In case its provenance was in doubt

I’m so woefully out of touch with modern film news that I had no idea an animated feature was on the way which centered on the world of LEGO, but it very certainly is. And what would a family-oriented major motion picture release be without the announcement of a game based on said major motion picture?

So it is that we haveThe LEGO Movie Videogame, coming in February to nearly every modern device capable of playing a videogame. It looks like more of what we’ve come to expect from the Traveler’s Tales series of games centered on the globally loved construction blocks, with a less clearly defined content focus. Even the least enjoyable LEGO games in recent years have wound up being tolerable, which is about where my expectations lay for this one.
