robbed at the 2015 oscars, best animated feature worthy it’s genuine peak
Watched it 30 times when I was a kid. Still funny to this day, and one of my favorite movies.
What it loose to?
I think it was because it had live action in it that made it ineligible.
@@MyPlaylistWillSaveAmericaBig Hero 6
@@egg3228 ah, It deserves it, it's also a good movie, although I couldn't choose one of the two if the other disappeared forever.
@@SprayInk-And-CritGlitchnah I don’t think it did. Big Hero 6 is fine but the lego movie obviously broke the mold a lot more than Big Hero did
This movie was almost entirely original characters. But then someone on the team was like “bro we have the rights to Batman we should use that.”
That guy got an immediate raise. Why wouldn't you use Batman if you have him? I could write a love story but if Warner Bros handed me the rights I'm setting it in Gotham.
@@billbill6094 Of course, being set in Gotham, that romance will either be set to "will they/won't they", or end in horrific tragedy. There's almost no inbetween with Gotham.
The Lego Movie understood its audience more than most. It's all in the details; the real registry numbers from the kits, Benny and his aesthetic being a callback to the first Lego Space set from the 80's, and even the blink and you'll miss it Bionicle reference.
And even the Lego Speed Racer that only appears in the failed invasion sequence
Also with bennys design in his helmet having that broken part because those helmets were notorious for breaking in that exact spot
The lego movie should have been an emotionless cash grab but ended up being an amazing movie in its own right that uses the source material perfectly.
I didn’t know that was from the first space set, explains why the figure goes for so much now
It was made with genuine love and a desire to tell a story, not just cashing in on something people like.
This movie could have easily been a soulless cashgrab. But there was genuine love and care put into this.
It really goes to show that even the most bizarre or dumb-sounding idea for a film (or any piece of media for that matter) can work great if it's done right.
Exactly, passion and teamwork man it’s just what we want to see in films.
Yea sadly the second one wasn’t even a quarter of good as the first one.
I love that movies make people realize stuff like this. Batman. BAT-MAN like if you had never heard of comics and super heroes. A dude walks in an says we should do a detective story. But what if he was dressed as a bat. A bat, which is basically a flying rat. Would really say that its gonna influence media and story telling for decades?!?! Yet, it happened and has had a huge influence on cinema(and arguably the world). It's silly to think about, but that the magic of these stories they can make wild ideas work if done right.
"Music, dairy products, coffee, TV shows, surveillance systems, all history books, voting machines.... wait a minute-"
You cannot understand how much I love this joke.
Yeah the last 3 are super sus. Perhaps TV shows too. But funny how he catches on at voting machines
Funny how when this movie was released, EVERYONE expected it to fail.
I remember having my mind be blown away when I learned this wasn’t stop-motion, but rather very highly detailed CGI.
I didn't even know the movie existed, as my ship (Navy) had been underway between when it was announced and when the Movie released. So our ship pulled into port in Bahrain and the theater on base happened to be showing it. I was like "wait.... there's a lego movie?" So I went in with absolutely zero expectations. I never saw a trailer, or anyone talking about it. my first experience was seeing the film in the theater and it was the most pure and perfect way to see it. Coming from a diehard lego fan who has more lego than she has room to sleep.
@@11thDCYou sound fun. :)
yeah probably cause tons of toy stuffs turned to movie just does movie with top priority to just make money. but this lego money does feel like they were made as a passion project. like yes, made to make money but also the movie was made with the love for legos and lego enjoyers. i mean trying to make the lego pieces move as realistically in real life as possible? the small details you'd find in toys like smudges, prints and little cracks and seams? it's a love to animation as well.
I didn't expect it to fail.. but that's because I knew they were doing Lego... most of the new stuff ... well Lego doesn't do that.. so sorry
This movie is an absolute masterpiece. It skilfully avoids feeling like product placement, while still feeling like an actualkid playingwith Legos. The animation is incredible, it's infinitely quotable, funny as hell, and got snubbed big time at the 2015 Academy Awards.
All the product placement makes it feel MORE like just a kid playing with legos, they have a bunch of loose sets and parts and just mash it all together
That part where Morgan freeman is trying to pronounce Gandalf and dumbledore’s names is legit Morgan freeman doing that and saying he wasn’t going to remember those pronunciations for the lines so they kept it in 😂😂😂😂
22:59 apparently according to the Hollywood Reporter this movie took 3 YEARS TO ANIMATE?!
