This is probably still the best movie to be based on a line of toys. In fact, it's pretty much based around the entire one company! How can they base one movie, on an entire company everything they've done?
The writing is clever thinking. Thinking about the company as a whole. What do they do? What is its purpose? Are there any problems with it? What media has it been involved with in the past? The aim of The LEGO Group is to spawn some creativity and fun, with no rules needed. Make the movie like a 100-minute commercial with a plot. It just has everything it needs - a hero's journey, epic climaxes with plastic-defying action, even Biblical implements, everything!
As for the animation, this is such an innovation. Lego has tried before to be stop-motion and CGI, it's such a contrasting challenge to mash the two up in the right way. But they managed to, in a such a way! And in the Lego World, everything seems to be made of Lego! Something that would challenge the film if it were entirely stop-motion. It even references the earliest Brickfilms, so true to the history. You see the texture of CGI-replicated plastic surfaces in nearly every shot (they looked hard at Lego with a microscope during design and animation so they could replicate exactly).
As for the music, such a first for its kind. Unique electronic sounds in its score, and cinematic orchestra intertwining with it. As for its theme, "Everything is Awesome" will probably never get old. It's so catchy you can play it or sing it in pretty much any occasion.
Amazing. You might it, a "Master-Piece".
