The Lego Movie is a 2014 3D computer-animated adventure-comedy film directed and written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with the story written by both them and Dan and Kevin Hageman; while the film features a few live-action scenes, it is primarily an animated film. Based on the Lego line of construction toys, the story focuses on an ordinary Lego minifigure who finds himself being the only one to help a resistance stop a tyrannical businessman from gluing everything in the Lego worlds into his vision of perfection. Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman provide their voices for the film's main characters. The Lego Movie is the first film produced by Warner Animation Group since the release of Looney Tunes: Back in Action in 2003, and was an international co-production of the United States, Australia and Denmark, with it dedicated to the memory of Kathleen Fleming, the former director of entertainment development of the Lego company, following her death in Cancun, Mexico in April 2013.
The film was released theatrically on February 7, 2014 through Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures to near-unanimous acclaim; critics praised its visual style, humor, voice cast and heartwarming message. It earned more than $257 million in the U.S. and Canada and $210 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of over $469 million, with the film winning the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film, the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Animated Feature, and the Saturn Award for Best Animated Film; it was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film and an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for "Everything Is Awesome".
