Toy Story 2
100%TomatometerSome things are too good to shelve.
LITTLE DREAMERS · BIG FEELINGS
Piece by Piece.
A musician builds his life story from sound, color and LEGO bricks.
Pharrell Williams looks back on his childhood in Virginia, his partnership with Chad Hugo and the music that carried him into a wider world. Interviews with Williams and his collaborators are recreated through LEGO animation, turning memories, creative experiments and career setbacks into a colorful account of finding a distinctive musical voice.
Why it’s a little special
The LEGO form gives a music documentary an imaginative visual language, with room to discuss collaboration and the work behind familiar songs.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
The US PG rating cites language, some suggestive material and thematic elements. Expect occasional swearing, adult references, partying and stylized imagery connected to drug use. Although the people appear as LEGO figures, the story follows an adult music career and is not aimed only at young children.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
