Batman (Will Arnett) upon seeing the Millenium Falcon is practically "Oh COME ON!" During Emmet's escape from the police station: Additionally, one of MetalBeard's rules of the sea is "Never release a kraken". In the case of Will Ferrell: This isn't the first time he has played a villain in an animated movie who mispronounces words, complete with Heel–Face Turn. Nor is it the first time Ferrell has played a ''President'' prone to mispronouncing words. And he's no stranger to building elaborate cityscapes out of LEGO either. And Comedic Underwear Exposure is his idea of entertainment. Bad Cop can be heard humming "Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ra", referencing Neeson's Irish heritage; at one point he sings "O Danny Boy". In a director allusion, one of the posters in Emmet's apartment is for Teen Copz: The Movie. Just like in Wedding Crashers, Will Ferrell is mentioned as an unseen special character (here, as The Man Upstairs) who is finally revealed at the end, emerging from a shadowy stairway. Good Cop eventually winds up losing his face and even when he gets it back, it's permanently deformed. Doesn't that sound very similar to another character Neeson's played? | |

Boring, but Practical | |
The LEGO Movie / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Tying into Order Versus Chaos, it directly opposes Awesome, but Impractical in this world. The things made by the Master Builders are very creative but often unstable as each MB does their own thing while building; by contrast, the things made by President Business are dull and drab but work perfectly. It represents the difference between Finn's creativity and his dad's perfectionism. When Emmet unlocks his Master Builder powers, the Humongous Mecha he makes out of construction vehicles is awesome, looking like something off-the-wall that a Master Builder would make but hardy and powerful enough literally to smash through a swarm of Micromanagers like a wrecking ball. | |

Plot Twist | |
The LEGO Movie / int_3b23e81 | comment |
Plot Twist: Quite a bigger one than you would expect from this movie, so much so that the post-premiere commercials stress that you should not reveal the ending: The entire movie was quite possibly, the construct of a young boy's imagination as he played with his father's ridiculously large LEGO set that he built exactly according to the instructions. The conflict between Emmet and Lord Business is a metaphor for the boy's troubled relationship with his father; he just wants to be creative, while his dad wants to build everything precisely. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
The LEGO Movie / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: There are a few instances, most notably Vitruvius as a ghost, which is literally a figurine with a ghost blanket piece on a string, and the separation of Lord Business's fortress, which goes from a dramatic event to a crude stop-motion-esque animation with one-man sound effects. The Reveal means that this was probably intentional. Interestingly enough, host Vitruvius was entirely CG; not a live-action minifigure pasted into the movie. That's some impressive work right there. The whole film is CG but emulates stop-motion, including the fact that it has a deliberately low frame rate. You have to look REALLY close to notice the characters doing anything that a minifig can't do, like shrugging slightly. They don't bend their legs like in, say, a LEGO Adaptation Game. The moments where everything is depicted on a much smaller brick scale with vocals for sound effects is, according to the commentary, meant to imply that they ran out of money in the production and had to skimp on a few shots. While this can lead to some brilliantly unexpected takes on certain moments, like the top of the Octan Tower detaching, it can lead to some dissonance in the scene where Cloud Cuckoo Land is destroyed. invoked The in-universe TV show Where Are My Pants? is a parody of a lame sitcom. Batman's song, "Untitled Self Portrait". "Darkness! No parents!" | |

The LEGO Movie / int_41c08e5 | comment |
Establishing Series Moment: Right at the very beginning of the movie. We get treated to a fairly epic zoom through a river of lava towards an altar in the cliffs to the face of a fairly Gandalf-esque looking Wizard Classic, who then says "Cover your butts" to a pair of guards (who reply "cover your what?"). Then an affluent-looking Evil Overlord does a Dynamic Entry on the gate and blowing off the guards. Wizard gets the receiving end of a hilarious Curb-Stomp Battle and delivers The Prophecy (which he says is true because it rhymes) to the overlord who just MST's the heck out of it, establishing the conflict, tone and the humor of the movie. | |

Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In this movie, Batman’s utility belt is printed onto his torso, like the Batman minifigures from the sets. In later installments, the belt is its own piece that slots between his torso and legs. Green Lantern uses his design from the 2011 movie due to it being the only physical minifigure of the character available at the time. All his subsequent appearances use his New 52 design, which was released in 2015. | |

You All Look Familiar: Considering that Emmet's default face is the standard classic LEGO smiley, this trope comes with the product. This becomes a significant plot point early on when Emmet realizes not only is he not special, he is exactly the same as everyone else, causing a Heroic BSoD thus kickstarting the events of the film. It does help him, though — it is hard to catch him because he is so bland that it is hard to track him down. | |

Ridiculously Fast Construction | |
The LEGO Movie / int_4987746e | comment |
Ridiculously Fast Construction: Master Builders build things really fast. Batman defeats Bad Cop's flyer by rearranging it mid-air to a baby carriage. Wyldstyle builds so fast she can build a car in the middle of a chase sequence while she's running through a barn, or rebuild a motorcycle into a jet while it's still rolling. Even newbie builder Emmet gains this ability by the end of the film. Benny, when he finally gets to build his beloved SPACESHIP!, rips the TV studio apart so fast he's a barely visible, insanely giggling blur as the pieces flurry together almost of their own accord. | |

Some of the prominent ones: Emmet being picked up by Finn, with Finn saying hello to him. "The Man Upstairs" coming down the stairs, and he's played by Will Ferrell... the same man who voiced Lord Business. All of the LEGO lands we see are perfectly made on tables with signs saying not to touch... except Cloud Cuckoo Land, which is on a small round table off in the corner. | |

Cosmic Horror Story: No seriously, you read that right. The LEGO Movie turned out to be this all along after The Reveal which is that all of the events of the story until this point had been a human boy named Finn's imagination as he played with his father's LEGO collection without permission. Said father, known to the LEGO characters as The Man Upstairs, and whom the Big Bad is just a loose Expy of, wasn't letting his son play with the LEGO the way they were intended and wanted to glue his creations together so they couldn't be disturbed. | |

The Reveal | |
The LEGO Movie / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
There are a few instances, most notably Vitruvius as a ghost, which is literally a figurine with a ghost blanket piece on a string, and the separation of Lord Business's fortress, which goes from a dramatic event to a crude stop-motion-esque animation with one-man sound effects. The Reveal means that this was probably intentional. Interestingly enough, host Vitruvius was entirely CG; not a live-action minifigure pasted into the movie. That's some impressive work right there. | |

LEGO are meant to be played with and enjoyed, but The Man Upstairs treats them like museum pieces.

Meaningful Name | |
The LEGO Movie / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name Vitruvius was a famous architect in the Roman Republic. What better career for a wizard among LEGO? Emmet is an Old German name meaning "energetic" or "powerful." It is possibly derived from an Old English word meaning "an ant." Considering that Emmet is both "the special" and very small... Emmet also sounds like the Hebrew word "emet", which means "truth", and was the word written on the Golem of Prague's forehead to bring it to life. Like the golem, Emmet is an inanimate humanoid who comes to life. | |

Villain Has a Point: Lord Business is a Control Freak who instates an oppressively conformist society incapable of original thought or diverging from directions. However, Emmet points out Octan's organization and use of instructions has let them build whole cities, whereas the Master Builders are so individualistic that they're incapable of working together. When a couple of them try to make a submarine together, they just build their own parts and stick them together, and the resulting vehicle falls apart in minutes. All of Lord Business's criticisms about the double-decker couch are completely valid, though some of them don't apply to LEGO figurines (for example, without jointed legs, they can't hang their feet over the edge). | |

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." His words are then mimicked exactly by The Man Upstairs as he begins to glue the sets together. "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. Everything is Awesome. The power of the Special is... you're special. | |

Both Order and Chaos are Dangerous | |
The LEGO Movie / int_754d4507 | comment |
Both Order and Chaos are Dangerous: While Lord Business (representing Order) is the bad guy and the Master Builders (representing Chaos) are the good guys, it's shown that the Master Builders are actually terrible at making anything effective together, all preferring to work on their own and often clashing when forced to co-operate. It's when Emmet helps bring them together, thanks to having worked under President Business as a member of a construction team, that they can make an assault on the Octan Tower. | |

