Chris Pratt's animated films to watch on OTT
The Lego Movie - JioCinema, Prime Video
Based on the Lego construction toy line and written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Dan Hageman, and Kevin Hageman, The Lego Movie is an animated adventure comedy film from 2014. A voice cast including Morgan Freeman, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson, and Chris Pratt is among the film's stars.
The plot revolves around Prat's character, Emmet Brickowski, a regular Lego minifigure who joins up with a resistance group to prevent Ferrell, a despotic tycoon, from glueing the entire Lego universe into his idealised version. A typical, rule-abiding LEGO minifigure named Emmet believes he is the most exceptional person alive—the MasterBuilder—and holds the secret to rescuing his LEGO universe in the very first Lego feature film. Emmett joins a group of strangers on a heroic quest to stop a villain from gluing the cosmos together, including an elderly mystic with Morgan Freeman's voice and LEGO Batman with Will Arnett's voice. Emmett is delightfully and woefully unprepared for the adventure. The world's destiny is now in his small, yellow hands.
