>>81195831
i have a friend that refuses to believe the whole movie wasnt actually stop motion. they did an amazing job with it
>>81196853
its CGI anon
>>81196853
>>81196930
It's both!
>>81196853
>>81196930
oh yea i know, i guess i worded that weirdly. my friend thinks the movie was stop motion
>>81196958
what do you mean?
>>81197248
Not that anon but it is both actually. The animation of the sea is made of actual legos, but the characters are all CG. Not sure if there is any more stop motion in the movie, tho.
>>81197482
the sea animation was CGI, but there were a few scenes that were stop-motion with real Legos.
like the astronaut scene when they're crashing through the various worlds was done with Lord or Miller's personal set
>Bionicle only gets a .5 second mention
>>81197787
Hey, at least it got mentioned.
>>81197787
Why do you think bionicle would necessarily be involved in a movie about minifigs? You don't see minifigs in every Bonicle movie
>it's a LEGO Movie thread
fuck yeah boys
>>81198063
i dusted out the DVD , man it's been over 2 years... timeless classic.
>>81197787
Bionicle was never really LEGO though. It was published under the brand, but it had its own story, its own pieces, its own containers
It could've very well been distributed under megablocks or even its own standalone toy set and nothing would really be different.
>>81198098
.......... It can't be 2 years old already!
>>81198163
>february 2014
>>81198110
This is an extremely odd stance to take. It's like saying Space Police doesn't use the same parts as Castle so it doesn't count as Lego.
Technic existed before and after Bionicle. The Toa were just putting a face and story to the brand, like the Throw-Bots and Robo Riders before them.
>>81198005
Are you from Boston?
>>81198110
>Bionicle was never really LEGO though
Ok, what? See the holes on the side of the fire dude's sword? Those holes are compatible with regular ass lego bricks. Lego, Technic, and Bionicle can all be combined with each other and are all compatible with each other.

>>81198374
No, actually. Star Wars was a big success but Lego still had to pay royalties to Lucasfilm, which wasn't enough to really keep them afloat. Bionicle was an entirely new and original line so pretty much all the profit went to Lego.

This was what really hooked me in. I'm a whore for the games and shorts but when I saw that literally everything in this was LEGO I was fucking hyped
>also that level of detail where nearly every shot has an easter egg or visual gag or just sheer depth and visual appeal
Shit like that is why >>81198465
will never not fucking bug me.
>>81198405
the freaking ANIMATION SMEARS were Lego
>>81198458
I had the same experience. I didn't give half a fuck about it and then everyone said it was great.
It's legitimately my favorite film now
>>81198458
>>trailer looks like shit
I was sold from the "Michaelangelo, Michaelangelo" gag
>>81198587

It looks like they're carrying on that level of detail to the Batman Movie so get hyped.
>>81198339
Still not getting it?
>>81198346
>>81198374
>>81198452
Lego was still going down the drain financially in 2003.
Not putting their money into stupid shit like Jack Stone, Galidor, Znap, Explore or the KidPad anymore was what saved them.
>>81198405
>the little ricochet sparks are Lego pieces

Looks to have the same level of gorgeous animation, but I'm not sure about stretching one gimmick into a full length.I coulda got behind a Benny movie though.
>>81199151
>You know what it is!
looks fun and I love Will Arnet's performance in them.
Cautiously optimistic about it.
>>81199151
Excited, considering it will shit on the hypersaturation of Batman in the media at least to an extent if we go by the second trailer.
Plus if we have moments like "I saved the city again" and they flesh out Batman beyond "I am Batman but a huge dick" they could probably make something of it. Toss in the rest of the supporting characters that have been castand probably some more villains and the Justice League with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill backand it will be solid.
My honest biggest gripe will be if these are just glamour shots and the League or his villains aren't in the movie.

>>81199429

Also you can write in any old fuck for the American President but you can't for the Oscars?
>>81202610
write-in votes don't count
Can someone tell me why The Lego Movie is so revered?
It was generic kid shit, why did everyone start saying it was GOAT? The animation was solid, don't get me wrong, but the jokes were terrible and the only reason I can think of that people liked it was for the brony shit like the unicorn-cat.
>>81198458

>YFW Lego Batman is better than an actual Batman movie

The extreme attention to detail, the social commentary on not only modern civilization but how people play with legos, and the fan service to lego fans.

>Water is actual water and not made of lego

>It was generic kid shit
Name one kid's movie with that much attention to detail and story. Hell, name one kid's movie with animation this good at all.
>The jokes were terrible
Some jokes were obviously pretty dumbed down for a younger audience, but saying that the entire movie was unfunny is ridiculous.
>the only reason I can think of that people liked it was for the brony shit like the unicorn-cat
You're just baiting, right? You can't be serious. Unikitty isn't even popular; if it were, not only this thread, but every Lego Movie thread, would be full of porn of it. I'm not sure how you can compare one annoying cutesy character to fucking bronies, or how you could be deluded enough to think that the only reason anyone could like it is because of one character. If you had said that the only reason you can think of people liking it being the animation, I'd understand; even a complete and utter moron must be aware that the animation in this movie is fucking spectacular. Not to mention the incredible attention to details. Even the story, for a kid's movie, managed to be pretty good. The twist at the end was fucking incredible, and I can't think of any other animated movie with a twist that good.
I guess my point is that I have to know: How could you possibly think that Unikitty is the SOLE reason why people like this movie?
>>81203199
We can only dream, anon.

Someone didn't play with legos as a kid
>>81204296

>>81202808
One of my favourite things was the way the world reflects exactly how a used lego collection functions and looks.
Stuff like a used plaster being among the relics, the mixing and matching by the Master Builders and eventually everyone at the end, and the main threat being Krazy Glue.
Yes it's all set up to the twist but even before that, they really drew on what playing with Lego involved for kids.
>>81198352
It gets me every time. It just feels like there's so much genuine sincerity behind the message of the movie.
>>81202808
>I only work in black and sometimes very very dark gray
Reminded me way too much of my childhood. Me and my buddies would also be clamoring for the black and gray pieces for labs and machines.
