Because #LEGO characters have no muscular structure and can't articulate in more than a few places, The LEGO Movie actually used other Brick types to create Animation Smears for smoother movement between frames. Such a cool detail that's so easy to miss! 😮

Did you know if you stand Idle in front of the mirror in King Knight's room he plays a one-off custom animation!? The one he plays in-game isn't this one (you'll have to play King of Cards to see!), but at one point I animated King Knight checking out his sweet armored guns!💪👑
