We've seen a plethora of movie tie-in with the LEGO company for a long time. From the Lord of the Rings to Star Wars, there's pretty much a LEGO version of pretty much any franchise. So it's really a matter of time that these colorful interlocking plastic bricks have a movie of their own, I'm …

Upcoming Flix Spotlight: The LEGO® Movie Fun Featurettes
Oh who doesn't love LEGO®. The colorful interlocking plastic bricks and an accompanying array of gears are perhaps one of the most universally-loved toys in the world.
