Hey guys! I know no one asked for it but I felt like we could use a light hearted feel good movie and I've always wanted to give The Lego Movie a try so.... HERE IT IS!! I was really sold on the cast and Will Arnett really outdid himself, as did Chris Pratt and Will Farrell (what are with all these double letters lmao)
ANYWAY... I had a blast watching it and was definitely thrown off by the animation at first since I had never seen a Lego movie before or played any Lego games. So it was completely new to me lol
BUT I really liked the story and it grew on me enough to make me tear by the end so all in all, worth the watch!! I hope you guys enjoy watching with all of my dumb comments hehe!

Should I watch Lego Movie 2 as well? 🤔
I do recommend it. It's not quite as good, but it deserved way better treatment than it got. At the very least, it has an amazing soundtrack.
Please do the Lego Batman movie, too, it is so good.
And The Lego Batman Movie.
Happy Memorial Day Vicky.
Do Lego Batman with will arnett so good
Fun Fact: The people who worked on the movie thought they should have to cast someone else for “Good Cop” but Liam Nelson managed to proved to them that he was able to do it.
Imagine If he did good cop's voice for Aslan
Apparently that's, according to him,closer to his natural voice.
The Scene where he goes from Bad Cop to Good Cop is him doing it in real time, not intercut.
GCBC is so awesome this doesnt even necessarily have to be a reply to this conment i just have to say it every time theyre mentioned
@@jerrylouis8930thats so cool
The part where Will Farrel's character asks his kid, "If the construction guy could say something to Lord Business right now, what would he say?" , knowing that Lord Business represents him, and his son looks him in the eye and says, "You don't have to be the bad guy", just kills me. Imagine realizing that your son thinks you are the villain in his story. I would feel like the biggest failure as a parent. It gets me, every time.
So the writer-directors of this movie didn't get nominated for Best Animated Feature and everyone said it was one of the biggest snubs of the year. But they ended up making an Oscar out of Legos, proceeded to make "Into the Spider-Verse" and won the Oscar by a landslide. Amazing real life story.
IMO, one of the biggest snubs of all time, not just the year. The Lego Movie is still in the top tier of films of the 2010s, not even just animation. But the animation itself kind of even still doesn't quite get the credit it is due. Truly remarkable stuff.
spider-verse isn't good animation imo....The Lego Movie deserved all the praise. SOOOOOOOOO much work has been put into that, a lot of stuff only children and lego fans would get due to the experience of just fiddling around with legos. Its rare to see a movie have so much love poured into it.
@@MarkHWillson It fooled me into thinking it was stop-motion, and I'm someone who is obsessed with LEGO. They added wear, tear, fingerprints and more. The techniques they used with the camera and lighting also really sells the effect.
Not to mention the clever character rigging where they either detach the arms and legs, or they substitute other LEGO pieces to achieve unconventional Minifig movement. Even motion blur is achieved using other LEGO pieces.
My personal favorite example is when the tennis ball comically flattens a Minifig in Cloud Cookooland, and leaves behind a few tiles in the general shape of that Minifig.
I was really shocked at how subversive this was when it came out. A few decades ago, Lego was struggling, and they discovered they could make better earnings by releasing licensed sets for stuff like Star Wars. While doing this saved the company financially, it caused a bit of consternation because the company/toy's ideology had always been about using basic blocks to build whatever you imagined - that was the freedom and the joy of Lego. So, the company went through a bit of an identity crisis, and suddenly some of their biggest customers started to be adults who wanted these big, elaborate licensed sets that they could build and put on shelves - it was kind of the antithesis of what Lego was supposed to be. So the fact that they took all of that stuff and put it into this narrative was really surprising to me. By all rights, this should have been a 90-minute toy commercial filled with dad jokes and toilet humor, but they actually made a movie about creativity and letting go and kinda thumbing their nose at their lucrative licensing deals. It was very surprising.
TBH I can't begin to wrap my mind around how that works, I had one lego set as a kid it was a motor boat and I can understand that kind of toy for a kid at a price a kid can save up for. I fully refuse to buy lego at today prices for myself and would never pay that much for some toy for a kid that comes in a million tiny pieces begging to get lost and accidentally thrown out
I think the best part is how the movie doesn't pick a "right" way to play with LEGO
If you want to go and follow the instructions, go ahead
If you want to build whatever pops into your head, that's completely fine
Because at the end of the day, the LEGO play experience is about the freedom to play how you want.
