The Lego world is falling apart

Not long ago in a town called Bricksburg, a friendly, upbeat and endlessly optimistic guy named Emmet rose from a most ordinary life to become The Special in the hit animated adventure The Lego Movie. Overcoming his doubts and a lack of any notable skills or experience, this little guy in the bright orange vest bravely followed his destiny to become a Master Builder and—with the help of his friends—saved the city, won Lucy’s heart and helped make “Everything is Awesome” an irresistible dance-party singalong the world over.

Now, five years later, in the new film The Lego Movie 2, Emmet still has a smile on his face and 25 sugars in his coffee every morning. But everything else has fallen to pieces. The surprise Duplo invasion that threatened destruction just behind the first movie’s happy ending has reduced Bricksburg to a wasteland known to its citizens as Apocalypseburg.

The battle to defeat the invaders and restore harmony to the universe will take Emmet, Lucy, Batman and their friends to faraway, unexplored worlds, including a galaxy filled with fantastic planets, strange characters and catchy new songs. It will test their courage, creativity and Master Building skills, and reveal just how special they really are.

Check out The Lego Movie 2 in cinemas now.
