3. Varied Locales
Another fantastic aspect about The LEGO Movie is that it never stays in one aesthetic environment, continuously hopping between realms in an act to give audiences something new to look at. It’s a logical decision too, considering that there are so many different kinds of LEGO sets to build, covering so many different licenses and time periods.
The majority of the story is spent in a highly populated city, but quickly expands to more interesting and refreshing themes of the Wild West, the open seas, a cutesy land of positivity, and many more. It also creates an opportunity for many different colour palettes to be used throughout the film, ensuring that no two realms feel like.
The only gripe to have is that since the movie flies by so fast that it occasionally feels that each realm isn’t explored to its fullest extent. Luckily though, this is something that can easily be rectified with a sequel, which is thankfully on the way.
