FILM NOTES

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's The Lego Movie arrived in February 2014 through Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow, a production that surprised critics and audiences alike by delivering genuine wit and emotional depth beneath its toy-brand premise. Animated by Animal Logic using a distinctive style that mimicked physical stop-motion, the film became a cultural touchstone of mid-2010s animation and a commercial landmark for the studio.

This cell, titled Emmet - Wyldstyle - Vitruvius, captures three consecutive frames from a single continuous shot grouping the film's three principal characters. Vitruvius appears at the top of the composition, Emmet occupies the centre-lower portion, and Wyldstyle stands to the side against a dark background with partial signage visible behind them. The three-frame run offers a rare opportunity to study the subtle crop variations within one unbroken moment of the film.
