Scenario
A vivid journey through the life of Pharrell Williams through the lens of LEGO animation
Released the same year as Illumination’s Gru: Nemesis (2024); coincidentally, both films feature music by Pharrell Williams and are distributed by Comcast-owned studios (Universal Pictures and Focus Features, respectively).
The film also features “Happy” from Gru on a Top Secret Mission (2013)
The opening Universal Pictures, Focus Features, Tremolo Productions, and Lego Group studio logos are made of Lego bricks.
The film’s Universal logo was not displayed during the opening credits during the pre-show screenings
Starring: Graham Norton and Guest: Billy Crystal/Emily Mortimer/Hugh Bonneville/Pharrell Williams/Michael Kiwanuka (2024).
This Is What Happens Written by Pharrell Williams & Shelly Berg Performed by Pharrell Williams Courtesy of Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment
Rating: 7.5 Overall, a very good film that opens up the possibilities of what kind of stories can be told using Lego Animation; but it is essentially a biased documentary about Pharrell Williams’ life.