I thought that was spider punk, not the lego movie
@@cookimaus1 I know, right 😂
@@cookimaus1 Either way Phil Lord and Chris miller seemingly have a thing for going maybe a tad too far for anyone to expect with animation.
@@drdewott9154 unfortunately, even from their own animator. Love the movies but some of the alleged work conditions are.. yikes..
Is this movie stop-motion or supposed to look stop-motion
To be fair, no one would ever think to knock only once to open a secret door.
Fun fact: This movie was produced by the creators of Clone High, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. In fact, the Abraham Lincoln figure in this is voiced by Will Forte, which is a Clone High nod and easter egg
And probably most prominently, The Spider-Verse Trilogy!
@@Otisboy121and in housebroken
They're also behind the 21 Jump Street reboot, and I suspect that's how they got Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill to voice Superman and Green Lantern, respectively - probably literally took them from the movie lot to a recording studio one day to record their lines. Maybe it was even something like "ADR for 22JS in the morning, and after lunch break lines for the Lego Movie".
This is what I choose to believe, at least.
Yall also need to watch The Lego Batman Movie. It's so good and a lot of people's favorite Batman movie.
I second this. It’s so good, legitimately could be a contender for best Batman movie
The most impressive thing to me was how they used real pieces for almost everything. Playing the lego games when I was younger, there were a lot of scenes that were not fully "lego". Like the floors and other materials were generic. Like a muddy floor texture to represent a jungle floor. They didn't have the iconic studs LEGO on them. The movie had these pretty much everywhere I can think of. Imagine rendering all of those pieces. Impressive
They literally designed a program that compiled every Lego brick ever made. They wanted the stop motion feel But didn’t have the time, budget, or masochistic streaks necessary to do it.necessary to do it
I actually thought this was stop motion for the longest time. People credit spiderverse for starting the whole stylized animation trend, but I think the lego movie is really what started it. Spiderverse merely elevated the idea to new heights
Either way it's Phil Lord and Christopher Miller lol
I'd even argue they were beginning to break the mold back with cloudy with a chance of meatballs too
Nah stylized animation was always a thing, it was Hollywood that said you know what, everything has to be photoreal cg animation now. Spiderverse just showed people actually putting care and passion into animation actually bleeds through the screen, when you let artjsts approach things artistically it turns out you get art, and people love art.
Not quite, gotta go back a little further than that. The very unique stylized animation trend really started with the 2008 Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, which rejected soft round shapes and realisom for very angular designs & hand painted textures. Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania introduced extreme cartoony squash & stretch animation, Paperman continued CG animation with a hand painted textured look, Feast was groundbreaking for it's flat cell shaded 3D look, The Lego Movie brought in the CG stop motion style, The Peanuts Movie kinda had a stop motion look with how it successfully mimicked the old 2D Peanuts animated style, and the Kung Fu Panda Trilogy brought in very stylized lighting and incredible action sequences. Spiderverse was just the first to combine all of that into one movie, and it introduced the comic book style to 3D animation.
If you guys haven't seen the Lego Batman movie please, u guys gotta watch it. It's even funnier!!!!! Will Arnett was absolutely made for this role! And it's like they said "Hey just go ham" in the solo movie!
The part of this movie that always gets me is when Will Ferrell's character ask his son, "If the construction builder could say something to Lord business, what would he say?"
And when his kid says, "You don't have to be the bad guy." tears me apart.
Imagine realizing that your son thinks of you as the bad guy, and you are the villain in his story. I would feel like the biggest failure as a parent.
Fun Fact: the spaceman Benny is actually voice by Charlie Day, the same actor who plays Luigi in the Mario Movie which now that I think about it, I think this is the first time Chris Pratt, and Charlie Day are in the same movie and someone please correct me if I’m wrong
No ways
Actually Charlie Day also voices Art in Monsters University
@@aidanhester80 really?
Charlie Day voices Luigi in the games, too. He's just Luigi all around.
@@AvalynTheAccursed wha?
