So, eventually Phil Lord and Chris Miller are gonna make a bad movie, right? Like not an unsuccessful movie but a straight up BAD movie. It's got to happen eventually. Well, if The LEGO Movie is any indication, that's not going to happen anytime soon.

What would have been just another cheap marketing ploy disguised as a movie was turned into a comedic masterpiece as well as the GREATEST marketing ploy LEGO has ever come up with by having Lord and Miller at the helm.

The LEGO Movie isn't just one of the funniest animated movies ever made, but it's also a biting yet loving satire of America's obsession with toys and nostalgia and nostalgic toys ever made.

From every frame of animation to every last letter in the script, you can tell top to bottom that the people who made this absolutely ADORE everything they're satirizing, from the toys at the center of the story, to the tired chosen one narrative that we've seen in every blockbuster movie since Joseph Campbell first put pen to paper.
