The LEGO Movie

The LEGO MovieThe LEGO Movie isn’t the first animated feature to be developed after a toy line but it’s hard to imagine someone doing one better. Centered around the misadventures of construction worker Emmet Brickowoski (Chris Pratt) and his new friends who take on the evil Lord Business (Will Ferrell), The LEGO Movie is a clever tale that not only delivers one of the most fun movies of the year but leaves the audience with a nice message for both children and their parents.

Filled with some amazing GCI effects crafting a world made entirely of LEGO Bricks which don’t necessarily need 3D to be effective, the movie holds up to multiple viewings. In the true definition of a family film, Emmet’s journey from lifeless drone to the most important character in all of LEGO creation is the kind of story which should play just as well for children and adults. For more on the movie check out my original review.

Wander Over Yonder - The Fancy Party

All the universe’s most powerful villains attend a dinner party held by the Queen Entozoa (Rich Fulcher) who informs the group that before her death she will transfer her 1,000 years of power to the most worthy among them. Lord Hater (Keith Ferguson) is the obvious front runner, but the arrival of Wander (Jack McBrayer) and Sylvia (April Winchell), whom Entozoa finds eminently amusing, does Hater no favors.

Forced to make a tough call, Mike (Aaron Tveit) chooses Jakes over Zelanski (Deniz Akdeniz) forcing the newest member out of the house. Needing Jakes’ experience with smuggling, it’s an easy call for Mike but not all of his teammates see it that way especially given Jakes’ confrontational and acerbic manner only intensified by his increased drinking and depression.