It was in fact, CGI done seamlessly to look like stop motion. They scanned thousands of actual LEGO bricks to make the assets, right down to the plastic textures including chips, smudges and cracks on pieces. They then animated them in the style of stop motion Brickfilms (the official term for Lego stopmotion), sticking mostly to the same constraints that actual bricks face (as opposed to other CGI Lego projects where the characters and bricks have much more flexibility, since theyre meant to be seen as people, not as LEGO pieces). And at least in this film, all the effects were also bricks too, like smoke, clouds, lasers, magic, etc (in later LEGO movies they changed some of this, most likely to save time and money a bit)
This movie NEEDED everything to be brick built because of the plot. It’s the mental projection of a kid playing with an actual brick-built city, so it makes sense he sees everything as brick. In ninjago, it’s more of a blend.
Fun Fact: In the Brazilian dub, Lord Business has the same voice actor as Zuko from Avatar, which means that the villain of this movie is, canonically, a Fire Lord too.
The Lego Movie still remains one of my favourite animated movies, not just because I grew up with Lego, but also because it was more than just a commercial film, it was a heartfelt, well written and passionate celebration of the power of imagination and creativity that made the childhoods of countless people, including myself.
There was a joke during the wanted sign in WW West because Bad Cop said none of their facial regcognition scans could identify Emmet because he has the default Minifigure face, and is found on every figure in existence, or in other words, "The most average looking face imaginable"
This movie is a genuine love letter to playing with LEGO.
Fun fact: Master Builder is actually a profession in the Lego Company. They're the people who build all the big display pieces, like you see at Legoland parks and the Lego stores. They're basically considered to be the best Lego builders in the world.
It is vitally important to note that the Lego set depicting the Act 3 spaceship is literally called "Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!"
I was today years old when I realised the "piece of resistance" is a play on words for "pièce de résistance". The kid irl probably saw it written down and thought it was pronounced that way
And I remember watching this in cinema when it first came out and never realised it
In case you guys didn't know fun fact:
"Master builder" is a real life term used to describe the people who make the Lego sets at the LEGO company. 😅😅😂😂🤣🤣
35:50 Shakespeare doing the Worm makes my drama kid heart happy❤️
One of the best animated movies in the past 10 years! Also, looking forward to when they react to The Lego Batman Movie
The Lego Batman Movie was also fantastic. 💜 Haven't seen the 2nd Lego Movie though.
You should. It's a pretty good sequel.
There's a second movie?
@@billbill6094 Yeah, it came out in 2019.
22:48 Omg the joke Boom made got me 🤣
I love how Unikitty and Charlie Morningstar are just alike with their personality on how they’re both really nice until their limits are pushed
These guys can’t stop watching peak fiction, and that’s wonderful.
This is such a great movie need these guys to watch the Lego Batman movie
"Business business business. Numbers. Is this working?"
"Yes."
:D "YAY-"
Even though I never really got into lego, this movie still holds a special place in my child-like heart. Apparently, there weren't high hopes for this movie back then which baffled me. But the end result just proves how any idea/concept can turn into something extraordinary and still remain legendary for many years to come, when executed properly by the right people.
I recommend watching the Batman movie next, seeing how it ironically popped up at the end.
For the first 3 minutes of watching this, I seriously thought the animation was stop motion with legos
They really paid a lot of attention to make sure everything felt like it could be; for example, even the minor things like puffs of smoke and laser blasts are also made of lego pieces.
Edit: There are also some _actual_ stop motion parts, like the videos displayed in the background as Emmet talks Lord Business down (which were, in fact, submitted by real Lego fans), as well as the credits.
One of my favourite childhood movies, even to this day it’s a real fun time. Seeing all these Lego worlds and characters come together was real cool. Love the message this movie has in the end, really resonates with me when I was a kid playing with Lego sometimes. Even now in some ways. 💛
When this came out, the visuals were so good that almost everyone thought that the majority of the movie was actual Stop Motion with maybe some VFX and CGI for certain scenes! THE CGI LOOKS THAT GOOD!
I know that a lot of people disliked the sequel, but I absolutely adored the Lego Movie 2 just as much as the first one, if not more. I would really appreciate it if you watched it anyway!
I was totally a Benny while growing up. This movie is the reason why I now keep my collection of Lego in my rec room, for when the urge to build strikes me.
