From IMDb:
A vibrant journey through the life of Pharrell Williams, told through the lens of LEGO animation.
Quote:
Pharrell: "To me, the most common threads in a different world is a feeling. And trust me, people just want to feel good."
Thoughts:
I was very surprised by this. So much so that I KNEW this was a documentary executed in LEGO but when I saw all the artist that emerged having all been around each other in Virginia Beach, it's like I thought it and then the interviews were confirming there's something in the water. I'd had no idea that these artist knew each other before getting big and man, there was something special in having a tribe of like-minded musicians to vibe with, that Pharrell pointed out toward the end of the documentary want to see you win...
Aside from my needing to google upon seeing the stars in the beginning, there was this insta-connection for me with this story and felt like well spent time on a Sunday. The music, the memories, the lessons endured along the path and the vulnerability / reckoning Pharrell had when trying to make it as well as the power with 'Happy' and what he came to realize with that song. This film was well worth the watch and had that added power of creative energy by being done in Lego, it made it just that much richer.
Studio Ghibli for mine ^_^
