'The Lego Movie' Brilliantly Subverts Movie Tropes
The Lego Movie achieves great humor and story with a combination of childish comedy, adult references, irony, and by subverting popular movie tropes.
Supernova - Last in Space (1996)
What is Supernova? 3 really large kids from a planet called Cynot 3. When the Smarmies (sick creatures bent on smothering the world with good will & love) blew up Cynot 3 in a supernova, Art, Jo, & Dave escape only to crash land on a strange world called Earth. With supercomputer/babysitter Pal 4000 at the helm of the spacevan, the guys learn valuable lessons about the Heimlich maneuver, lip sync-ing and making sure their spacevan is powered with plenty of rock & roll. Of course the smarmies are never far behind, as they won't rest until every last Cynotian has been loved to death.
