The TERRIBLE Lego Movie Rip Off

Of course The Lego Movie's unwanted cousin would try to get a piece of the movie magic pie. It's just a shame that no real thought or talent was put in to make it any good. Or for anyone to even decipher WHY the Lego Movie was so successful...

As somebody who had Playmobil as my childhood, they're customisable... In one aspect. The hair. You can take off and remove the hair as you please, but unless it was obvious from the way they look, doing so is a nightmare. Literally the only way you can do it is to pry it off their head, be it with long nails, a certain type of screwdriver, etc.

I have a theory that in the beginning this movie should have been the film of the TV serie "Super 4", and it was pretty good even if it is kinda simple. I said that for 2 reasons: 1) In the Italian Wikipedia in the Super 4 page there is written that in 2018 there will be a Super 4 film and at the end there is this film (I don't know if in the other Wikipedias there is written this); 2) In this movie there are similar things to the tv series: there is an agent who is very intelligent and creates things (the agent from the TV serie is 100 better than the Daniel Ratcliffe one), the setting of the fairyland in the movie is similar to the TV serie's one and other things... I don't know why the producers didn't do a movie about Super 4, it has so much potential than the "Playmobile Movie", they could give much lore in the serie and they could give a true good finale...

The animation is *technically* good. It’s very fluid, the textures are pretty ok for the characters and sets needing to look like plastic, etc. the characters are expressive and the models and characters designs are cute and nice to look at. It’s just not very creative. You can even step away from The Lego Movie and look at both Wreck-It-Ralph movies, the stilted animation of some of the characters being very representative of their respective games. Technically jerky animation isn’t “good” but in that context it’s much better than what we see in the Playmobil movie because emulating a particular look and feel, is more creative and much harder to accomplish, than simply having technically “good” animation.

[@wolfymorgan2379]

I think that what would make this movie at least a little bit better is if the brother actually learned something due to the whole adventure. The film basically now shows that the sister was wrong, even though she kept the whole house, making food for her brother and working hard for their living. I think that it would be better if brother while being kept in the prison was treated horribly wrong, like not getting a lot of food and being insulted. That would give him comparasion of how his sister always treated him right and and that could give him character development. There is a lot of more to fix here but I think that would make the "lesson" more convincing. You still here? How sweet of you! Here, have a cookie 🍪

[@gabija5850]

The premise is relatively interesting, the animators are talented, and the artstyle is great. Too bad the plot is utter, utter trash and the movie is clearly a shameless cash grab, otherwise it could’ve worked

[@torstenscholz6243]

@Dusk Raccoon Yeah, Lego naturally leaves way more room fore creativity, so naturally a movie based on Lego has more potential (not to speak of all the licenses they could use). But still, Playmobil can be a creative toy, too, and at least in Europe it's quite a big thing (Well, I'm from Germany, the country where it comes from, so naturally it's most popular here - I don't know if it's that much a thing in other countries, too), so a movie based on that premise might still have been great, but they wasted its potential almost completely.

Interesting how after the "funny walking scene" of the girl that had just become a playmobil figure, every single playmobil character is suddenly able to bend their knees...

[@scribblesmcgee967]

But then the Lego Movie actually has n=them never bend their knees.

[@Slaydily]

She’s a trendsetter

[@MaryLoveJane]

Obviously it was just done for a funny bit piece, but we could say that bending plastic knees just feels different so it took her a moment to figure it out? The fear of the battle caused her to just jump into running without overthinking it, and once she had done it she understood the difference. And since all the other characters, minus her brother, have always been playmobil, there was no learning curve for them. Still a poor explanation, but it’s the closest thing I can think of that somewhat makes sense if I try to think about it 😅

The part where Marla's plans to travel being interrupted by tragic events plays interestingly now in the era of COVID19, too.

He pitched it to Sony Pictures Animation. Although Sony wanted to buy the pitch, it fell through. Though he was eventually offered to instead direct a little movie they just started working on named *Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse* Honestly, that's a turn of events I did not expect either.

It is fascinating how both movies reflect the passion behind each respective companies, Lego thrived basically due its desire to be ambitious, a system rather than a ready made solution toy, and the users did the rest, using that toy/tool to make awesome things. One of those things being Lego movies that inspired the oficial Lego movies. While playmobile being a ready made solution in Lego style not looking to compete just to be the other like-ish thing.
