Ok, first thing’s first: this is basically just a seventeen-minute ad for LEGO products. That’s just a fact. That said, it’s a very well-made little short film, featuring some pretty wonderful 3D animation. It’s very Pixar-esque. It’s also just an interesting story, to see how LEGOs grew out of a lone carpenter making and selling his own toys to support his family.
It’s an enjoyable little diversion, if nothing else. I also really want to go play around with some LEGOs now. I saw some LEGO Lord of the Rings stuff at Target the other day, and I desperately want some.
