Not the first Lego movie to be sure I liked "The Adventures of Clutch Powers" which I thought was well done and had some nice nods to adults (AFOLs)
The new trailer/movie I'm less interested in, thats largely because of the cast but also because they seem to be pushing more into the Robot Chicken style of humour. I'm intrigued that they've gone for a stop motion look. (or indeed is actually stop motion)
Other Lego videos have been done well for instance their Star Wars DVD.

The movie actually is (mostly) CGI, but intentionally done in such a way as to evoke stop-motion, and it might use a little actual stop-motion at some point; I'm not sure about that. From the early reports, it's apparently going to have some live-action as well, though I don't know if that's how it will end up (no sign of it in this first trailer, obviously).
I'm looking forward to this. I wouldn't expect it to be that Robot Chicken-esque, if simply because it's very much intended as a squeaky-clean, family-friendly movie, and some of the more adult humor of RC wouldn't fly.
And my initial reaction music-wise is that Mark Mothersbaugh is well-suited to the project, and I'm looking forward to hearing his work.
Well, for big LEGO fans like myself, there are a lot of in-jokes and references in there that show somebody did their homework. Note the cracked chin-strap on the classic '80s spaceman's helmet, for example. The chinstrap on that old style helmet was a bit thin, and vulnerable to doing just that. LEGO discontinued that old helmet part decades ago because of this issue, and uses its closest analogue, a more motorcycle-styled helmet, as a replacement on vintage reissues of the old classic spacemen.
Apparently there are a whole series of Logo movies in the vein of the Clutch Powers movie- Star Wars Lego movies, superhero Lego movies and such.
This appears to be something apart from those, but similar in humor and concept.
Indeed, I have several shelves of little Lego kits (with my eye on several more I wish to own). I still miss the big construction Creator kit in yellow and black I had as a kid.
This looks great and the filmmakers behind this also made the dangerously under-recognized animated TV series Clone High. I am sold by the trailer and Mothersbaugh's involvement.
Feel This Moment by Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera is the song used in the trailer.
Eh, I'd much rather take the original any day.
Do you mean a-ha's "Take On Me"? That's one of the songs I allegedly grew up with and I love it, but the snippet of "Feel This Moment" may be better-suited for its use here, in the trailer (there's no telling whether the actual movie will use either song, of course).

Wow, really? I remember Clone High. Still get a laugh whenever I think of JFK in that. "I er uh, would like, uh, the pahhty plattah!" I'm definitely putting this movie on my list then.

YEEEEESSSSS!! If that's the case Alex, please do yourself a favor and check out the writers/directors' previous animated film Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs! It's a great family flick which includes a lot of the great wit and humor you'd expect from them.
