I teach at a predominantly Samoan/Tongan high school in Auckland, and this is the movie my students are most looking forward to - more so than any MCU or Star Wars sequel. Representation can be wonderful!

Man, one of the last working film composers with such old-school sensibilities. I think my favourite score of his was Fievel Goes West with its heavy Copeland influences, but the Commando steel drums will always have a special place in my heart.

Rayman Origins, for sure. While Legends has a richer orchestral score, Origins is just so darn playful it never fails to brighten up a dreary day.

I feel that both Alice: Madness Returns and Psychonauts are more linear takes on Rare's N64 collectathons. The floaty double/triple jumps feel great.

Finn the Human as Tom Sawyer! Though I originally mistook him for Pit in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

James Urbaniak does voice a character who's basically a Lovecraftian Dr Venture.

Don't forget the Lego Movie's Wyldstyle (not Disney, but all within the same year).

We have Maria Bamford and Dylan and a bunch of Olympic curlers, we don't need no Star Wars!

"Try the churrosssss"
"I will Mr President. I will."

AH booboobooboo…

Stick it in your face hole and SLAM IT!

Legomaniac!

"I'm not Jewish"
"Nobody's perfect"

Uff da, Duluth…

I'm probably in the minority here, but I enjoyed Monsters U significantly more than the original. Whereas Inc was sticky and slightly cloying with a middle that dragged, U is slick take on/subversion of college movie tropes with an ending that is sentimental yet surprisingly cynical and logical. "When Mike met Sully"…

In several of the Lego Movie junkets the creators were teasing, TEASING, about the theoretical second season :(

… and the car wash cost $5.

"…and I wear my heart on my sleeve, so when I wiped my face, I got heart all over it."

Ponce! You're a g-g-g DEAD GUY!

I am not programmed to wink, but if I were, I would have winked when I said "your friend".