Virtual Assistant Blunder: When Benny tries to hack into Lord Business' lair's computer system and disable the shields, the computer replies that there are no movies with that title in their area. He keeps having trouble with this until MetalBeard is able to explain the situation, much to Benny's confusion. | |

The LEGO Movie / int_794f3589 | comment |
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 why (The Man Upstairs making amends with his son after realizing Lord Business is modeled after him) isn't. Interestingly, the video game keeps the Plot Twist from the film, but still removes almost everything about The Man Upstairs, instead just having Finn find Emmet, and then abruptly send him back. | |

Alternate Universe: The LEGO World to the Real World. While the events of the film and actions of the protagonists seem to be heavily influenced by Finn's actions at his father's LEGO set, Emmet still possesses his own thoughts when he falls into the Real World, and even wills himself to move at one point, independent of Finn or his father. The two worlds are separate, but apparently run parallel to each other, with whatever happens in the Real World affecting what happens in the LEGO world. The inverse also appears to be true, as Finn's father realizes his son's work when Emmet points it out to President Business. | |

The Chosen One | |
The LEGO Movie / int_89631688 | comment |
Of the concept of The Chosen One. The movie pokes fun at the lack of sense within the overall concept, and what damage this responsibility would have on a normal person, as well as the people around them. Wyldstyle and Lord Business both express wounded hearts due to not being "special" like the chosen one, and Vitruvius evidently reveals there ISN'T a chosen one, he just said so to give people hope. But being put in the role of The Chosen One makes Emmet actually become a hero, in the end, and teach that everyone is The Chosen Many. Of course, he technically is The Chosen One in the sense that Finn considers him to be the hero, so it goes both ways. | |

Capitalism Is Bad | |
The LEGO Movie / int_8b60a09b | comment |
Capitalism Is Bad: This trope is played with. President/Lord Business, whose name by itself invokes this trope, has several posters/screens emphasizing obeying President Business (particularly buying products made by his company), as well as the surprising suppression of creativity, or then at least his standards of perfection. The city of which Emmet is a resident of are portrayed as sheeple who blindly accept such a plutocratic society, which would be consistent with Socialist and other anti-capitalist propaganda. However, it is actually invoked in-universe by Finn, of which Mr. Business is an Expy of his father (a.k.a. The Man Upstairs) and is a criticism of the latter stifling the former's creativity due to conflicting with Finn's father's perfectionist ideals. | |

Last Day of Normalcy: After the prologue, the film opens with Emmet's daily routine, where he follows his instructions as he gets dressed in his apartment, greets his neighbors, orders overpriced coffee, and works at the construction site. Later that night, he falls down the hole where he finds the Piece of Resistance, everyone thinks he's the Special, he learns about President Business's plan to use the Kragle to end the world in 3 days, and he gets dragged into an adventure by Wyldstyle after she rescues him. | |

Bathos: All over the place. The scene where Lord Business forces Bad Cop/Good Cop to Kragle his parents is a prime example. On the surface, it's hilarious because it's framing Krazy Glue as the most awful thing ever and half the scene is Liam Neeson literally arguing with himself, but it's also genuinely horrifying and tragic because you're watching a man visibly struggling with the decision to erase part of his own identity and inflict a Fate Worse than Death on his own parents. | |

