The LEGO Movie 2 had to be moved to 2019, due also of the two anticipated rival animation films of 2017, Despicable Me 3 (2017) & Cars 3 (2017), both of which are the third installment of their respective franchises, as well as an original film, being Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017).

Crazy Credits
The closing credits, like in The Lego Movie, are shown on mono-colored backgrounds of Lego bricks. Here, the credits are written in front of smooth bricks that are surrounded, frame-wise, by the lock bumps, and scroll up after a certain amount of time with each background a different color.

I was sceptical that a sequel to The LEGO Movie could be pulled off, given that movie's twists and turns in the final act. But Lord & Miller's script pulls it off again. It doesn't have the same surprise, but it retains the heart and love of the product that makes it go beyond a "toy commercial" in to a true heartwarming, entertaining, and most of all, funny movie with a great theme embedded in it. It doesn't quite reach the heights of the predecessor, but it comes so very, very close. It'll be hard not to find something or someone to love in this movie.
