What do we know about The LEGO Movie 2 so far?
- Unikitty's new giant warrior form is called "Ultrakatty".
- At some point, Emmet builds a triple-decker couch—and evidently, a "thricycle". (It's a triple-decker unicycle. That is so impractical and amazing.)
- Good Cop (and we can only assume Bad Cop) seems to be making a reappearance! This is weirdly important to 75%+ of the fandom. Because honestly, a huge portion of our fan content is Good Cop/Bad Cop based and if we don't get some more character development for those two we are probably gonna yell. ("Scribble Cop" is included in this LEGO set, and makes a few background appearances in the Dance Together video.)
- PLEASE LET US SEE OUR FAVORITE REFORMED VILLAINS, TLM2 CREW
- I'M REALLY HOPING FOR AT LEAST ONE GOOD COP/BAD COP SCENE. The set linked above includes "Scribble Cop's Office" with "chair-kicking function". If it's Good Cop's office, yet there's chair-kicking going on... we might get that scene yet guys
- Business’s role is credited as being reprised by Will Ferrell on the Wikipedia page.
- I'm lowkey picturing him being torn between nervously trying to help without micromanaging everything and just going NOPE SORRY I DIDN'T DO IT at everything that's happened
- Puppycorn, Unikitty's little brother from the Cartoon Network show Unikitty!, is shown for a moment in the extended trailer.
- New characters include General Sweet Mayhem, Queen Watevra Wa'nabi, Banana, Ice Cream Cone, Roxxi (who I assume is a female mechanic of sorts, from this set), Fuse (who I'm hoping is a robot head who hangs out with Roxxi, but more likely is the guy mechanic), and Mohawk (who, I assume, is the guy with the mohawk).
- Returning characters with new "apocalypse warrior" personas are: Unikitty/Ultrakatty, Surfer Dave/Chainsaw Dave (yikes), Larry the Barista, Mrs. Scratchen-Post and her warrior cats, and to a lesser extent Warrior Lucy.
- also Batman, who has Edginess for Every Occasion™
- Metalbeard appears to be undergoing a few changes to his robotic body. In the holiday short, he's shown as only having his head and chest (get it? get it?), while in the later part of the Dance Together video, he seems to have spider-like robotic legs.
- Benny's spaceman friends are actually named Lenny, Kenny, and Jenny! (Good job, fandom, you totally called it.) Kenny is the yellow spaceman, Lenny is apparently pink, and Jenny is in white.
- We are left to wonder who the red spaceman is. Maybe Denny?
- BATMAN APPARENTLY GETS ROPED INTO MARRYING QUEEN WATEVRA
- According to a recent news article on SlashFilm.com: "Everyone knows that Batman (Will Arnett) flies solo — except when he's fighting in the Justice League, or when he's adopting a legion of orphans that become his close-knit found family, or when he's partying with Alfred. But the one thing that stays constant with Batman: he's a bachelor, or a Bat-chelor if you're feeling wild. Until now. The arrival of Queen Watevra WaNabi shakes things up for Batman, who is roped into marrying the new character and is potentially okay with it."
- DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING
- okay but to be totally honest the more I think about it that could actually be really cute? If this movie is about Finn's sister taking Emmet and the gang (or perhaps just Lucy and friends, at first) to her room—then they'll likely have adventures that a girl would send them on. As a girl, I can confirm that we do tend to marry off our toys when we’re little.
- According to several more recent news articles and the Wikipedia page, Finn's sister's name is Bianca.
- The "main song" for the movie is "This Song's Gonna Get Stuck Inside Your Head"
- spoiler alert: it's catchy
- To get to the Systar System, what do Emmet and Rex Dangervest have to cross? The Stairgate.
- some of the news articles have really great quotes??
- my favorite so far has been CNET's Lego Movie 2 Review, which has sentences like:
"Seriously, the whole endeavour is a crazy moebius strip of postmodern recursive metatextuality. With songs.” and "Jeez, just because kids can work an iPad at six months old, apparently they're expected to get Baudrillardian simulation theory."
- A++ to whoever wrote that article; it's fantastic and I'm still laughing
- SlashFilms quotes the official synopsis as being:
"The much-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, global box office phenomenon that started it all, "The LEGO® Movie 2: The Second Part," reunites the heroes of Bricksburg in an all new action-packed adventure to save their beloved city. It's been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are facing a huge new threat: LEGO DUPLO® invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild. The battle to defeat them and restore harmony to the LEGO universe will take Emmet, Lucy, Batman and their friends to faraway, unexplored worlds, including a strange galaxy where everything is a musical. It will test their courage, creativity and Master Building skills, and reveal just how special they really are."
- it’s in theaters on February 8 and it's going to be AWESOME
(This is by no means a complete list. If you know any more details, please reblog with additions as the movie's release date approaches! Or even after it's past! Go wild! Linked references and pictures are awesome, too.)
