The Lego Movie follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average Lego minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. With the film released on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D this week, we sat down with Chris Pratt (Emmet), Morgan Freeman (Vitruvius), Elizabeth Banks (Wyldstyle), Will Arnett (Batman), Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (Writer/Directors) Dan Lin (Producer) and Chris McKay (Animation Co-Director)
Will, could you talk about your inspiration for finding the voice of Batman?
Will Arnett: Well, sure. Phil, Chris and I talked early on about the idea of looking at all the Batman incarnations that have come before, all the way back to the original Batman…
Chris Pratt: Yeah, the Shakespearian Batman. [Laughs]
Will Arnett: I feel like Morgan’s really judging my answer here. [Laughs] I think that we were trying to see what would make us laugh...

Twillerama is a night of outrageous adult animation hosted by house painter Jeff Twiller and his construction worker friend Randy J. Johnson, who have secured the screening lineup after trespassing through a city dump.
(It should be said here that Twiller and Johnson are both animated characters themselves created by Morgan Miller, who has created the wrap-around segments framing the lineup selections and curated the lineup. Miller provides the voice of Twiller; Josh Kleefeld portrays Johnson and Todd Hanson of the The Onion voices himself.)
The full lineup of Twillerama is below and features Underground Film Journal faves Brian and Kevin Lonano, and Bill Plympton; plus a whole host of other great animators.
Marianne, dir. Richard O’Connor
