The LEGO Movie follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world.
After missing this in the cinema, I couldn't wait for its Blu-ray release, and am so glad to say that it was well worth the wait. The film is the best animated movie I've seen so far this year, filled with fun for all the family, regardless of age.
For the children, it's a non-stop adventure featuring characters they've come to know and love from other shows and films - Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and even an appearance from Gandalf.
For the adults, there are plenty of jokes in there that might go over your children's heads, but will be a lot of fun for you. And it doesn't hurt whatsoever that the voice cast is fantastic, with Chris Pratt leading as everyman Emmet Brickowski (a great example of a little joke for the older audiences).
And of course it has the added bonus of hitting that nostalgic sweet spot; LEGO was something everyone grew up with at one time or another. It's been around for generations, and getting to see it finally have the feature film it deserves is a real treat. To say that co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller do it justice would be a huge understatement.
The two directors launched a new franchise when they helmed Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and then switched gears to live-action with 21 Jump Street. Both films are absolutely hilarious, so my expectations were high when it came to watching The Lego Movie, and they were completely exceeded. Lord and Miller, who also wrote the movie, bring a laugh-a-minute script that keeps everyone entertained from start to finish, young and old alike.
Replicating the stop-motion technique perfectly with their animation, the two have made one of the most memorable animated films to come out in recent years, and cannot wait to see what happens in three years' time when Warner Bros. brings out The Lego Movie 2. I'll definitely be making more of an effort to catch it whilst it's in cinemas.

Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman lend their voices to this CGI-animated comedy based on the line of toys made by Lego. The wicked Lord Business (Will Ferrell) is determined to destroy the Lego universe and rebuild it using glue - which goes against the very nature of Lego. Mistaken as the 'Special', the only surviving Master Builder, the rather ordinary Emmet (Pratt) is selected to lead a group of figures on a mission to put a stop to Lord Business's evil plan. Emmet is helped by wise wizard Vitruvius (Freeman), tough girl Wyldstyle (Banks) and DC superhero Batman (Arnett), but can he find something extraordinary within himself in order to save the world? The film also features the voices of Channing Tatum, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Jonah Hill.
