FILM NOTES

Warner Bros. Pictures released The Lego Movie in February 2014, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The film arrived as a genuine surprise, transforming a toy brand into a sharp, self-aware animated comedy that earned widespread critical praise and substantial box office returns. It launched a franchise while standing on its own as a clever piece of popular filmmaking, one that resonated with both children and adults in ways few animated features manage.

This cell, confirmed as The Lego Movie - Title Card, preserves the film's opening logo treatment on 35mm. The frame presents the iconic title against a dark field with characteristic blue glow, and one of the three visible exposures shows the logo partially cropped at the right edge, a natural artifact of how this sequence was captured on film.
