The Lego Movie features a voice cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Banks, Will Ferrell, Will Arnett, Liam Neeson, Alison Brie, Nick Offerman and Chris Pratt with a February 7th, 2014 release date.

“Lord Of The Rings” LEGO Helms Deep

This Lord Of The Rings LEGO edition of Helms Deep was built by Rich-K and Big J and is truly one of the most creative LEGO created film scenes.

It certainly uses a lot. The two used 150,000 LEGO bricks and 1,700 minifigs. I’m sure even Peter Jackson would be impressed.
