Can this be true? A real LEGO Full length movie?

LEGO: The Adventures of Clutch Powers

Not sure if its true or not, saw it in an ad on Facebook.

[Bobskink]

Though this is quite old news, I'll leave this open so that we can actually start discussing the movie once it comes out in just a few days. There was a thread about this in LEGO general Discussion, but it's more appropriate to talk about the actual movie here.

Who's planning on getting/watching it?

I'll get it "for the kids" and maybe I'll just happen to watch. That's how I watched the LEGO Atlantis cartoon last weekend.

I get to go to the "Red Carpet Premiere" at LEGOLAND California and see it on the big screen.

I'll let you know what I think of it.

Picked up the DVD at Walmart today for $15.00. Based on the trailers and clips from the site, it looks like a really fun LEGO movie, looking forward to watching it. Will let you all know what I thought of it after I see it.

Just finished watching, and it's pretty damn good. I had a big grin on my face throughout most of the movie.

Now, do keep in mind that its a LEGO cartoon and intended for kids, but it's not "dumbed down" or inaccessible to adults by any means (there's even a shout-out to AFOLs). There's a good mix of humor, drama, and action. The movie has decent voice work and great animation. Unlike the past Bionicle movies, the renderings of the sets and bricks are pretty much exactly how they look in reality, which is nice. It sets the perfect tone for a movie that crosses so many themes. And it's a blast picking out individual sets that you own as they pop up in the movie. It's constructed as if it's to be the first movie in a series...which I hope they follow through with because I'm really curious as to the identities of the other two bad guys.

Some good characters in here as well. Some we can build from existing pieces, some not. Hopefully LEGO will rectify this soon (hint, hint). I feel comfortable recommending this to any fan of the LEGO systems.

So, I watched it, and without getting into details right now, I loved it, was geeking out a lot while watching it. It was as fun as I was hoping for. So cool seeing the LEGO universe (System anyway) brought to life like that. Knowing very well that it's meant for kids, as Deinonychus mentioned, it isn't dumbed down, any adult with a child like sense of fun and imagination would enjoy it. And as Deinonychus also mentioned, there's a little nod to AFOLs early on, and a Star Wars joke as well (which I thought was really cool, being a huge SW fan).

Also really cool seeing the various current themes used (like Power Miners, Agents, City of course, Space Police, Fantasy Era Castle, and more) and seeing particular sets from those various themes. Not much I didn't like about it, just really good fun, and lots of humor (very, very important). Would have liked to see more take place in LEGO City, but maybe next time. Really liking the characters of Clutch and his team, really hope we'll see them made into actual minifigs.

I'll probably watch it again very soon. More thoughts later! :)

Found this 9 minute video on Youtube. Love the jokes.



Enjoy

"I'm stuck!"



From what I could tell, there was too much placement of the word 'lego' around- Clutch even had the LEGO logo on his sleeve.

I'll have to look around for this movie, though that stuck-legs problem happens to me alot too... The orange-haired guy's accent doesn't seem to match his look.

Well, the movie arrived from Netflix today, so I watched it, and it was great. Bad puns galore, but otherwise very fun and cute, and just the way Legos come to life in my mind when I play with them! I might actually buy this some day. I'd definitely like Peg's hair piece and Prince Varen's crown in a set at some point.
The only sad thing about the movie is that the fact that most of the movie took place in the Fantasy Era Castle world is Lego's last hurrah for this great theme, just like what videogames have been for certain licensed themes.
You will be missed, trolls and skellies.

Well, it's a Lego movie. What did you expect? As someone has already said: In a way, it's just a big commercial.

Yeah, I agree. I would have expected more of a Canadian accent myself. Oh well.
