This is the movie the kids have been waiting for and parents, who grew up playing with the brightly coloured blocks will appreciate it, too.
We find out that the Lego universe consists of several unique layers, one of those is called Middle Zealand, and that everything is awesome.
At the start of the movie we meet our unpretentious hero, a construction worker figure named Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt).
He is a likeable guy, a bit of a goofball and - like many other Lego figures - it's important to Emmet to follow instructions and be part of a team.
Then one day, he spots an unauthorised figure on the building site - a pretty girl who calls herself Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks).
