"The main Lego product..." "Don't you mean character?" "Nope!" This is the high quality level of writing I keep coming back for. EDIT: .... Wait, I thought this was Pitch Meeting from Screen Rant, not 24 Reasons The Matrix and The Lego Move are The Same Movie from Couch Tomato...

[@handsomebrick]

A small missed opportunity though, later the pitch guy should have called Emmett a "character" and exec guy should have corrected him and said "don't you mean product?" And pitch guy says "yes, of course" and continues.

[@unculturedswine5583]

​@@handsomebrick the pitch guy only calls them products throughout the whole video which i think is a bit funnier character-wise.

[@williampeterson3498]

But Batman is in this

"Yeah, it's gonna be like flicking through a Lego catalogue with an action movie playing in the background while someone shines a strobe light in your eyes" I can't argue against any of the points this video makes, but I still love the Lego Movie. It's just brilliant.

[@louievito5701]

Best line.

[@iambicpentakill]

It so accurately describes why I had to stop watching it. My brain sensory overloaded

[@HorrorMetalDnD]

I thought the reason that the father had a change of heart was because he was saddened and humbled by his own son making him the villain.

[@claudeanello3362]

Yeah, it can't be a good thing if your children see you as murderous villains.

[@williamjones7751]

"How does that work?" "I don't know" Is the most underrated recurring joke in pitch meeting.

[@johnh8546]

[@aquamarine99911]

"Unclear."

[@ShazeemKhan]

Why?

[@Jnd4220]

It doesn't feel right having "barely an inconvenience" that early.

You never realized that having it that early could be super easy, barely and inconvenience.

So, I gotta be that guy for a minute: The turning point is where the son, playing Emmett, says "you don't have to be the bad guy". It's his son inviting him to be the hero in the son's life, to not be a tyrant who's lost touch with the magical elements in life. The story is about not forgetting to breathe and to dream and to play. :)