I remember going to watch this with my cousin when it first came out. It was certainly a sight seeing all the other fully grown adults laughing more at the jokes than all the kids. The whole time my wife and dad were just sitting there staring at me and my cousin collectively losing our minds laughing
Imagine how badass it must be to be a master builder.
Just gonna say this
The Lego company nearly went out of business in the early 2000s
Bionicle was the brand that saved it from total bankruptcy in 2003
Without the success of Bionicle, this movie never would have been able to be made
Lord and miller wouldn’t have been able to pioneer stylized 3D animation
So what I’m saying is
Y’all got Bionicle to thank for the spiderverse movies and the ongoing 3D animation renaissance
Will Arnett as batman is the best thing ever
Honestly I forgot how Heat this movie was. Genuinely phenomenal.
I am pretty sure its completely animated to look like actually lego peices moving around its why it seems like its stop motion cause the animation team did alot of home work to aninate the movie like that properly.
Well my comment was made irrelevant 3 seconds after I posted this and pushed play xD
I always forget how funny this film is until I see it again.
This film was the best of my childhood
18:58 apparently that line was not in the script originally
"Everything is awesome."
19:27 Oh My God I never realized you can see the tracker that's on Emmet until he said something!!! THE DETAILS!!!
One of the best Lego movies of all time, which I cried in twice in two separate movie theatres in 2014. I hope old sets would come back. Plus my first lego film I watch was Lego Adventures of Clutch Powers.
Was incredibly happy to see this when it came out in theaters just because I was a big lego fan, it turned out to be one of the best movies ever. Later I learned the directors worked on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and the two Spider Verse movies.
Mitchells vs. the Machines too, can't forget.
You guys need to watch part two
FINALLY! the pacing of this movie is insane. it blew my 10 y/o mind
6:52 thàts the moment clement figured he was forked up
You gotta watch the second one too!
These movies are GREAT. Like, unironically. The Lego Batman Movie is the best Batman film ever made.
This movie is digitally stop-motion animated. Basically, the studio got full access to LEGO’s archives, which includes hi-res scans of EVERY LEGO PART. they took those scans and basically made a program that allows you to build anything out of digital LEGO bricks and animate it. I know there’s several more steps, but the main take-away is that the show-runners wanted to make sure everything in the movie could actually be built out of LEGO.
i actually got the game of this on my ps3, its amazing, i havent played it in 6 or 7 years i think. but im gonna play it after this video
God I love the animation for LEGO films. It's always so well done and the jokes are endless! Also, 11:54 where President/Lord Business is putting on his high shoes, cape, and hat has always been so satisfying to me, even as a kid. You guys HAVE to watch the second one!
Emmett built a Dopple Couch to watch with all his friends
But he doesn't have any 😢
Interesting; I remember "inventing" that couch as a kid too, and also not having friends. I get how it's sad, but also, very sweet how our soul, through imagination, "compensates" what we can see in the reality we inhabit.
It's insane how good LEGO Movie is. It had no business being such a banger. And what's even crazier is that LEGO Batman and LEGO Movie 2 are also both top tier. I highly recommend watching both.
We're this much closer to Ninjago reactions guys!
Now they need to watch the Lego Batman Movie, it is hilarious
I watched this film 3 times in theaters, and you have no idea the number of details I notices on the subsequent viewings!
It’s soo good even my toddler can’t help but to smile and laugh at this as if he knows what’s going on lol
You have no idea how much genuine joy I had watching you guys react to this movie. I'm so happy you guys love it as much as I do. I beg of you, please watch the other 3 lego movies they've made. You'll enjoy those ones as well.
The Lego Batman Movie is a spin-off to the Lego Movie and there’s also a Lego Movie 2, a Lego Ninjago movie, and a Unikitty show made by Cartoon Network. There’s also a bunch of references in the movie too like the “Magic Portal” the kid uses to send Emmet back to his world is a reference to a Lego stop-motion short film called “The Magic Portal”.
16:42, I _swear_ they took a bit of inspiration from one of the early lego video games. Once you beat "Island Xtreme Stunts" you get access to a vehicle that transforms between a plane, a car, and a speedboat. Spent so much time with that thing as a kid!
