The LEGO movie





The Lego Movie came out recently and it is amazing. It's the first feature length Lego movie. It looks like it could be done in stop motion, which would have been a seriously huge task with the amount of individual pieces involved in the movie, however it is done almost entirely by computer animation. The way the characters move and the back grounds and everything perfectly embodies the idea of real lego blocks. This is because the animators made sure they included aspects of real Lego pieces when creating the characters and the backgrounds. 
Some parts of the Lego movie were created using stop motion, a total of 3,863,484 unique lego bricks are seen in the movie, however to create the movie only using Lego it would take 15,080,330 bricks which would have cost far too much to create the whole movie in stop motion.

I think the movie was beautifully done and even though a lot of it wasn't stop motion, they've really made it look like it's stop motion, and it makes the idea of the Lego movie story being a children's game more authentic looking like stop motion.
