In the closing credits which you can see here, http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-lego-movie/, it appears that the producers have found a favorite website. Look around 1:02. :-D

    Great observation, and I would agree, there may well be a nod and a wink there, as there is absolutely no reason for the appearance.

    also bearing in mind a lot of "us" would be considered (part of) the target audience!!

    who knows "they" may even be amongst us :)

    I wonder if it would fit within the timescales? I have little knowledge, but one would think they would have everything finished many months ago.

    The end sequence being real animation could easily have been done at the very end OR modified, as could the film - non linear editing sorted that, as well as everything being digital, changes could be made up until the last minute. Even making changes AFTER release, that's how some "films" can have different endings thru interactive input from the viewer..

    Physical "film" is gradually going :( = no cutting room on this one!

    Read the associated article. That end sequence I linked to is entirely and purely stop-motion. The rest of the movie was animated though.

    @Admin It most likely is pure coincidence but I don't recall the owl showing up anywhere else (precedent) and as Graham says it does feel out of place. Those few frames shot with the owl could have been inserted at some point later. There is a point in the article where they mention working within a 2.5 minute allocation and then suddenly they needed it to be 3 minutes.

    @DagsBricks by "real animation" that is what I meant - being an old school ex film/tv geezer - we don't consider computor animation as well "real" animation…

    On a side note check out some of the youtube outtakes I never realized how much acting is involved in VO work, as one actor stated "it's not like narrating" - "it's quite exhausting"!

    Also note how most of the cast and crew are LEGO fans especially the Director Producer and that they all genuinely had fun making this, there was apparently a lot of ad libbing - which drove the animation(computer) crew crazy.

    Anyone NOT seen it yet - go see it - it's honestly one of the best films i've seen, one that needs to be seen more than once to catch all the jokes and innuendos - it's loaded
