Although the animation design of the film is a CG animation produced by 3D modeling, it adopts a method of imitating frame-by-frame shooting, deliberately following the structure of the building blocks and limiting the actions and body language of the characters, fully fitting the temperament of the toy, the more you see behind More and more sense. The sound effects and dubbing of part of the bridge segment deliberately use human voices to make crude simulations. It is basically the feeling that we played with building blocks while doing onomatopoeia when we were young. The audience seemed to watch and play, with a kind of "I'm playing with building blocks to interpret this story." "Fantastic sense of participation.
In order to match the stupid and cuteness of Lego bricks, the story actually adopts an extremely naive model. The good and the bad are distinguished. The plot development does not need to be twisted and bizarre. The logic of the gods is like a swaying children's painting. Artists, only after being educated, we became more and more cautious.
What impressed me most was the final connection between reality and imagination, which became a story of children fighting to defend the innocent imagination and the stubborn and prejudiced adult world. The vigorous building block battle at the end of the film climax seamlessly connects this confrontation in reality. It connects the confused self in reality: when people grow up, they have some gains and losses, and they will naturally become more secure; those who can't afford it can not let go, trying to use stickers like the father in the film to build their own city forever Glue together, control and own the space, but because of this, the footsteps of one's creation are blocked, and the freedom of dreaming is lost. A war of small building blocks reflects the feelings between the gains and losses in life between you and me, and it really improves the theme of the story and the style of the movie.