8:14 "He took off his hair...like a baby."
What kind of bizarre babies do you know whom have the ability to take off their hair?
For anyone who ever sat in a pile of LEGOs with friends, building stuff: somebody always tried to claim ALL the parts of one color, like Batman did. That line hit so deep. This movie gets it.
The funny thing is, Batman uses some red and yellow (mostly transparent yellow) pieces in a fair amount of his builds, especially in the LEGO Batman Movie.
Though to be fair, the vast majority of his pieces are either "black or very, very, dark grey."
This is how you make a kids movie: inventive, fun, hilarious, poignant and inspiring.
And this is how you use a merchandising in the good way!
With a dash of genuine heartstring pulling
Movies like this actually take effort to make though so naturally they're hard to come by.
I love this movie. They just threw everything humor-wise at the wall and almost everything stuck.
honestly a really great movie. the lego company does a really great job at just making fun entertainment.
Amen my friend
@@noahschultz9031 I say this because I've I've recently been playing the new lego star wars and they did a good job at that too
It portrays an authoritarian government that tells everyone to do. Everyone listens, everyone obeys. Except the master builders. They are the revolutionists, or the 'underground' as it were.
They also do a good job at their Lego tv shows like ninjago and the monkey kid etc also their direct to dvd/streaming/digital/etc films too
"SPACESHIP!!!"
That made me almost fall out of my chair in the theaters. 🤣 🤣
I LOVE the little details they put in, like the cracked chinguard on Space Guys Helmet. EVERY SINGLE Lego Helmet i EVER had broke just like that in just a few days... EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
As a kid during the late 70s and early 80s, my whole Lego life was the classic space with the blue and grey bricks. We would build sets and watch Star Wars. No Star Wars lego then. So this movie played an awesome tribute to the classic space and that spaceship in the movie actually has the number on the side that was one up from a famous 1979 spaceship they made. Just a great tribute to a part of our lives. Also, I still have my blue spaceman from the 80s. ;)
Same. I loved the Space Police and Space systems as well as the Castle system. I even had the Space Monorail set. If they weren't so expensive I'd still be building with them today.
Ditto. Born in '73 and I was all about the space Legos as a kid. I wish I still had mine, but I gave all my Lego to a friends kid in the mid 90s. I still stand by that decision, it's just a bittersweet "can't have your cake (Lego) and eat (give it away) too" situation.
@@iDEATH still have all of my classic space, can't let it go.
Original Blacktron is best. Especially that base. 😎(Although as a kid I never understood that their black visors were meant to be see-through, and wondered how they managed to walk around without bumping into things.)
With the crack in the chin of the helmet. That was my favorite part when I saw thin in the theater. No matter how carefully you did anything, that stupid helmet would crack right there.
When I first saw the movie, I admit my expectations weren't high (how good can a movie based on legos can be?), but I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only it was good, actually, it was excellent with a really interesting story that keeps you invested.
Everything in the movie was AWESOME.
Agreed. To be honest I was expecting something on the leveled of what eventually became the emoji movie and I was so glad to be wrong
I had the same feeling when I first heard that it was a thing, but my expectations were raised when I saw the first trailer. Was it possible that this could really be *good*?
Honestly I almost didn't love it. I was about ready to walk out about 1/3 of the way in. I don't know what it was that changed, but it totally turned a corner for me. Now its awesome.
How can LEGO bricks ever be bad? This movie rules absolutely
Yeah there good.
Except when you step on them
@@ARC5555Fives I stepped on a LEGO stud once. Now I'm a cripple after 20 successful but expensive surgeries. Doctors told me it was a very difficult case and they give me maximum 2 years of life left...
My foot would disagree
As a massive Batman fan, I must say that Lego Batman absolutely gets my seal of approval 🦇 🏅
It captures Batman's narcissism better than any other movie.
@@botz77 Hey, now...
@@B-a-t-m-a-n :)
I'm not a batman fan. And Lego batman is fucking awesome. My friends who is a huge batman fan says it's a better batman than the live action batsmen.
Edit: because my phone sucks
This movie honestly had no right being as good as it was. The humour was so on-point it was unbelievable. I think the only other movie that surprised me so much was "Storks"
PLEASE watch INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE!!! One of the best animated films ever, with an incredible cast and great music!
