A little while ago, a few of the Sydney based bloggers and I had the rare opportunity not only to catch up but to be invited by Roadshow to the special DVD launch of The Lego Movie with an exclusive Behind the Scenes screening.
To be completely honest, when the twinions first saw it at the cinema months earlier, they didn’t seem to be particularly interested.
I dragged my dad along who was even less so. He fell asleep. In fact, I did too. Oops.
Fast forward a month or two and we have a completely different situation.
I don’t know if it was the lush throne-like seats in the private cinema and the OMGallyoucaneatpopcorn but my little boys had the time of their lives.
Fact: Did you know it took over 15 million Lego pieces to make the movie? Good thing it didn’t happen on my lounge room floor!
Then, there was the even bigger surprise of seeing their heroes, Emmet and Lucy Wyldstyle in person!
Complete delirium! The boys literally collapsed on the floor with excitement.
A mother never knows whether to be embarrassed or amused in these moments. Perhaps, a little bit of both?
Needless to say, the Lego Movie DVD is on constant loop at home. And that song…well…that song…it’s on repeat at home, in the car…in my head.
But hey, happy twins for the win, right?

I haven’t seen it! I must rectify this situation immediately! Is there a character named Bob? Or Sarah? Or Jane? Or Winston? If yes, they are my favourite characters because, you know, that thing they do in the movie that’s so brilliant or funny or sad or clever or whatever. x

My favourite Lego movie character is Princess Unikitty! “Any idea is a good idea… except the ‘not happy’ ones!” I just love that!
Bec @ Seeing the Lighter Side of Parenting says
I definitely love the old, wise guy, whose name I can’t remember – the one Morgan Freeman does the voiceover for:-) So many p#@%takes on what old, wise movie guys usually say!

Come on, it’s Batman! Because it’s Batman! (you look lovely in the pic, btw).

This time I would have to say Unikitty. She reminds me of mothers (and I’m one of them) who try really hard to be happy and stay positive even when we feel like banging our head against the wall (eg when my son screams his lung out because he wants to have crackers and not his dinner).
Linda De says
So my boys would pick Emmet and my little lady likes Lucy..So who made me laugh the most? BATMAN ..I only work in black and sometimes very, very dark grey.
Great one liners and bat pun
Bec @ The Plumbette says
We haven’t seen it but it looked awesome on the ads!

Mama Grace, you look fantabulouuuuss! We haven’t watched it yet but judging from how often it’s brought up among grown men in my husband’s workplace, I think it must be pretty good lol

Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me says
I have only seen snippets of it, and I asked my daughter and she said the girl that lives in the sky and hates it when all the people are mean? I will find out and repost an answer as I’d LOVE to win this for my trio xx

Renee at Mummy, Wife, Me says
Sounds like a wicked event, or should I say awesome? 😉 The Lego Movie hasn’t been on our radar at all I’m afraid. We’ve been stuck in Frozen land for way too long now. Maybe we should go check the lego movie out. Visiting via #teamIBOT

Vitruvius – the smooth rich voice of Morgan Freeman is ‘awesome’ even reading the phone book. His wise positivity is awesome too.

My fave lego movie character is Lucy.. I love that this movie has a strong female character! 🙂
Robo says
We have not seen The Lego Movie. We have not seen Frozen.
I am not a very good parent in this respect but they really don’t seem to care. I think…
Great pics, G!

Michelle V says
Mine would have to be Bad Cop. With his literal double personality and matching faces, it is difficult to go past him! He gave me a real laugh throughout the flick. Thanks for the opportunity to win. I would put this away for a stocking stuffer for my kids, seeing as though Christmas is only 20 weeks away!! (Scary much?!)

The thought of Batman as Lego is sure enough to make me laugh… although I don’t think my kids know who Batman is yet…. x

Sanch @ Living your Imperfect Life says
Everything is awesome! 😀 Haha…just saw the movie on DVD recently and thought it was the cutest!
Favourite character would have to be Wyldstyle — I love how strong she is {even if she was mistakenly in love with Batman} and how she is able to think for herself. And well, kick arse! 😀

I love Lego Batman just love the super hero’s and Lego Batman is not different .
andreea nicolescu says
Batman, because his batman..saving the day! a true superhero in Lego world too.
karina l says
I love Batman! I prefer him in Lego form, so much cuter!
Amanda Gorton says
I’m yet to see The Lego Movie but I heard about the character Unikitty. Being an animal lover she is sure to win my heart!
Grant says

Richard says
My favourite character is Emmet. Not because he looks adorable dressed up as a robot, or because he acts as the loudest barstool ever (although all of this is true). Emmet is my favourite because I still think a double decker couch is a good idea!
Sheryl says
I love Lego Batman – he is so NOT like the Batman we normally see in the movies but I love it!
Karla Oleinikoff says
There once was a Princess Uniktty,
Who was really adorable and pretty.
When she’s angry she turns red,
And fills Lord Business’s minions with dread
And takes on his robots without pity.
Princess Unikitty rocks!
Skye says
Batman! He’s hilarious, arrogant, and completely self involved everything you don’t expect when you think of the caped crusader.
Aroha @ Colours of Sunset says
We are HUGE lego movie fans in this household! And now I will be singing “Everything is awesome!” all day! Thanks Grace! haha. Oh well, at least I’m not singing “Let it goooo, let it goooo!” x

I’m ashamed to say I haven’t seen it, but it looks fantastic and that’s why I’d love to win it. I’d love to have a family movie night to watch this.
Teena Lewis says
I love Lucy, both my girls love lego and not necessarily the girl lego, they love the first responders series!
