    “Hey you know this game where it’s basically just legos and survival and there’s no story whatsoever? What if we made a live-action movie with people who aren’t legos and wrote a story to it? The fans will obviously love it because it has the same name!”

      Tbf the LEGO movie was pretty good. I’m willing to give a minecraft movie a chance, won’t be happy if it’s shit though.

        The lego movie was good because it wasn’t about the legos though. It used legos as a medium for telling a really heartfelt story about a father and son.

        If they do that with Minecraft, fantastic. I’m just not expecting it in the slightest.

          It also used nothing but lego pieces and had overall amazing animation, complete with the limited movement of lego figures accounted for.

            True, nothing but lego pieces*

            *non-lego pieces that were real-world objects and real human people excluded

          Also because a lot of us played with Legos as kids and the movie properly captured the nostalgic feeling of playing with Legos.

            There are already people feeling nostalgic for Minecraft, more so by the time this movie comes out.

            Sure, and yeah some people are nostalgic for Minecraft, but “The LEGO Movie except it’s Minecraft” is a lousy idea for a movie