Yeah do that!!!!
Yes. That movie
Yes probably the best spide-man film ever made no cap
they straight up made a new animating technique for it aswell
Agreed. You'll love it and laugh so hard
Aside from the live action bits, this movie is 100% CGI, but it was animated to look like stop-motion. Even so, everything, with the exception of the "relics", were modeled with lego pieces. The 3D models of which were provided by lego. If I remember correctly, lego gave the studio access to their proprietary software for building kits.
Yeah, I believe they also put a lot of effort into making sure that the movements are consistent with physical lego, so the obvious example would be that since normal lego legs can't bend then neither can the ones in the film.
24:46 "It's Will Ferrell!!" with the same energy Scott Lang said "It's the Falcon!!"
When u realize that Free Guy is basically just live action Lego movie ..
That’s what I thought when I saw the trailer
@@thomaspappalardo7589 Toy Story on drugs
Vicky: "Where did they get a giant turkey leg?"
Me: "Giant turkey."
Makes sense.
I think the reason why Emmet's speech is so impacting is that Lego isn't just for one type of child, and it's not just for children either, Lego is basically for everyone to have fun and to have a great level of creative enjoyment. And I think Emmet summed up the Lego brands entire purpose to people that play with them.
It hits hard because it's a universal message about the power of free thought and imagination (the later only being truly possible in an environment that fosters the former), and a person reconnecting with that through the innocence of a child. I think it's something that most of us hold in our hearts to be true, even if we don't think about it much. Plus, it's so deftly handled in this wonderful movie.
Hey everyone, who wants to see Vicky react to more animated movies like The Lego Movie💯💯! Raise your hand ✋🏽😎
Aye
yes please
This was the movie that proved you can make a movie about anything. It just takes a talented group of people to make the thing GOOD.
Animated films to consider watching and reacting to:
- Hayao Miyazaki’s filmography (although best of luck with the Studio Ghibli copyright claims)
- The Iron Giant
- Batman Mask of the Phantasm
- The Lego Batman Movie
- Kubo and the Two Strings (and other Laika studio films)
- The Adventures of Tintin
- Cartoon Saloon movies
I started my channel on Ghibli and it got taken down :)
@@VKunia aw man :( That sucks.
@@VKunia My list of animated movies you should watch is…. The Incredibles, Rise Of The Guardians, The Bad Guys, Rio and Rio 2, maybe even Despicable Me or The Croods 😎⭐️🌟💯💯💯! All these movies are hilarious and super entertaining Vicky. Trust me 👍🏽
@@JustinSambula Rise of guardians is also good animated movie. I like the animation and storytelling
We don't speak of Ghibli around here.
My daughter and I saw this in the theater, and we were singing that song for the next week. Such a fun movie, and fun day at the movies.
p.s. and it still says "EVERYTHING IS AWESOOOOOOME!" on my dry erase board to this day (my daughter wrote it on there when we got home from the movie).
I'm not gonna lie, when Emmet asked "what's the last thing Lord Business expects us to do" and the pirate guy started doing that dance, your expression made me laugh harder than I was prepared to laugh during this video.
I remember when this movie first came out I read a great review. The reviewer went to see it with his young son. When it was over he asked his son if he liked it and his son was in awe and said something like, "It's exactly how I picture it in my head when I play with Lego!"
As someone who owned a few of the Lego Spaceman sets as a kid in the 80's (had a real big one that built a mining robot with large scoops on it)... the best part of the movie is the fact the Spacemans helmet has the god damn break in the chin strap... every single damn helmet from that set eventually breaks in that exact same spot.
That is attention to detail that this 44 year old can appreciate.
Although this was CGI, I believe the creators did have to build everything to make sure it could be done with LEGO
You will love Lego Batman. Also saw a suggestion below for the Iron Giant, also an awesome movie.
When this movie came out, I was getting back into LEGO. Now, I have a huge LEGO city and buy the big buildings and have all kinds of cool scenes almost 100% because of this movie! Great reaction!
Even if it had no plot at all this one would deserve an award for technical achievement. I really wish I could see footage of Allison Brie recording her lines.
Can't believe this movie is 8 years old! When I was a kid my friend and I would recite the movie line for line. Good times!
Whatever it is that you are doing, keep doing it. Its nice to see you happier in this video than you have been.
