The Lego Movie was just so much honest to God fun. The story was far from perfect (though had its moments), but the journey through the different Lego worlds was what pushed it above other recent (non-Pixar) animated blockbusters. It was a nostalgic trip for some, and for others just an amazingly imaginative journey through the creative mind of a child. Some of the characters were pretty lovable, too.
Probably wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly as much had I not played with Lego so much as a kid, but I think that, at the very least, it's a great example of how a good family film should be made.
