Wyldstyle:

Crazy Credits
The Warner Bros. Pictures/Warner Animation Group logo is similar to the original installment but with a couple differences:
The background is blue
The byline is changed to "WARNERMEDIA"
When the shield turns to WAG, the banner drops down from the WBP position to accompany the change
And the transition to black with no Village Roadshow Pictures logo.
Lego Movie 2 is the type of sequel which does not require you to have seen the original to understand what's going. Which is lucky for me as I still have not even seen the first one yet, but I am now very interested in doing so.
I might have given a higher score, but I wasn't a fan of all the musical segments. Although I loved the not so subtle jab at the pop music industry in the song "This song is gonna get stuck in your head".
The film was funny, colourful, very well animated and most of all memorable. I think I'll remember this film way more than I'll remember all the other schlock in the theatres. What was that ginger girl in jurrasic world called again? Ah who cares.
All in all I found this a refreshing and inviting film that neither condescendes to the young or alienates adults.
