The Lego Movie (Blu-ray)

Not as good as I thought it would be. Too many characters to keep track of. Lots of yelling over one another. The message was interesting, but it went too fast to figure it out. I plan a second watch to see why it got such a high rating on Wikipedia. A bit disappointing, but I'll watch it again with a clearer mind.

Warner's 1080p AVC transfer, framed at 2.39:1 on a BD-50, is a dazzling demonstration of high-definition animation. Every LEGO surface has tangible texture: tiny scratches, fingerprints, worn decals, and molded seams are readily visible. Colors shift beautifully between Emmet's bright city, dusty Western landscapes, and the icy industrial tones of Lord Business' headquarters. Blacks are deep, contrast is excellent, and edges remain precise without distracting ringing or aliasing. Banding and compression artifacts are virtually absent. This is reference-quality 1080p. The English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix (48 kHz/16-bit) is every bit as accomplished. Bricks scatter convincingly across the soundstage, vehicles sweep between speakers, and explosions deliver satisfying bass. Surrounds remain active during chases and battles, yet small sounds, from clicking pieces to background chatter, retain impressive definition. Mark Mothersbaugh's score and the infectious songs are energetic and spacious without overwhelming dialogue. Voices stay clean and intelligible amid the busiest action. The presentation has excellent dynamics, smooth directional movement, and an enveloping sense of scale. French, Spanish, and Portuguese Dolby Digital 5.1 options and subtitles are also included. The Blu-ray offers a lively commentary with directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller alongside Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, and Alison Brie. Their banter is entertaining, although jokes sometimes crowd out deeper production discussion. Bringing LEGO to Life (13 minutes) and Stories from the Story Team (4 minutes) provide glimpses of the animation and writing process. See It, Build It! (12 minutes) demonstrates models from the film. Additional shorts include Batman's A True Artist, Michelangelo %26 Lincoln: History Cops, Enter the Ninjago, and an early animation test. A sing-along, fan-made films, outtakes, brief deleted scenes, and promotional clips round out the disc. The combo adds a DVD; its original digital redemption has expired. This edition does not include the 3D feature. Directors Lord and Miller turn what might have been a feature-length toy advertisement into a witty, heartfelt celebration of imagination. Ordinary construction worker Emmet (Chris Pratt) is mistaken for a legendary hero and recruited to stop the rigid Lord Business (Will Ferrell). Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Morgan Freeman, and a superb voice ensemble help sustain a rapid barrage of jokes, inventive action, and affectionate pop-culture references. Beneath the exuberance lies a surprisingly moving argument for creativity and individuality. Warner's Blu-ray pairs outstanding video and sound with enjoyable, if somewhat lightweight, extras. A terrific family film and a standout standard Blu-ray.

After seeing "The Lego Movie" with my family last summer, I just HAD to have it. I checked availability for the movie at our local store via Walmart.com. Not in stock, but I could order it site-to-store. I'll point out that the main reason I ordered this from Walmart was for the convenience of adding it immediately to my Vudu account. If you've never created a Vudu account, or linked it to your UltraViolet locker for digital films, then you're missing out on a great way to both watch the movie and keep the actual Blu-ray disk safe and sound. It's the best part about buying Blu-ray disks through Walmart. So, yes, the movie is fantastic and as soon as I scanned my receipt's QR code into the Walmart app, Shazam! There it was in my Vudu queue. And, as promised, the purchase included both Blu-ray and DVD physical disks. The problem was the packaging. It wasn't the sturdy plastic used for most Blu-ray disks. It was thinner, flimsier...and this bothered me. As I mentioned before, I wanted to keep the physical disks safe while still enjoying the movie. By the time I got home, the container already had a crack along the bottom. Fail! (It was a VERY cold day--temp in the single digits--but still!) I don't know if this is typical packaging for site-to-store DVD/Blu-ray disks. And the disks themselves are fine. However, I was disappointed that the container cracked so quickly and wonder how well it will protect the disks in the long term. I have two grandkids to whom I'd like to be able to lend the DVD--but how will the container hold up ?

Bought movie because website stated insta vision, but told by VUDU does not qualify for insta vision if bought thru Market Place not direct thru Walmart. Buyer beware!!! I think by digital multi platform, with code. Personally, I do not care for such disappointment.

We ordered the movie and instantly got our digital copy that we watched on the VUDU app.
