The animated movie, based on the Danish plastic building blocks, continues to dominate at the worldwide box office. Warner Bros. has declared that it will be making a sequel and that it is going to be released on May 26, 2017. The movie features the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Morgan Freeman and is now the highest grossing film of 2014.
At least fans of The Lego Movie know that a sequel will be coming in a couple of years.
The nominees for the 71st annual Emmy Awards were announced this morning by presenters D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place) and Ken Jeong (Crazy Rich Asians).
Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
