#11 The Lego Movie
Says the Lego universe's most popular song. So simple, and somehow so brilliant. Construction worker and Lego man Emmett Brickowski (Chris Pratt) is a less-than-brilliant simpleton who lives life by the manual, literally. In the morning, he wakes up and his lives his life by the directions in the manual, step-by-step like the ones that come in the boxes for models that kids around the world buy; it's hysterical when he tries on various outfits until he ends up in his construction uniform. One day's on the site and discovers goth chick Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks) digging around looking for "the piece of resistance" that will keep evil President Business (Will Ferrell) from using the Kragl (Krazy Glue) to end the world as they know it. After Emmett mistakenly finds it instead, he becomes "the special" that has been prophesied about and is tasked with saving the world, despite the fact that he is anything but, brain-wise (besides his ingenious plans to build a double-decker couch,which come in handy later on), Along for the ride to defeat Business and his right-hand man, Bad Cop (Liam Neeson) are wizard Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), spaceman Benny (Charlie Day), sunshine-and-rainbows creature Unikitty (Allison Brie) and Batman (Will Arnett).
There were a couple of glaring Oscar snubs this year, and Lego Movie not being nominated for best animated feature just may be the most glaring-est of them all. Phil Lord and Chris Miller (behind the Jumpstreet reboot as well) created an often hilarious movie with heart to spare, and the way that the lego animation is manipulated is also on a virtuouso level. Shame on you, Academy.
The top 10 is coming in an undecided amount of installments to you very soon! Get excited!
