Hilarious and heartfelt in the right ways, The Lego Movie also successfully pokes fun at the genre cliches we're all so used to.

It's one of the few movies based on a toy with no explicit story behind it. And it is, so far, the only one that's really good.

The movie is a wonderful surprise, cleverly written and executed brick by brick with a visual panache.

Miller and Lord deserve a hearty pat on the back. Congratulations guys, you've made the best animated film in years.
