The Lego Movie animation

"Phil Lord and Christopher Miller irreverently deconstruct the state of the modern blockbuster and deliver a smarter, more satisfying experience in its place, emerging with a fresh franchise for others to build upon." 

"It’s a non-stop blast from beginning to end, jam-packed with a wacky irreverence, dazzling state-of-the-art CGI (...) and a pitch-perfect voice cast headed by Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Ferrell." 

"Finally! A comedy that works. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)" 

"[It] captures both the delight and the frustration of this kind of play (...) Binding “The Lego Movie” together is a 'Matrix'-like conceit that turns the whole thing into an allegory about the nature of creativity and the meaning of amusement." 

"A wickedly smart and funny free-for-all, and sassy enough to shoot well-aimed darts at corporate branding. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" 

"The all-Lego adventure is warm and witty, showing flashes of satire. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"Never before have I felt less like a film was selling me a product, and then left the cinema more desperate to fill my house with the product it wasn't selling. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
