Can a movie made of plastic bricks keep you entertained for 90+ minutes? Join us as we humorously journey through our unexpected viewing of The Lego Ninjago Movie. We admit, our decision was purely for the laughs, and let's just say we found ourselves multitasking midway. As expected though, we have to dissect Lego Ninjago, and that means we must highlight the film's star-studded voice cast and praise its animation quality.

But is humor enough to save an underwhelming film? While the infamous "L-Loyd" joke brought some smiles, our excitement dwindles as we discuss the film's pacing, length, and missed opportunities with its talented cast. We hit all the classic beats for this episode, from comparing this to other Lego hits like The Lego Movie and Lego Batman to acknowledging our slightly bitter adult perspectives, we leave no stone unturned—or should we say, no brick unstacked.

Letterbox'd Synopsis:  Six young ninjas are tasked with defending their island home of Ninjago. By night, they’re gifted warriors using their skill and awesome fleet of vehicles to fight villains and monsters. By day, they’re ordinary teens struggling against their greatest enemy…high school.

What if your family could save the world from a robot apocalypse? On this episode of Late To The Party, we unpack the electrifying journey of "The Mitchells vs. The Machines," an animated film that blends humor, heartfelt moments, and stunning visuals. Directed by Mike Rianda, this quirky Netflix gem follows a dysfunctional family who unexpectedly become humanity's last hope. As we reflect on the film's initial hurdles and why it took a while to catch our eye, we share our thoughts on its dynamic animation, compelling storytelling, and standout characters.

Comparing it to animated blockbusters like "Into the Spider-Verse" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," we highlight why "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" holds its own despite not having the same level of groundbreaking narrative. Danny McBride’s voice acting and the rest of the cast are standout elements that elevate the film. We also discuss how the movie's portrayal of modern family dynamics and clever comedy make it a must-watch, even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel in storytelling.

Finally, we delve into how the humor and generational jokes play out, comparing it to films like "A Goofy Movie" and "Age of Ultron." We also pit it against recent animated hits on IMDB's recommended watch list. Wrapping up, we acknowledge its accolades at the Annie Awards and Oscars, reinforcing why this film is a solid recommendation for family viewing. 

Letterbox'd Synopsis:  A quirky, dysfunctional family’s road trip is upended when they find themselves in the middle of the robot apocalypse and suddenly become humanity’s unlikeliest last hope.