It’s great movie, saw in theaters when it first came out. Funny and great cast 😂
I like the second movie too.
Not the plot, but the new characters and their stories :)
The Lego Batman movie is a must watch. Not really related to this one but people loved his character so much they let Will Arnett do his thing. Blue shirt will love it especially because this Batman actually is the narcissist he thinks of Batman as.
The plot is literally just like the matrix😎, seriously, watch a comparison video
A Reaction to The Lego Batman Movie would be awesome!
It's surprisingly good
When you said "we need more recommendations" the end of the video, for some reason, the first movie that popped into my head was Bridge To Terabithia
Being able to create natural light in an animation, was a breakthrough at the time, and this movie, really highlighted it, especially in the whole opening sequence.
this movie changed my life in fifth grade but also we had to sing “everything is awesome” for our elementary graduation 😂😂
You guys got me real good with the Sal clip! XD I've rewatched the entire series so many times i remember most episodes on reflex.
Your guys’ laughter made me smile so much, I needed this
I love how both LEGO Movies have surprisingly deep themes about the real life ways people play with LEGO.
The first movie is fundamentally about the disagreement between people who like to follow the instructions and display their sets on a shelf, and the people who like to mix all their sets together in a tub and build their own wacky made-up stuff, and the moral is that both ways are valid and we should respect the dedication and creativity of everyone.
The sequel delves into how people outgrow LEGO and move past it as they grow older, but that you should never lose sight of the fun you had and how it shaped your imagination and inventiveness, just because your interests might move on to something else.
I would argue this is why these movies were as culturally impactful as they were, despite being obvious cash grabs. Not just because of the unique animation or the memes. Because these movies tap into some universal experiences people had as kids with this amazing toy, and really explores them in a deep and thematically meaningful way.
And don't forget value of family
10 years, feel so old....but still an awesome movie
IDK why but the funniest reoccurring jokes are the LEGOs mispronouncing all the words (Nail Polish, Bandages, and of... ThE KrAgLE!!) it's just funny to me
Interesting fact: The big gear piece on the back of the Super Cycle is actually a 60 tooth gear. This piece unfortunately does not exist, though it was considered at some point.
For some reason when the second movie came out, they made a 10 hour long ad of the "This song is going to get stuck inside your head" song on loop. I don't know why, but I watched the whole thing... it wasn't in english by the end.
This movie is a masterpiece. The whole movie is a giant piece of stop motion. And it’s done solely through Lego pieces and sound effects.
The Everywhere at The End of Time reference to the dementia joke startled me. That album hits very hard.
You just made my day. Thank you guys!
5:14 we broke the main character
What I like about this movie, is that Will Ferrel makes a good villan impression and the same voice of megamind.
I’m relieved that you’re not dead Eric.
I understand you guys like to joke around and there’s nothing wrong with that but please don’t joke about being dead again. So many people are dying for real including a close friend of mine and it’s not funny. And I do care about you guys which is why I was worried.
I really hope you all live a full life.
I remember when this came out and being like "Wow a lego movie sounds cool" and did not expect the absolute love and care put into it that makes it currently a pretty good classic too watch, it has Batman for crying out loud and alot of funny jokes
Unikitty became so popular that got his own show
Strong opinion: this movie is incredible and Lego Batman is somehow even better
Now you definitely have to watch the Lego Batman
The detail in this movie is insane. It's CGI, but every actual LEGO piece you see in the movie is a real piece you could use to recreate what you are seeing in the film. It's absolutely wild the detail they went through to make everything so fluid and true. 2:33 the dots on the brown hair and the fuse lines where the plastic comes together is all in there too.. It's so freaking detailed.
Edit: No way did he look up something during the movie and know that real life scenes were in the movie. lol
This reaction is really fun because it’s more or less exactly how I watched this in theaters all those years ago, fantastic video!
Although the movie is cg animated, I do wonder how the props and stuff were built because obviously there had to be a base for the cg somewhere at Warner Bros
peak movie, genuinely amazing artistically and writing wise
This is one of the movies in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. Im so thankful to have seen it in theaters Not once but twice, First one normal and the second time in 3D. One of the best decisions I ever made and will never regret!
Fun fact! Liam Neeson did both the bad cop and the good cop at the same time when they were recording! He switched between them on the fly!
