Chris Pratt and Elizabeth Banks once again
voice Emmet and Wyldstyle in this new brick world, where the
story of the plastic characters runs in parallel to that of
young boy Finn who has built the Lego world and is getting
frustrated with having to share his playtime with his younger
sister Bianca.
After Wyldstyle and several other quirky mini figure characters
are captured and taken to alien Queen Whatevra Wa'Nabi, Emmet
sets off on a mission to rescue them whilst challenging what it
means to be a man in the process.
"It's slightly revolutionary that there's this incredible male
character ... Emmet who wins everything through love and
optimism and not through fisticuffs," Banks told Reuters.
The film is set five years after the original "Lego Movie",
which took around $470 million at the box office worldwide.
While "Everything is Awesome" was the catchy theme song of the
first film, the sequel has "This Song's Going to Get Stuck
Inside Your Head" as its new tune.
"As these characters age up, that's the time they start to
realize 'Well, not everything is awesome and the world isn't
perfect'," writer/producer Christopher Miller said.
"Once you realize that, we thought you can either make a choice
to either be cynical or angry or broody or dark about it or you
can make a choice to be kind and positive and empathetic."
