The LEGO Movie wowed critics back in 2014 with its clever stop-motion-mimicking animation, visually dazzling design scheme and insightful satire of summer-blockbuster “hero’s journey” cliches; but the biggest surprise of all was the slowly-emerging twist that the entire story had actually been taking place in a sprawling LEGO display in a basement somewhere in the “real” world (and/or the imagination of the small boy playing with it). Even then, the film had one more surprise within the twist itself: poignancy.
