To children, Emmet would come across as a very heroic, positive, humorous, lively, good character who they can look up to. The line said by Emmet " I'm just a regular normal guy," when he is chosen to be "The Special" shows children that they might think that they are just ordinary people but truly there is special in everyone. The lady with the blue and pink fringe said that "I believe in you," which shows to the children that no matter what, there is always someone who will believe in them. I think that this trailer would be effective as many young children would be very exited by the thought of Emmet overriding the superheroes as he is the chosen one.
The Lego Movie (2014) was given a U rating because it has positive overriding the negative as it is about a hero saving the world from negative forces. The trailer does not show any dangerous or anti-social behaviour, there is no discrimination, drugs, nudity or sexual content. However, there is very mild bad language (butt) and only mild violence which is acceptable within a U certified movie.

ReplyDeleteYou show understanding of Emmet's appeal as the 'ordinary guy' but do not offer detailed evidence of the ways in which he does not meet heroic criteria
In response to the second question, you should be writing in more detail about the comedy and escapism, but could also note the appeal of the action adventure themes. Mention the broad audience that is targeted: both adults and children.
You understand the classification.
