More imaginative – and delightful – than the last four Pixar films combined, this animated vision of a world turned into plastic is also the most subversive comedy of the year. It takes theconformist culture of the US, in which junk-fed masses are brainwashed into believing that ‘everything is awesome’, and satirises it more scathingly than Wall-E and Idiocracy combined. The film also wittily features a rebel hero who possesses all the personality of a Pez dispenser and it makes his one-dimensionality a joke that keeps on giving. He's surrounded by a chatty menagerie of Lego figures, from Gandalf to Abe Lincoln, and thanks to them there isn't a moment that stops surprising you. (Warner Bros)