We had a lot of Legos when I was a kid. Including a couple of the spaceman ones. They did always break in that one spot on their helmets. When I saw that I in the film I was blown away. That was such a deep cut.
I love that when they cut to the dog building, the epic background music is literally saying, "Doggie"
Unikitty is my favorite character. Nice to see someone else appreciate her, too lol. None of my friends could stand her. But like you with Will Arnett, I also just love Alison Brie ever since seeing her in Community.
Apart from the end credits, title cards, and a few videos in the background, the entire movie is CGI animation made to be as similar to real lego stop motion as possible. I absolutely love the style and it hasn't aged a day since the movie's released
thank you for reminding me of this movie, I had a smile on my face the entire time watching your reaction! this was truly a great movie
6:43 "Darn, darn, darn, darny-darn!"
😳 Well _cheese and fries,_ Liam. Are you tryin' to go to _heck?_
As awesome as the whole movie is, Benny's sheer joy when he finally gets to build a spaceship is the absolute highlight of this. Just so happy! XD
"SPACESHIP!"
"This feels like it'd be in some kid's room"
Dude, that's what my room looked like for all my childhood and most of my teens XD
I think I still have like 5-6 boxes full of legos back home :D
8:23 - President Business's cape is Will Farrell's tie in Lego form.
It was way before my time but Charlie Days 1980’s blue spaceman Lego character having a cracked helmet was an amazing touch. I don’t think I ever came across one of those that wasn’t cracked in that same spot.
the casting in this and the writing and everything is just so good
thank you for this. your reaction to Batman's song that he wrote was priceless.
The best Lego animated movie ever, love the reactions so funny. Also your face when Metalbeard is singing is priceless I love it
This is one of the best animated films of all time. This is one of the best comedies of all time. It's high up on my list with Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Hot Fuzz and others.
For WW2 stuffs, I know people suggested The Pacific a lot after Band of Brothers but since its a Series, for movies i would suggest Flags of our Fathers and especially the 2nd one Letters From Iwo Jima.
Will Arnett hosts a reality show where people compete building Legos. It's a lot of fun.
Oh man you got me with the LEGO Racers theme joke 😂😂😂😂that's a throwback for sure
The part where Morgan Freeman mispronounced Dumbledore, was actually in studio...was tired of the retakes so the kept in the whole Audio of him getting frustrated 😂
This is Chris Pratt's best role. It's just a great movie for everyone. My niece and nephew watched it for like a year straight all day everyday. Glad you enjoyed yourself!
personal opinion, second best roll the first is Peter Quill
I remember playing with Lego in the 2000s. Mostly the Bionicle sets! I still collect Lego sets to this day since 2003
27:10 "Why is that making me cry?" Because Emmett was saying that to all of us. And most of us have forgotten or were never told how much power we actually have. And sometimes... We need the reminder. It sounds like you needed one, too. ❤️
Your movie reactions never disappoint, keep doing what your doing.
Oh yeah... this movie is awesome.
Morgan Freeman's "write all that down" line was not in the script. Freeman said that after being confused by frequent changes to the script, and it was added as a joke.
I was born in the late 60s, and grew up with Lego, but not the modern version where everything is based on something or is part of a set. I had a literal bucket of random Lego, and a big, grey mat on which to put them. The mat itself was nothing, it was just the base to hold whatever I could imagine. I always felt that the modern versions were so limiting, telling you what to make, giving you only what you needed to make it, and charging you way too much money for the "privilege" of doing it. So the message of unfettered imagination, of making whatever you can dream of, of not limiting yourself to what fits perfectly together according to the instructions, really resonated.
All the in-universe stuff in this movie is completely CG animated. However, the stuff happening throughout the credits was actually done in stop-motion. If you ever find yourself taking a tour of Warner Studios you will find the set they used on display there
I do love your reactions, keep em coming Vik
You mentioned about the animation looking stop motion like. Well that was the idea, to do it in CGI but to build everything from actual LEGO pieces.
All those numbers you see by the parts are the actual part numbers LEGO uses.
it is such a genius movie
they really got creative the possibilities with lego
everything you see is made out of lego pieces
funny visual comedy that IMO never misses
even the story is really good
@VKunia a lot of the yellow LEGO heads are made with two different faces on them(front and back) and the good cop/bad cop is quite a funny representation of that 🙂
Basically this is a movie abt cosmic horror (like call of Cthulhu type shit)
Emmet sees another world by interacting with a mysterious artifact. President Business collects these artifacts and uses them to do unspeakable and impossible things like erasing someone’s frickin face or permanently cutting off their head.