Humans Are Cthulhu | |
The LEGO Movie / int_98c2a8f2 | comment |
Humans Are Cthulhu: The only glimpse we get of humans are various artifacts kept by Lord Business such as the Kragle (Krazy Glue) and the Cloak of Ban'Daeed (a Band-Aid). Vitruvius earlier makes reference to "The Man Upstairs", who is seemingly the god of the LEGO universe. Then Emmet himself personally encounters his builders after falling out of the LEGO world, which turn out to be a human kid named Finn and his father, The Man Upstairs himself. When Emmet imagines up the hand of The Man Upstairs in his mind, he describes it as something like eagle talons combined with a squid. A rather Cthulhu-esque way to describing something he can't comprehend. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
The LEGO Movie / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: Master Builders tend to only build things that reflect their own particular idioms — Benny's only good with '80s technology, Batman only works in black (and very dark grey), and UniKitty has to stick rainbows onto everything. The result is that when working together, they cooperate poorly, as shown with the main heroes' escape from the invaded Cloud Cuckoo Land; the haphazard submarine is not only an awkward mishmash of their aesthetics, but it starts to break apart minutes after being built. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: It's easy to miss. Emmet's look from the submarine window during Cloud Cuckoo Land's destruction suggests this being that it was the tracking device that doomed it. He comforts UniKitty because he doesn't know what else to do. A more obvious example is perhaps The Man Upstairs, a.k.a. Finn's dad, realizing how well his "KEEP OUT" parenting has worked. | |

Ascended Extra: The Octan brand itself. For years they were only used in situations involving gasoline (prior to 1992 the real gas station Shell had been in that position). Here it's a MegaCorp than controls the entire world under Lord Business' leadership (also crossing into Adaptational Villainy). | |

And I Must Scream: Lord Business's plan is to use the Kragle to stick everyone in place, so no one can "mess with" them. Emmet gets hit with this when he's transformed into an inanimate LEGO minifig in the real world. The "Think Tank", which is where Lord Business holds all of the captured Master Builders and plugs them into a computer database that forces them to create new LEGO designs for him. | |

Oh, Crap!: After the above page quote, Wyldstyle tells Emmet: "Good. You drive." Meaning her high-speed motorcycle currently being chased by the cops, Emmet understandably freaks out. Wyldstyle has this reaction when she realizes Emmet is not the rebel she was expecting, but a completely nondescript follower. When Finn is told that — since his dad is more permissive about him playing with the LEGO sets — his sister will also get free rein. Subsequently, this also occurs when his sister's Duplo creations land in the LEGO world.

In a weird sort of shout out to an unrelated famous Japanese commercial, he can also turn into a copy machine. Basically the guiding principle for him seems to be Rule of Cool. | |

Earth All Along | |
The LEGO Movie / int_b1e5dde1 | comment |
Earth All Along: Sort of. The "Kragle", Lord Business's unstoppable weapon, is "Krazyglue" with letters missing. The thing is, the entire LEGO world is a literal construct of Finn, a young boy, who is caught playing with his father's LEGO buildings. Thus the entire film is a metaphor for the clash between their play styles (Unless of course the LEGO world is an alternate reality, though the underlying message still applies). Or alternately, Earth influences the LEGO World to the Real World but the LEGO World can do the same to Earth. Since while the protagonists seem to be heavily influenced by Finn's actions at his father's LEGO set, Emmet still possesses a consciousness and is even able to move independently of Finn or his father. | |

Tantrum Throwing: Bad Cop, whenever he gets angry, throws around an office swivel chair. He seems to have... issues with rolling chairs.

He manages to brain a poor robo-cop in the background with it by accident. Mind you, it was right after a police chase, so it seems he brings chairs around just to abuse them. | |

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.

Self-Deprecation: Emmet's speech about how he's the least qualified to lead everyone. The new villains that show up at the end are made of LEGO Duplo Bricks, a brand of toddler-based LEGO that many LEGO fans openly despise. In the "Behind the Bricks" featurette, each of the characters gush about their actors, while President Business laments that he had to be stuck with Will Ferrell, and Batman seems a little annoyed that he is being played by Will Arnett rather than George Clooney... weirdly enough... | |

The LEGO Movie / int_cc4b45f6 | comment |
The moments where everything is depicted on a much smaller brick scale with vocals for sound effects is, according to the commentary, meant to imply that they ran out of money in the production and had to skimp on a few shots. While this can lead to some brilliantly unexpected takes on certain moments, like the top of the Octan Tower detaching, it can lead to some dissonance in the scene where Cloud Cuckoo Land is destroyed. invoked | |

