THE LEGO MOVIE 2 Trailer Is Out Reminding Everyone That Everything Can Still Be Awesome

After the success of The Lego Movie, it was only a matter of time before Warner Brothers greenlit the sequel. On Tuesday, Warner Brothers released the first trailer for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part which takes place five years since the events of “Taco Tuesday.” Lucy (Elizabeth Banks) and Emmet (Chris Pratt) are currently residing in what was Bricksburg but now resembles a world ripped out of Mad Max. Lego Duplo invaders arrive threatening their way of life taking all who Emmet holds dear prisoner. He’s forced to travel to a strange world where everything is a musical.

Here’s the trailer

I certainly applaud the original direction the sequel is headed and that they brought back most of the original cast for the sequel. It appears writers Christopher Miller, Phillip Lord, Matt Fogel, and Raphel Bob-Waksberg have also made a point to hit on some previous themes involving positivity and empowerment. What did you think of the trailer?
