The LEGO Movie is one of the many franchises featured in LEGO Dimensions. It is based on the 2014 animated film directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
Emmet Brickowski, an ordinary LEGO figurine who always follows the rules, is mistakenly identified as the Special -- an extraordinary being and the key to saving the world. He finds himself drafted into a fellowship of strangers who are on a mission to stop Lord Business' plans to conquer the world. Unfortunately for Emmet, he is hopelessly -- and hilariously -- unprepared for such a task, but he'll give it his all nonetheless.
The Dimensions Crisis takes place after the events in the movie as shown by the lack of the Piece of Resistance on Emmet's back in the shots of the level.
Even though it is thought to take place after the events of The LEGO Movie, Lord Business works with Lord Vortech, even though he became good at the end of the movie, however it could be possible that Lord Vortech got the past Lord Business or inspired him to turn evil again. This is the most likely, because all of the characters have lines referencing events that happened in the movie.
Cloud Cuckoo Land still exists as well, although, it might've been rebuilt.
Much of the music that can be heard in this franchise's Adventure World is recycled from The LEGO Movie Videogame. The most notable examples are the music that plays in the Construction Site being the music that originally played in the main menu and the Bricksburg hub area, while the main theme of the world was originally heard in the Cloud Cuckoo Land hub area. The Adventure World version of Cloud Cuckoo Land now plays a looped version of the film's main song, Everything is Awesome, which is also the case for the area's hidden appearance in Prime Time. The Old West's music is also borrowed from the original game's hub area of the same name.
However, the real version of Everything is Awesome is not in the game, although it is the background music for the Lego Movie character spotlights.
Likely due to the events of the film, Vitruvius is the only main character that doesn't have a role in LEGO Dimensions.
Though, he was mentioned by Emmet and Wyldstyle and has a folder in the games files.
His staff appears on the gateway to and from the Adventure World.
Unikitty is the only character in this theme who did not appear in Wave 1.
Lord Business is the only main character in this franchise who is not voiced by his original actor, which was Will Ferrell. He is instead voiced by Nolan North, who also voices the Space Core and General Zod.
Bad Cop is also voiced by archive audio due to Liam Neeson being unavailable to reprise the role during the development of the game.
