Warner Bros. is ramping up their promotion of The LEGO® Movie, which genuinely seems like a very funny and smart film, with a new featurette and a load of new stills!

The featurette, called “Behind the Bricks” is a funny video featuring the film’s characters telling fans what they can expect to see in theaters. The stills, below in the gallery, show the type of fun and whimsy that has become part of the LEGO® trademark. If you’ve played the video games, you know all about the type of silly, intelligent jokes and humor the LEGO® characters exhibit and thankfully, there’s more than enough to go around in this film.

The film is directed and written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with a story by Dan Hageman, Kevin Hageman, Lord and Miller. The film stars Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Charlie Day, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman. The LEGO® Movie will be in theaters Feb. 7. Here’s more about the film:

“The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.”
