The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is a 2019 live-action/computer-animated adventure comedy film produced by Warner Animation Group, Lego System A/S, Rideback, Lord Miller Productions, and Vertigo Entertainment, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was directed by Mike Mitchell from a screenplay by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The film is the sequel to The Lego Movie (2014) and the fourth installment in The Lego Movie franchise, while being the last film of the series produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film stars Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Alison Brie, Nick Offerman, and Will Ferrell reprising their roles from the previous film, while new cast members include Stephanie Beatriz, Tiffany Haddish, and Maya Rudolph. In addition to Pratt reprising his role, he also voiced a new character. A collaboration between production houses from the United States, Australia, and Denmark, the film takes place five years after the events of Taco Tuesday and follows Emmet Brickowski (Pratt), Lucy (Banks) and their friends, who travel into the Systar System to test their skills and creativity, while Emmet deals with a coming cataclysm known as "Armamageddon". Plans for a sequel to The Lego Movie began in February 2014 and were announced to be in the works, four days before the release of the first film. It was announced that the film would be directed by Chris McKay while Phil Lord and Christopher Miller remained as writers and producers in March 2014. The film has since undergone many changes, such as rewrites, directors, and release dates, with Mike Mitchell being later announced as the new director in February 2017. Production for the film began in October 2017, with the majority of the cast members returning to voice the characters in mid-2018, along with the new cast. As with all its previous installments in the franchise, the animation was provided by Animal Logic. To improve on-screen detail and depth-of-field, the production of the film took advantage of the latest update to its trace renderer Glimpse. Mark Mothersbaugh, who composed The Lego Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie, returned to compose the film's musical score, with artists such as Dillon Francis, Beck, Robyn and The Lonely Island performing new original songs for the film. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part premiered in Los Angeles on February 2, 2019, and was released in the United States on February 8, 2019. It received generally positive reviews. Despite grossing $199.6 million worldwide against a budget of $99 million, the film became the franchise's second box office disappointment after The Lego Ninjago Movie, which led Universal Pictures to acquired the film rights to the Lego brand in 2020, which was later set for a five-year deal. The first Lego film under Universal's tenure of the film rights, Piece by Piece, is set for release on October 11, 2024, while a new film in The Lego Movie franchise is in development.
You do care. I knew there was some sweetness under that darkness. What are you talking about? You're the bad guys, okay? Maybe in your world. But here, we don't see it that way. Okay, no, no, no. Uh-uh. Your whole costume and mask and all the stomping around acting like you're the boss of us... Because it's the only way you'll listen! I tried to wear a mask and talk tough, a language I thought you'd understand, and it totally did not work. All we wanna do is unite our worlds in peace. Why didn't you guys just tell us that? We tried. The queen sang a whole song about how not evil she was. That was the truth? You guys are terrible communicators. I know. Come with me. For years, we've tried to join you, to play with you. But you've always pushed us away. Now all of our fighting has brought us to the brink of Armamageddon. But this wedding can change all that. Bring us together and stop Armamageddon. It'll make everything awesome again. But everything isn't awesome, it's, it's, uh...

Stop, Ems. You don't know what you're doing! This isn't the real you. This is the real me. The truth is, this is my real hair. I used to sing and dance and have colorful hair. And I even loved "Everything Is Awesome." No, no. You would've told me. You hate that music. It isn't you. Yes, I darkened my hair with marker, 'cause I wanted people to think I was cool and grown up. And then I tried to change you into someone tough, too. And I was wrong. I like you the way you were. Sweet, innocent, kind.
