Red Carpet Night!! The LEGO Movie™ 4D A New Adventure!! #legoland_ca

MAN I love my job!! I get to do some of the coolest things!! Like walk the RED carpet as a VIP guest at LEGOLAND California for the premier showing of The LEGO® Movie™ 4D A New Adventure.

Alice and I had such a great time on Friday! We were lucky enough to be one of the first people to see the movie! How cool is that?! Even cooler is that I talked to Jenna Elfman. Yup, sat in front of her and her sons for the premier! Y’all know I have a girl crush on Jenna so not only was Alice grinning ear to ear for the movie screening so was The NaNa!!

This was the coolest Red Carpet night!! The voices of the characters along with their families were there and I was in the front row for picture-taking! Yes, I am pretty darn giddy!!

The night was full of bright lights, the red carpet of course, tons of great photo opps and of course the premier showing of The LEGO® Movie™ 4D A New Adventure!!

The theatrical attraction reunites Emmet and friends in an all-new short story combining dazzling 3D computer animation with “4D,” real-world effects such as wind, water and fog. Yes, the water startled me when it first hit!

LEGOLAND California put on a kid-centric premiere with festive music, a taco bar and the introduction of new Park costume characters: Unikitty and Benny! Celebrities strolled the red carpet before entering the LEGO Show Place Theater to celebrate the return of Emmet, Wyldstyle, MetalBeard, Benny and Unikitty.

In 2014, kids around the world embraced the adventures of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the key to saving the world in “The LEGO Movie™,” which went on to gross more than $400 million worldwide.

But what happened after the movie?

Fans can find out starting Saturday, Feb. 6, now that “The LEGO Movie™ 4D A New Adventure” has officially opened at LEGOLAND California Resort.

Returning to voice their iconic characters are actors Elizabeth Banks (Wyldstyle), Nick Offerman (MetalBeard), Charlie Day (Benny) and Alison Brie (Unikitty). Actor, writer and comedian Patton Oswalt voices the scheming Risky Business, brother of movie villain President Business, a new character created exclusively for the attraction.

The LEGO® Movie™ 4D A New Adventure is a 12½-minute story that finds the gang entangled in an Evil Secret Plot involving a mysterious theme park inspired by their adventures in “The LEGO Movie,” one that requires them to call on the Master Builder skills of a surprise ally to save the day.

DSC_2542“The LEGO Movie™ 4D A New Adventure” was directed by Rob Schrab, who is making his feature film directorial debut with “The LEGO Movie Sequel,” set to open May 18, 2018. When it came to designing the attraction, he said a strong story was critical to its success.

“We only spotlight them for a fraction of the amount of time,” he said, “so it’s important to get to the fun as soon as possible. This is the first time Emmet, Wyldstyle and the gang meet since the film.”

Developed in collaboration with LEGOLAND owner Merlin Entertainments Group and Warner Bros. Consumer Products, the attraction was created by Los Angeles-based Pure Imagination Studios with input from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the talented writer-directors who brought “The LEGO Movie” to hilarious life, along with producer Dan Lin.

The result is a delightfully clever blend of the same sly humor and breathtaking, built-with-LEGO visuals that made the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO film a global hit among kids and adults alike.

For Offerman, the opportunity to slip back into MetalBeard’s shoes – er, bricks – was a welcome one.

“I have worked with Rob on ‘Childrens Hospital’ and ‘Parks and Recreation,’ so it was like a nice reunion of old pals from summer camp,” he said of making the attraction. “We just tried to make each other laugh with silly renderings of dead-serious pirate-y mayhem.”

“The LEGO® Movie™ 4D A New Adventure” opens on Feb. 6 at LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad, Calif., following its debut in Florida on Jan. 28, and will soon be playing at all other LEGOLAND theme parks and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers worldwide in 2016.

So, what did Alice think of the movie?? She gave it an enthusiastic 2 thumbs WAY UP!! This is a great movie complete with plenty of fun special effects!! You WILL laugh!!
