Disclosure: Warner Bros. provided the items for review for the #legomoviechallenge, however all opinions are my own.
Aramis loves LEGO®! He has been a fan since the age of 3, where we started him with a LEGO Duplo set. Since then he has been building ever since. In the past few years since turning 5 he’s continued playing with LEGO and growing a collection all while becoming a very good builder.. if I do say so myself. He calls himself “a building master.”
Back in December I took him out to a movie, just the two of us and we saw the trailer for The LEGO Movie. Excited is too “meh” of a term used for the joy we felt about the LEGO movie premiering February 7th. I believe we even high fived each other inside of the theater. What can we say, we were over the moon!
When I was asked if we would be up for a #LEGOmoviechallenge, I’m not going to lie.. I replied..
A thousand times YES!
Ok maybe a little over dramatic, but I knew Aramis would be STOKED!!
We received The LEGO Movie Bad Cop’s Pursuit set.
Let the building begin!
If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram you couldn’t have missed our pictures.
LEGO building is a daddy and son activity at our house. I love that they bond over LEGO. So naturally daddy helped him get set up and off he went. They start by separating the bags and then go bag by bag. Building each bag individually following along the directions. Very meticulous I might add too. We always make sure to build while littler brother is asleep.. He doesn’t eat them, but we’d be in trouble if he did! I sat and watched them build this whole set up. Watching my boys build any LEGO set is truly a sight. I can’t wait til Ezra is old enough to contain himself and join big brother and daddy at the LEGO building table.
The set up did not take long. He made sure to wear his new The LEGO Movie t shirt we also received while he built. I’d say we passed the challenge with flying colors! We had so much fun participating in #TheLEGOmoviechallenge!
To get you pepped up and ready for the LEGO movie, check out the trailer!
A little bit about the movie and who made it happen!
“The LEGO® Movie,” the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, opens in theaters February 7, 2014.
Directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (“21 Jump Street,” “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”), it stars Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Charlie Day, with Liam Neeson andMorgan Freeman.
The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.
Question:
Are you going to watch The LEGO Movie?
Oh how fun! My daughter would go nuts building with that Lego set. And I had no idea there was a Lego moving coming out. How exciting!
You’ll have to take your daughter to the movies Kathryn 🙂

My kids and I are going to see the Lego movie this weekend and we can’t wait. We LOVE Legos!
I hear it’s awesome!!! So are we!
I’ve never been much for Legos, myself. But, my husband and youngest love them. I think they’ll make it a father and son movie night.

Whatta cutiepie! Can’t wait for the movie either, I’m def watching it with my little sisters 🙂
Thanks Pauline! It’s going to be so much fun!
we just got home a few hours ago from seeing The LEGO MOVIE. It was faaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous. Loved it. We will be getting ALL of the LEGO sets for it, I am sure. My son eats, sleeps and breathes LEGO Bricks and really, my whole family spends a lot of time LEGO-ing together 🙂
Ahh that makes me so excited for my son and I to watch it!! The sets are really cute!
I saw the preview for this recently! Looks like a great kids movie
I would have jumped up and down and said a thousand times yes too, hahahaha Kids do love their Legos!
We’re not going to watch the movie in theaters, however, we are planning to rent it when it comes to Redbox 🙂 My husband really wants to see this, however, we find that when we go to children’s movies we get treated odd because we don’t have kids.
Aw that’s too bad Cassie. My sister and her husband they always go to children’s movies. But I know what you mean.
My kids have been begging to see the LEGO movie!! We did a huge LEGO gift for their Christmas present and now they’re just nuts about it! Looks like you guys had fun!
I love the LEGO Christmas your kids got!! Ya’ll did a great job.
Every kid I know is talking about going to the Lego movie this weekend! I’m not sure I’ll be seeing it but I know a bunch of parents who are!
Oh yeah! Our boys got sick so we didn’t get to go 🙁 Def happening next weekend.
We are definitely going to the Lego movie! My five-year old is currently obsessed with Legos, and it’s so cute to watch. I am even excited about the movie.
My sister is going to take her kids to see this today! I’ve seen some of the previews. It looks pretty funny!
What a cute movie. I love Legoland so it would be fun to see this
Aramis looks so thrilled… I’d be too if I got such a great LEGO set. I’d love to see the movie…more out of curiosity. 🙂
My boys have been counting down to the Lego Movie. I think we are going to go this weekend.
We are definitely excited about this one! Your little guy is too cute!
I seriously can not wait to go see the LEGO movie! We are hoping to get to the theater tomorrow to see it!

We missed it this weekend due to illness, hoping we can make it this weekend.
