Lego Hero Factory Savage Planet

Sure, it’s geared towards kids, but animated film fans of any age will enjoy watching this clever story about a factory that actually builds and equips heroes for specific assignments. In Savage Planet, a group is put together to stop a rogue Hero called Witch Doctor whose plans to steal the energy source he needs to be more powerful is destroying the planet he’s mining it from. The story is filled with messages for kids, everything from the importance of friendship to environmental issues, but it never lectures its audience. The creators are far too busy making sure the action figures on the screen look and act cool. And they do. Having people like Malcolm McDowell, Henry Winkler and Mark Hamill give their voices to the characters only makes it cooler (especially to adults).
