WOW!!! By no means did I think I would walk out of this movie loving it as much as I did. Besides the animation being amazing, the humor throughout the script was hilarious on so many levels. Whether it was mocking legos/lego play, being a satire of regular day to day life in today's world, or the pop culture references throughout, this movie pretty much had me belly laughing throughout. The voices were PERFECT!!! I have been a huge fan of Chris Pratt and am so glad to see him starting to fully breakout even if it is starting via voiceover. The guy has been the best part of Parks & Recreation on television for years and is going to become a major star in the very near future. The guy is very talented and has a hilarious delivery. Morgan Freeman and Will Arnett were also perfectly voice casted and funny as hell. And then to add a total 180 degress emotional hook to the whole story - there is a very realistic and human element introduced (saying anything more would give too much away) that is introduced towards the end of the movie that takes all the laughs and turns them into a shocking attachment that you didn't even realize you really had to a story about Legos and really drives the story home.
I absolutely recommend that everyone check this movie out. Kids will love it (although they may not understand the scope of the humanized ending). Adults will love it probably even more than the kids because of that ending. This is easily my favorite movie to be released at this point in 2014. Again - never saw me putting those words in writing.
