Everything is Awesome

In a year that's going to see Captain America II, Need for Speed, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Noah, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, The Hobbit: There & Back Again and How to Train Your Dragon 2, it is entirely possible that the best movie of the year has already arrived.

Reasons include:
This trailer.
This song (BEWARE, do not listen for more than a minute or risk insanity!)
Morgan Freeman.
They made Outtakes!

Serious reasons include it being funny, not just for kids but for pesky grown-up types as well, having a better storyline than most blockbusters (I'm looking at you Transformers 4), some serious voice talent (take a bow Will Arnett, you are truly Batman) and the animation is amazing - there's some element of stop-motion according to the credits, but I could not see where - the attention to detail is incredible. Additionally Will Ferrell and Jadon Sand get props for their roles - probably the most challenging in the film - but I'm not saying which ones for want of spoiling.

One slight criticism and that's some outside influence, probably due to WB producing the film - the DC Lego characters are there but there's a distinct lack of Marvel. I wanted a Hulk moment.
