The Second Part."

All right.

Here we are in Bricksburg, which

has been destroyed by Duplo aliens,

leaving it apocalyptic.

And Lucy and Emmet and Battlecatty

are checking out a new evolved alien that's just arrived,

and she spotted Emmet dancing.

“Uh, oh.”

So it was a real challenge to make

sure that in the animation that we could only

use Lego bricks that really exist in the real world

even though this is all done on the computer.

So we made sure everything has a handmade feel

and that we're only using Lego brick for everything

including the smoke, including the dust,

including the explosions.

And if you look closely, everything's dusty.

Sometimes there's fingerprints on the Lego.

This is them master building a getaway car, Chris Pratt

and Elizabeth Banks.

“Snazzy racing stripes.”

For this film we're designing new things

with our production designer, Patrick Hanenberger

and art director Kristen Anderson.

But we're also working hand in hand with Lego.

And as they're building toys, they're

helping us design as well.

So it's like a back and forth that we

had between our artists and our animators and the toy

makers, as well.

There's a blinker gag that I stole from a SpongeBob movie,

I directed, that was cut out.

And even that stream of smoke, everything

is made out of a brick.

“I can't believe another year has passed.”

“Wrong flare!”

“Should old acquaintance — “

“Alfred, battle cars.”

“Undeniably, Apocalypseburg is a nod to Mad Max

without stealing from Mad Max.

But it was really fun to do all

these apocalyptic vehicles and this dusty look,

but all through the whimsical lens of Lego.”

[screaming]

“We're alive!

Aah!”

“Love you.”

“I love you more.

These stars and hearts are voiced

by the children of our editors, Wyatt Jones

and Claire Knight.

And I believe they're around seven years

old when we recorded them.”

“Wee!”

“Hello!”

“Hurray!”