Emmet finally gets a hazy glimpse of the other world and returns with impossible knowledge and terrifying comprehension
I loved your reaction VKunia so pure and adorable 💛
11:58 if you look closely in the back the pigs explode into sausages when they hit the ground. So many background jokes and details in this movie!
16:35 average ocean gate moment 💀💀💀💀
If you ever get the opportunity to do so safely, you *must* check out the LEGO store in the Mall of America (in Bloomington, MN - right outside of Minneapolis). The sculptures there are old, but still awesome, and will _blow your mind_ .
Everything is awesome ... especially your reactions! Another great reaction, great job.
Unikitty is also mt favourite! Im gonna subscribe after this!
Love this movie! Can’t wait to see your reaction =)
This movie had me and my wife laughing out loud when we watched it. That doesn't happen often. Great movie. Spaceship!!
SPACESHIP!!!
It's all CG but ridiculously good CG. Detail down to the molding marks in the plastic.
"Let's make a movie showing that following instructions is bad and you should think outside of the box!"
"Can we crank out a bunch of Lego sets designed to be put together the way the instructions tell you?"
"Darn right we can!"
Oh, great. Now the Lego Racer theme music is gonna keep popping into my mind for a week. LOL
Some of my first favorited CZcams videos from 2006 were Lego stop-motion videos. Short clips from Lego fans everywhere. Nearly freaked out when this movie came out.
Fly things in stop motion is sort of possible you either edit the picture to remove the thing that is holding what you want to fly or hold the thing that you want to fly and hide your hand
The funniest thing about this movie is imagining Morgan Freeman in a recording studio going "blueugheughueagh" for his death scene
I love the fact that Benny at 23:52 is the space obsessed 10 year old me.
SPACESHIP!!!🤪🤪
This reaction made me actually tear up... Wonderful times! And I realized I've only seen the Finnish dub with my kids, never the original. I need a rewatch.
You Must Know That Morgan Freeman Did Narration For Metro Boomin's "Heroes and Villians" and "Savage Mode 2"
"Come with me if you want to not die" is a reference to Terminator, which stars Chris Pratt's father-in-law. Just a fun FYI.
12:44 "I think I just found my favorite character."
Well, you know, there's _also_ a movie called _The Lego Batman Movie,_ which came out three years _after_ this one.
"I needed something light-hearted"
*Live-Action Will Farrell has entered the chat*
Space LEGO sets from the late 1970s and early 1980s were the best!
7:30 "A bunch of others we don't need to mention..."
I respectfully disagree... those lego sets and different universes were a great childhood for me. 🤣❤🤣❤🤣
You have always been awesome Vicky😍.
For this movie I believe lego created a program or plugin that would take a 3d model and figure out how to build it with lego. That's how they were able to do stuff like the waves
That thing about alligator phrase and tears… Darling, wait till you see Moon Knight)
Love the flair on Brendan Frasier
The movie was all animated and made to look like it was stop motion. They used a low frame rate to give it that look.
15:09 that was funny AF 😂😂😂
I'm not sure if I am thinking of the sequel Lego Movie 2, or one of the Superhero Lego movies, but they're all pretty awesome.
The Lego franchise has great humour. The Batman Lego move is great,. Also check out the Star Wars Lego Holiday Special !
I agree with you! The best characters are Batman and the Princess Unikitty. She's my absolutelly favourite, in fact I have a keychain of her with a led light in her horn and she have her own show called "Unikitty" on HBO Max.
The funniest part for me is the invasion of the creatures of the Duplo World, who they have a child voices because Duplo line is designed for 4 years old kids.
It's all CGI animation, but made in a style to look like stop motion.
The reason is looks so real is because they paid special attention to getting the surface imperfections and smudges correct, like including fingerprints and stuff. Another big reason is because it was the first movie to use ACES (Academy Color Encoding system) which very accurately calculates color and dynamic range.
More info here czcams.com/video/D7Cv7x6jjYQ/video.html
The end credits were stop motion. Everything else was CGI.
16:32 "this is not how Batman dies"😂😂😂😂
The submarine exploding sent chills down my spine .
