Boldly going where Toy Story has gone before, The Lego Movie is totally going to make us care about plastic playthings as characters. It’s also going to make us laugh a lot, with voice work from Chris Pratt, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Will Ferrell, Alison Brie, Elizabeth Banks, and Will Arnett. Hopefully Lego’s bevy of licensed properties — franchises like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — will factor in and prompt the biggest nerdgasm since Wreck It Ralph. Seeing Batman in the trailer is promising.
