With The LEGO Movie coming out in just a few days (February 7th), there is a lot of excitement building up. The trailers, teasers, and LEGO sets related to the movie, all seem to indicate that this is going to be a great film. Also, according to media reports by people who have seen the pre-screening of the movie, it is going to be an exciting adventure that will appeal to both children and adults, as well as those who are not so familiar with the LEGO hobby and die-hard LEGO fans alike (quite a feat, if you think about it). 🙂
We have discussed The LEGO Movie trailers and The LEGO Movie sets here extensively (and will continue to do so with more reviews), there is one area we haven’t touched on as of yet; books and guides related to The LEGO Movie. And there is quite a few of them! Here I will show you some of the best ones that will give you a better understanding of the characters, the story, and the background of The LEGO Movie.
➡ THE LEGO MOVIE: THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE – If you can only get one LEGO Movie book, get this one. It is full of interesting information about both the movie and the characters. And you also get a sneak-peek of the very exciting summer LEGO Movie sets as we discussed in earlier (see: The LEGO Movie Summer Sets?). Below is the description of the book and a video-review to give you a better idea of the book.
