7 Reasons Why The LEGO Movie Didn’t Destroy Our Childhood

When a film based on LEGO was announced, it was perfectly understandable to have doubts and an aura of pessimism that something sacred was being tinkered with. This isn't just another reboot of a prestigious film after all, it's an adaptation of toys that bear strong sentimental value to childhoods - and even adulthoods - around the world.

As you can see, everything about The LEGO Movie is awesome. This a film that could have gone very, very wrong, but luckily we had some very talented animators, writers and directors involved that refused to phone it in and make an animated feature by the numbers.

The LEGO Movie is a movie about creativity and how it resides inside each and every one of us. It is hilarious, smart, and full of fantastic characters, but ultimately has something to say about the way we – both children and adults – interact with not just LEGOs, but all the toys in the world around us.

It’s also a movie that to fully appreciate, you’ll definitely need to watch more than once. That isn’t solely referring to the story elements either, but just the sheer amount of jokes, homages, and little action bits that you will almost certainly miss out on the first time. As previously mentioned, this movie doesn’t waste a single second and is littered with something mesmerising at all times.

And for all those reasons and more, The LEGO Movie did not ruin our childhood, thankfully.
