The Lego Cinematic Universe Is More Layered Than You Realized

The idea of a Lego movie seems so simple. There’s a world where Lego characters can talk, have adventures, and that’s it. Well, 2014’s The Lego Movie blew that notion away by introducing both a Lego world and a human world. Now it seems, with The Lego Batman Movie, that’s just the start of an…

Everything is Metal With This Awesome Cover of The Lego Movie Song

Tegan and Sara’s Oscar-nominated track from The Lego Movie is cute, bubbly, and very upbeat. At least it was. Norwegian musician Leo Moracchioli of Frog Leap Studios has released an ear-splicing metal cover of “Everything Is Awesome,” the happy-go-lucky song that Emmet and the other LEGO city characters love to jam to before, during, and…

New Lego Spinoff Movie Is In the Hands of Jason Segel

This seems like a great match: Jason Segel (The Muppets) and Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3) will be writing and directing a LEGO Movie spinoff called “The Billion Brick Race.” That seems pretty perfect. In the same vein as Phil Lord and Chris Miller — who will be producing the spinoff — Segel and Pearce…

Watch The Oscars’ “Everything Is Awesome,” With Will Arnett As Batman

If you missed the epic performance of “Everything Is Awesome” by Tegan and Sara and the Lonely Island, then you also missed Will Arnett, who voices LEGO Batman, making an appearance as the very dour Batman. “Darkness. No parents,” indeed. In another bit of nerdy coolness, according to Chris Miller Arnett’s Batsuit was the Val…

The LEGO Movie Almost Didn’t Get To Include Star Wars

One of the funniest bits in The LEGO Movie is when the Millennium Falcon shows up to come and get Batman. But that Star Wars cameo almost didn’t happen — the makers of the film had to rush to finalize their deal with Lucasfilm before Disney bought the company. Producer Dan Lin explains to The…

The Lego Movie Oscars Snub Is Garbage

This morning, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—an institution that in March of 1995 declared Forrest Gump to be a superior film to Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, and Quiz Show (Quiz Show!)—has decided that The Lego Movie is not one of the five best animated movies of last year. This is not a…

The 2015 Oscar Nominations Have A Lot Of Good And A Lot Of Bad

The 2015 Academy Award nominations are out, and they are actually pretty surprising. How the hell did The Lego Movie not get best animated feature? Meanwhile, Birdman is cleaning house with nine nominations, while it looks like Selma got the big snub. I’m equally surprised the Birdman score wasn’t nominated for an Oscar (although I…

How The LEGO Movie Was Built Brick By Virtual Brick

Christopher Nolan Was Asked to Bless The LEGO Movie‘s Jerk Batman

The LEGO Movie’s version of Batman is not exactly the same guy that prowled the streets of Christopher Nolan’s Gotham. So, according to producer Dan Lin, the production went to both Nolan and Warner Bros. to make sure Will Arnett’s horrible boyfriend version of Batman was okay. Speaking at the Animation Roundtable, Lin said: We…

This Is How We Imagine A LEGO Batman Vs Superman Fight Would Go Down

When Batman fights Superman, Batman uses his cunning to plan for Superman’s every move and exploit his weaknesses. But The LEGO Movie’s version of Batman isn’t quite as clever as his comic and live-action counterparts, so when he battles LEGO Superman, things are a bit…sillier. While we’re waiting for Batman V. Superman to hit theaters,…

LEGO Batman was always pretty secure in the fact that he was much cooler and darker than everyone else in The LEGO Movie, especially Emmet.
