Some nights you feel like watching something serious, and other nights you just want to shut off the brain for 90 minutes.

If you’re after the latter, The LEGO Movie is a pretty decent shout, and there’s plenty in there to keep both the adults and kids entertained.

Perhaps that’s why it raked in an estimated profit of $229 million worldwide, and that always means a sequel will follow soon behind.

Now the first trailer for The LEGO Movie 2 has just dropped, and Rolling Stone reckons it might be quite fun:

Chris Pratt and Elizabeth Banks return as the perpetually positive Emmet and the brooding badass Wyldstyle, respectively; Pratt also plays a character named Rex Dangervest, who’s resumé (galaxy guardian, raptor wrangler, cowboy) sounds … oddly familiar.

Meanwhile, Will Arnett’s Batman is back, and every comic actor in Hollywood lends their voices to what seems like another highly irreverent toy story.

Yeah, pretty much every single comic actor in Hollywood. You can see the full cast if you don’t believe me.

There will also be fewer tears than the live-action remake of The Lion King – you know you’re going to cry when Mufasa doesn’t get up.

OK, LEGO time:

This one drops on February 8 over in the US, so you have plenty of time to decide if it’s your jam.
