A colossal achievement, hard to believe this is 85 years old. Watch all the raindrops in the climatic fight! They make it a little easier with only three realistic humans, but then they add more and more cartoon animals. It's never one chipmunk, it's 16! Amazing.
The story and concept are the strongest part. Dragged down by an uneven production. It feels low-budget and never finds enough creativity to overcome it. Gugu Mbatha-Raw is good.
Exquisitely made, thinking man's Fifty Shades of Grey.
Fantastic bureaucracy until the elevator descends into the basement and into indulgent fantasy. It’s such a singular version of the world I just want to keep exploring it and it’s witty details. Full of wonderful one-liners, throwaway gags, and perfect casting.
Well told, maximalist film, full of heart, songs, and particle effects. Overstuffed and fast, a worthy addition to the canon.

Disney's own telling of it's animation renaissance. The documentary has access to everybody involved at all levels, and it seemed like everyone was willing to talk pretty candidly. It is a success story. A captivating documentary, well made with good interviews and nice footage.
A perfect, cynical, economic masterpiece. Bruce Willis at his peak. And definitely a Christmas movie, it's in the foreground.
It feels like it would be rewarding to go through frame by frame, soaking in all the details and so many Legos. It takes the best aspect of legos and blends it all together, Batman partying with Lando, Doubledoor and the rest. I love the lego movie.
Bizarre, but entertaining enough. The endearing performances carry the film along, while it gets lost in the abrupt shift in tone. It was surprising, it has that going for it.
A worthy sequel to the Lego Movie, just as earnest, now with twice the pop-culture references. Lord and Miller were able to find a great story again. Same great visual style with a little more fluidity to the character design.
