Watch: THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE Was Incredibly Difficult to Animate

Traditional hand-drawn animation is tough to pull off, but after watching this behind-the-scenes video revealing how difficult the animation for The LEGO Batman Movie was, I have a newfound respect for the specific process of making these LEGO-themed animated movies using computer technology. The sheer number of bricks is staggering, and the scale of some of these sets (one of which would be six and a half football fields wide if it were a physical set) is truly mind-blowing. Massive props to the team at Animal Logic for a job well done on this movie. See how they did it in the video below:

'The Lego Batman Movie' uses an impressive style of animation that replicates the look of real lego bricks. These digital bricks abide by all the rules of real Lego bricks, so they cannot bend or move in an impractical way.