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Done tongue-in-cheek. And justified by Finn's age. When losing the heroes, Bad Cop swears up a storm of: "Darn, darn, darn, darny-darn!". It's even more hilarious as this is Liam Neeson saying this. When arriving in the Old West, Emmet exclaims: "O-M-G-O-S-H!" Batman drops a "What. The. Heck." late into the movie. A Micromanager's reaction to Emmet's construction mech: "What the heck is this?" UniKitty's "Oh, forget it!" is not a Precision F-Strike but she sure says it like one. | |

Batman tries to initiate this thrice. The first two times, he's persuaded by Wyldstyle to stay with them, but the third time has him leap aboard the Millennium Falcon. Wyldstyle gives him a moment of What the Hell, Hero? when he gets onto it. However, it turns out that he didn't really intend to leave — he had taken the opportunity to steal the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive for Emmet's plan. | |

Moving Angst: Implied. Pieces of Cloud Cuckoo Land can be seen in a box labeled Cloud Bros. Movers, indicating that Finn's family had to move at one point. Given that the events of the movie are a metaphor for Finn's life, UniKitty's sadness over watching Cloud Cuckoo Land getting destroyed may represent how Finn felt moving away from his old home. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Batman tries to initiate this thrice. The first two times, he's persuaded by Wyldstyle to stay with them, but the third time has him leap aboard the Millennium Falcon. Wyldstyle gives him a moment of What the Hell, Hero? when he gets onto it. However, it turns out that he didn't really intend to leave — he had taken the opportunity to steal the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive for Emmet's plan. MetalBeard ditches the Master Builder convention after Emmet's Rousing Speech fails to actually do any rousing. | |

The LEGO Movie / int_e0113647 | comment |
Decon-Recon Switch: Of the concept of The Chosen One. The movie pokes fun at the lack of sense within the overall concept, and what damage this responsibility would have on a normal person, as well as the people around them. Wyldstyle and Lord Business both express wounded hearts due to not being "special" like the chosen one, and Vitruvius evidently reveals there ISN'T a chosen one, he just said so to give people hope. But being put in the role of The Chosen One makes Emmet actually become a hero, in the end, and teach that everyone is The Chosen Many. Of course, he technically is The Chosen One in the sense that Finn considers him to be the hero, so it goes both ways. The movie also deconstructs then reconstructs the message of its "Everything Is Awesome" theme song. | |

Magic Realism | |
The LEGO Movie / int_e6ab61d | comment |
Magic Realism: It's never really explained why Emmet's still semi-sentient in the real world, despite the whole film being Finn playing with a LEGO set. One interpretation is it's a Calvin and Hobbes-like merging of different viewpoints of reality — so Emmet's not totally imaginary, he just is as far as The Man Upstairs is concerned. Alternatively, one could think of it as a Toy Story-type situation: even though the toys aren't moving, they feel alive because that's how the child sees them. Or, there are literally two separate worlds that run parallel to each other, with whatever happens in one world affecting what happens in the other. | |

Painful Adhesive Removal: One of Lord Business' keepsakes is a cloak apparently belonging to a great leader, which is actually a band-aid. He claims that it hurts a lot to take off. | |

Rising Water, Rising Tension | |
The LEGO Movie / int_f1029720 | comment |
Rising Water, Rising Tension: The heroes escape from the overrun Cloud Cuckoo Land in a hastily built submarine. As they ponder their options, the wizard Vitruvius wonders why his feet feel wet. It turns out the submarine is leaking badly, and LEGO-water is pouring in. Batman, immersed to his chin, snarls "This is not how Batman dies". Wyldstyle is heard ordering "Abandon ship! Abandon ship!" moments before the doomed craft explodes. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: On the construction site, Emmet is about to report Wyldstyle, when she takes off her hood. And while in the Old West Wyldstyle explains to Emmet about the many worlds of the LEGO universe. Unfortunately, Emmet quickly stops paying attention in favor of ogling her, parodied by her words shifting from exposition to "blah blah blah, I'm so pretty..." | |

