12 Insane Movie Details You Definitely Missed

7. The Lego Characters Have Visible Thumb Prints - The Lego Movie

The Lego Movie is an undeniably meticulous animated film, constructed with a clear love for the iconic building blocks, while including a brilliantly meta, real-world sting in its tail.

And if all this wasn't enough, those who pay the closest attention to the gorgeous animation might notice a mind-boggling detail - when the movie's Lego characters appear in sufficient lighting conditions, human thumb prints are visible on them.

Many times throughout the film, the concentric circles that comprise a thumb print can be seen, falling in line with the film's third-act live-action surprise.

Between this and the animation's stringent adherence to actual Lego physics, it's surely one of the most detail-orientated animated films ever made.

And yet, 99.8% of viewers won't even notice it.
