Okay normally I wouldn’t reblog something like this so soon after the movie came out but I HAVE to tell y’all about this scene
According to Lord and Miller, this scene was an extremely late addition to the movie. As in, “they-had-already-released-the-first-trailer” late.
And the reason that is relevant is because a fan named Preston Mutanga, with his spare time, recreated the entire trailer in LEGO stop motion animation and posted it online after it came out.
Lord and Miller saw the perfect recreation of their trailer, thought it was brilliant, and WROTE IN A LEGO UNIVERSE SCENE in order to get this kid some screen time on one of the biggest animated films ever released.
Mind you, Lord and Miller directed and made THE LEGO MOVIE. And they thought this kid’s trailer was so incredible that instead of making a Lego scene themselves, which they very well could have, they brought him in to work on it.
So while you are watching this movie, know that an extremely cool 14-year-old is telling his friends that he got to personally animate one of the funniest jokes in one of the biggest movies ever made.

hmmm enough talk about the mortifying ordeal of being known let’s talk about the giddy thrill of being known. the startling joy you feel when someone is looking at you and listening with their feet towards you and when you pause they nudge you to keep going.
non-it/its users need to get their shit together fr
ok time to elaborate.
earlier today i was talking to someone and i mentioned one of my friends, and said ‘yeah it was saying-’ and before i could finish my sentence she interrupted me and went “it?” as if i’d misspoken. when i said “yeah, it said-” she looked at me as if i’d like insulted her or something and went “why are you calling your friends its? don’t you mean they?”
i pretty much just went “nevermind” because that’s not worth it (and no i’m not misgendering a friend for someone else’s “comfort” like wtf) but the issue is
this. happens. every. time.
you tell someone else you use it/its? they look at you like you’re fucking insane. 99% of the time they will refuse to use your pronouns because it’s “offensive” to them (yknow what else is offensive? purposely misgendering me when i literally just told you my pronouns). when you talk about a friend who uses it/its pronouns, 99% of the time the other person will try to like. correct you or stop you even though they don’t even know who you’re talking about.
“well they/them is gender neutral too so just use th-” no. my pronouns are it/its. they/them is not it/its. they/them is misgendering.
“but it’s gender neutra-” okay and? if dude said he uses he/him and you used they/them that’s misgendering. why is it okay when it’s it pronouns?
“but it’s offensive to refer to people as-” bitch i am literally referring to myself as it/its. i am telling you directly in plain words that these are the pronouns that make me comfortable. i don’t give a fuck what you think of them they are my pronouns
at this point i settle with they/them because i’m just done having people look at me like i said a slur when i tell them what pronouns i’m comfortable with.
this is why I’ve always supported it/its.
(i mean, besides the obvious reason that IN THIS HOUSE, WE SUPPORT PEOPLE’S PRONOUNS.)
as enbies, it is our holy and sacred right, NAY, RESPONSIBILITY, to utterly destroy every fucking line that anyone attempts to draw around or within the concept of gender.
the way people lose their shit when they hear about it/its pronouns, and the fact that calling us “it” is easily the first thing that bigots go to when they want to insult us, means there is TREMEMDOUS power in fucking with cis people by MAKING them use those pronouns for us.
Take their weapons. Break them. Take their assumptions, and smash them over their damnfool heads.
I CAN’T RECOGNISE ANYONE ON MY DASHBOARD ANYMORE WTF
