The Lego Movie
1st Teaser Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Chris Pratt as "The Special" Emmett, Will Arnett as Batman, Morgan Freeman as Master Builder Not-Gandalf, an unnamed female super spy, Superman, Wonder Woman, Robin, Green Lantern, Abe Lincoln, The Statue of Liberty, a crash test dummy, a clown, a ghost, The Mermaid, Green Ninja, 1980's-Something Space Guy, Michelangelo (the artist), Michelangelo (the turtle), and the 2002 NBA All-Stars.
Scene Pop: Either of the two giant laser battles.
Briggs Breakdown: 1 thrown shark, a crap ton of lasers, a turbo-charged motorcycle, a flapping glider, the Batwing, and the word "you" stretched for 14 seconds.
Effective?: A bit light on the main plot, and heavy on the kinetic action, but yes.
Check it Out?: Yes. I'm always a sucker for anything that brings multiple worlds or icons together, hence why I was looking for to this film ever since the announcement of Superman and Batman being in it. I genuinely love the animation style; instead of using the fluid 3D movement of the Lego figures present in all of the Lego video games and animation specials, the studio emulated the crude jerkiness present in the plethora of fan Lego stop-motion shorts. Combine it with all of the voice talent and Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street) and you have yourself a winning formula.
