In preparation for the release of the first official Lego movie next year, Lego has this week released the first teaser trailer for the movie.
Giving Lego fans a first glimpse at what they can expect from the new Lego movie once it arrives in theatres on February 7th, 2014.
The Lego movie is directed by Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Chris McKay, and stars Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Will Ferrell, and Chris Pratt, to name just a few.
“The Lego Movie follows the story of an ordinary Lego minifigure, mistakenly thought to be the extraordinary MasterBuilder, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil LEGO tyrant from gluing the universe together.”
The Plot and Characters
The plot of the Lego movie centers around Emmet, an ordinary Lego construction worker who is mistakenly identified as the “Special,” a prophesied MasterBuilder who is the key to saving the Lego universe. Emmet is voiced by Chris Pratt, who brings a charming and humorous touch to the character. Alongside Emmet, the movie features a host of other colorful characters, including Wyldstyle (voiced by Elizabeth Banks), a tough and resourceful fighter; Vitruvius (voiced by Morgan Freeman), a wise old wizard; and Batman (voiced by Will Arnett), who adds a dose of superhero flair to the mix.
The antagonist of the movie is President Business, also known as Lord Business, voiced by Will Ferrell. He is a tyrannical leader who plans to glue the Lego universe together, thereby stifling creativity and freedom. The movie’s plot is a classic tale of good versus evil, with a unique Lego twist that makes it both entertaining and thought-provoking.
Animation and Visual Style
One of the standout features of the Lego movie is its animation and visual style. The movie is animated using a combination of traditional stop-motion animation and computer-generated imagery (CGI). This blend of techniques gives the film a distinctive look that captures the tactile feel of real Lego bricks while allowing for dynamic and fluid action sequences. The attention to detail in the animation is remarkable, with each Lego piece rendered to look like its real-life counterpart, complete with scratches, fingerprints, and other imperfections.
The movie’s directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, are known for their work on other animated hits like “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” and “21 Jump Street.” Their experience and creative vision are evident in the Lego movie, which balances humor, action, and heart in a way that appeals to both children and adults.
The teaser trailer released this week offers a tantalizing glimpse of what fans can expect from the movie. It showcases the film’s vibrant animation, witty dialogue, and exciting action sequences. The trailer also hints at the movie’s underlying themes of creativity, teamwork, and the power of imagination.
The Lego movie promises to be a fun and engaging experience for audiences of all ages. With its star-studded cast, innovative animation, and compelling story, it is poised to be a major hit when it hits theaters on February 7th, 2014. Whether you’re a longtime Lego fan or new to the world of Lego, this movie is sure to offer something for everyone.
