Synopsis
Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average Lego minifigure is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Production notes
Released in 3D.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Lord and Miller first gained approval from Warner Bros., then flew to Bricks by the Bay, the Lego convention in Fremont, California, to pitch their idea to Lego executives. At first, Warner's and Lego were unsure if they wanted a live-action or an animated film, so the two directors came up with a scenario combining both techniques.
This film will incorporate some of the LEGO world's most popular figures while introducing several new characters, inviting fans who have enjoyed the brand's innovative toys and hugely popular video games for generations to experience their visually unique LEGO world as never seen before.
