'The Lego Movie' Behind The Scenes Featurette

Consider this a primer for the interview with The Lego Movie directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller that we'll run later this afternoon. Their new film takes an unusual approach to building a world out of Lego — or it takes an unusual approach to making the movie. The film is actually built out of Lego, whether via stop-motion animation or using a CG process that actually replicated building the film's characters and sets out of plastic bricks.

This featurette opens a small window on the creation of the film, discussing how some of the film was put together, a process which is illuminated in more detail in our interview.