Built with LEGO: Not only are the characters LEGO minifigures and everything around them is built out of LEGO blocks, but things like liquids, smoke, fire, lasers, explosions, and even the motion blur are all made of LEGO pieces. The only things that aren't are the occasional "relics". And the humans in the live-action sequence, of course. | |

Ghostly Wail: Played for Laughs. Vitruvius' ghost form was clearly meant to be funny, seeing as the animators deliberately made him appear to be dangling from a string. The hilarity is ramped up by him doing a silly "oooooh" sound as he leaves. | |

Running Gag: Any utterance of "meet me in (x number) seconds/minutes/hours" is immediately followed by a cut to a card saying "(x number) seconds/minutes/hours later". Bad Cop starts kicking chairs everywhere whenever he gets mad. Sometimes pulling chairs out of nowhere just to kick them. Characters making dramatic entrances through large doors which, in the process, fling aside any unfortunate guards who happen to be standing next to those doors at the time. Benny suggesting building a spaceship to solve any problem. | |

Brick Joke | |
The LEGO Movie / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke:note No pun intended. When outlining his plan to defeat the Kragle, Emmet notices that Vitruvius has added an extra slide showing the Kragle and Emmet exploding. When Emmet protests, Vitruvius responds that there's a small chance that the Kragle might explode upon connecting to the Piece of Resistance. Later, when Lord Business takes the Piece, Emmet jokingly warns that it and the Kragle might explode. Sure enough, it does explode a few seconds after being united... because Lord Business put it back into the machine, which promptly malfunctioned with the capped Kragle. A more subtle (and literal) one: when Wyldstyle first tells Emmet to try building something, his first instinct is to combine two useless bricks and throw it at the cop cars. Later, during Wyldstyle's rousing speech, a Bricksburg citizen combines two similar pieces with the same enthusiasm as Emmet had earlier. One of the first things Batman shows off to the party is the Batmobile's sound system. How does he stall Lord Business' Evil Plan? Make them install a sound system. Lord Business says there will be a celebration for Taco Tuesday. The city is later attacked by robot TAKOS. At the end of the film, The Man Upstairs tells Finn that it's Taco Tuesday for dinner. When Emmet and Wyldstyle first meet Vitruvius, he tells them to meet him upstairs in his room in 10 seconds, and they do that after a time card saying "10 seconds later..." The same thing happens when Wyldstyle tells the gang to meet her downstairs in the broadcasting room of the Octan Tower in 10 seconds. | |

The LEGO Movie / int_fe1b2e75 | comment |
Bigger on the Inside: The house that Emmet drives through on the freeway. The stairs are too small to accommodate the width of the motorcycle, there shouldn't be enough room on the staircase to let it turn 90 degrees, and the dimensions inside the house are way bigger than the exterior would allow. The movie gets away with it because it all happens in first-person POV. The underseat coolers of the double-decker couch can each fit a whole Master Builder. | |

Shown Their Work | |
The LEGO Movie / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Plenty, in fact. The directors and animators really took advantage of the wide world of LEGO when making this film. Benny, also known as the "1980-something Space Guy", is the Classic Blue Astronaut figure— and much like his figurines from the 1980s, the bottom part of his helmet is cracked and his space emblem is worn. MetalBeard is built from parts that are commonly found across BIONICLE and Hero Factory sets. All the sets and backgrounds are actually made of LEGO (albeit CG). Even more impressive is that it was all initially built using LEGO's own LEGO Set designing program, which means that everything could actually be physically built assuming you had the necessary pieces. Furthermore, when the Master Builders visualize building something, each piece is seen with its real-world design (part) ID code floating nearby as well. Keeping with the designs of the LEGO minifigs, none of the characters are able to move their elbows, rotate their upper body right or left, or rotate their heads up and down. A BIT of creative licensing is used since their arms can rotate outward somewhat, for elaborate acting, but it's used sparingly. Emmet drives a (slightly modified) 3177 Small Car, a real set from 2011. You can see mold lines, casting imperfections, stress marks and other "real-world" characteristics on the CGI minifigs. And when the lighting allows it, you can even see fingerprint residue on the minifigs' torsos that Finn would have left from playing with them IRL. | |
