I'm still not over The Lego Movie's Oscar snub
The Lego Movie, which was notably snubbed by the Oscars in 2015, is set to leave Netflix in 2026. Despite initial skepticism about its potential as a film, it has been recognized as a modern animated classic. This departure from the streaming service serves as a reminder to revisit its innovative storytelling and humor.

- ▪The film was initially viewed as a big-budget commercial for Lego, but it proved to be much more.
- ▪Producer Dan Lin was inspired to create the movie after observing his son play with Lego bricks.
