The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is an animated adventure film directed by Mike Mitchell, which hit theaters on February 20, 2019. Serving as a direct sequel to the 2014 hit, the film was penned by original writers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who returned after helming the first installment. Featuring French voice talents such as Arnaud Ducret and Tal Benyerzi (Lucy), the movie will be available on Prime Video starting February 10, 2026. Suitable for viewers aged 6 and up.
Five years after the events in Bricksburg, the Lego city appears to have regained its stability. But a new threat emerges: Lego Duplo® invaders from space are laying waste to everything in their path. Confronted with this peril, Emmet, Lucy, Batman, and their allies must leave their familiar surroundings behind to venture into uncharted territories, far beyond the borders of their world.
Their journey takes them to a unique galaxy where every scenario unfolds as a musical. Blending action, self-mockery, and boundless creativity, the heroes must push beyond their limits as Master Builders. The adventure tests their unity and raises questions about how fictional worlds grow and change alongside those who create them.
The passing of the torch to Mike Mitchell—already known for directing Shrek 4 and Trolls—marks a new chapter for the franchise, while maintaining the meta, referential spirit established by Lord and Miller. Originally scheduled for release in 2018, the film’s arrival was delayed to make room for the Lego Batman and Lego Ninjago spin-offs. The movie is packed with nods to contemporary pop culture, notably through the character Rex Dangervest—a vocal doppelgänger of Emmet, voiced in the original version by Chris Pratt—an overt parody of Pratt’s own action-hero roles.
Building on the success of the original film, this sequel operates on multiple levels, blending childlike humor with references aimed at adult audiences. The absence of certain characters connected to the Marvel or Star Wars univers, due to licensing issues, also highlights the commercial stakes surrounding the Lego brand in cinema. Overall, it fits within the tradition of major contemporary animated family blockbusters, offering both dazzling visual spectacle and a reflection on imagination.
Our Take on The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part:
Once again, The Lego Movie 2 transports us into a universe where Lego characters are forced to live out the adventures scripted by the humans who play with them.
The story picks up five years after the first film. The young boy, now a teenager, has transformed Bricksburg into a tougher, more rebellious place where cuteness is out of style—much to his little sister's dismay, who just wants to play with her brother.
The film features catchy songs with upbeat rhythms and melodies that stick in your head (it's actually the theme of one of them), and, as is typical with Mike Mitchell, it offers plenty of references for adult viewers.
While The Lego Movie 2 is primarily a children's animated film, parents won't be left out—both they and their kids will enjoy this funny and touching movie together.
