The Lego Movie: Narrative

Todorov's Narrative Theory:
Equilibrium:
Emmet is a normal guy, following the instructions, buying expensive coffee, listening to the same music, working with the people who he thinks he's friends with and 'Everything is Awesome!' Although, he doesn't really have any friends...

The 'Master Builders' had their own secret hiding place... Cloud Cuckoo Land, where they can build whatever they desire.

Disruption:
President Business is planning to Freeze the whole city with the Kragle, because he wants everything in its place.

Emmet comes across Wyldestyle (Lucy) at the construction site, he follows her, and falls down into a pit. He finds 'The Piece of resistance' and touches it. It gets stuck to his back and Wyldestyle thinks that he is 'The Special'... He is not...

Bad cop and President Business find Cloud Cuckoo land, because they put a tracking device on Emmet, and they destroy the whole place, and Capture all of the master builders, apart from emmet and a small group of others, including Wyldestyle and Batman.

Resolutions:
Emmet helps the 'Master Builders' save the world, from the Kragle (Super Glue) because President Business wanted to freeze everything.

New Equilibrium:
Emmet tells President business that he doesn't have to be 'The Bad guy' President Business realises that he was wrong, then everyone is free to build whatever they want! Emmet finally has some friends!
