[@trolleyfan]

Except for the end titles, the entire movie is actually CGI. The animators did little things like put scratches and fingerprints on all the brick models. And those numbers that show up when they're doing "Master Building?" They're the actual serial numbers for those pieces. "The Lego Movie 2" is just as good. And the "Lego Batman Movie" is perhaps the finest Batman movie ever...;)

[@cheeseburgerowl937]

The machines seen being built by Lord Business on his TV screens during the final battle are also stop-motion; they were contest-winning fan submissions.

[@Lokear]

A few more things are real too, like the "5 hours later" and "8 1/2 years later" title cards (the latter being pasted over the CG of Emmet's face, obviously, but the bricks are real ones.) As the previous reply mentioned, the screens in the TAKOS room were real, and during the director commentary they mention that the buildings in the background during the construction site scenes were also real.

Lego Ninjago is underrated.

[@calvinjohnson6242]

I think it’s so cool that legos have two purposes essentially. It teaches kids how to follow instructions and make something that you could never build yourself, but ALSO how to be creative and build something only you could ever build. This movie shows how everyone is special and creative and unique, and how nobody should ever be put into a box or told what to do. It shows us that we are special, and we shouldn’t be afraid to be ourselves. But it also shows that when people refuse to follow instructions or work together, things can fall apart. Sometimes sticking to the plan, following the leader, or being a part of a team is the right thing to do. When people work together, they can accomplish far more than one person could ever do on their own. They actually turned the purpose of legos into the theme of the movie. The master builders arc was obvious. They were self absorbed, and had to learn how to be a part of a team. If you’ll notice, though Lord Business’s main arc was learning that not everything has to be perfect, his underlying arc was the same as the master builders. He also needed to learn to be a part of a team. On the other end of things, though Lucy’s main arc was learning she didn’t need to be special, the underlying arc was about how sometimes trying too hard to be special is actually conformity. She was putting herself in a box, and needed to be herself. So the themes go both ways. Conformity is both good and bad. Nonconformity can be both good and bad. Trying to force conformity or nonconformity is bad.

[@lykan337]

Essentially in video game context, it's just like minecraft

[@osmanyousif7849]

The fact that this movie wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature (Big Hero 6 was the winner that year), is just insulting.

[@Lucretiel]

So this movie holds an extra special place in my heart. The one and only time I've ever been kicked out of a building because of something I did, it was when I was like 9 years old. I was hanging out with the neighbor kid and we had just built a sick Rock Raider set. After playing a bit, he wanted to take it apart and make something original; I wanted to keep playing with it as it was. The fight we got into over this was so bad that his mom just sent me home. So when an amazing movie comes out that *nails* the core meta-conflict of Lego itself (instructions vs original creation), in addition to being flawlessly executed on its own, it also feels very very special to me specifically.

[@coolguy6624]

It's so cute that when you figure out that "The kragle" is Krazy glue.. and you got super excited 😄

[@emurphy42]

Moments like that are fun, but my favorites are when the first-time watcher says something early (like “is this whole movie animated like this?”) and you think “Yeah, hang on to that thought, that’s gonna be a *big* deal later on”.

[@phousefilms]

Liam Neeson didn't want to record Good Cop and Bad Cop separately, so he just changed his voice between the two, which was hilarious.

[@billfrantz1638]

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) and The Lego Batman Movie (2017) are done in the same style and are just as funny at times. The newest game, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has the same humor mixed with video game action, perfectly balanced to keep things hilarious and entertaining.
