The Lego Movie is an animated comedy film produced by Warner Bros., and was a critical success when it premiered in 2014. It tells the story of average people-pleasing construction worker Emmet, who stumbles on the fabled Piece of Resistance, an item that has been foretold to save the world from evil Lord Business and his mysterious item, the Kragle. Brimming with both humor and heart, The Lego Movie is a great film for the entire family.

Dixit is a fun game that comes with 84 beautifully illustrated cards depicting dreamlike scenes.

Each round, one person, called the story-teller, chooses one card from their hand, describes a word or phrase about that card, and places it on the table face down. The remaining players also get to choose a card from their hand that they think would match the word or phrase, and also place the card face down on the table. The cards are shuffled, revealed, and each is assigned a number.

Players then secretly vote on which card they think the storyteller played. Points are awarded to those whose cards get votes, but watch out! If too many people vote for your card, you will get no points, which is why the storyteller wants to give only vague or subtle hints about their card rather than outright revealing it.

The movie is currently available on Netflix.
