Everything about 'The Lego Movie' is awesome

'The Lego Movie'
"The Lego Movie" is a really good film. I would have recommended it on the strength of the creative animation alone. It's about a lot of things and at times it can really be funny. But believe it or not, it really is mythic in it's scope and ambitions. There is a scene in the film when Emmet, the hero, falls through the abyss. What happens next reminded me of the Hindu story of the holy man who falls out of the mouth of God. What you really need to know is that "The Lego Movie" is about a Father and Son, it is about a rebellious angel who redeems a creator who has forgotten how to play.
