Catch Me If You Can

Childrens' imaginations have always been the secret sauce in Lego's enduring success - generations have projected their own games onto the versatile blocks, constructing and destroying entire worlds with the glee that only childhood fantasy can produce. This latest commercial celebrates that in charming fashion, bringing such games to life in a slick, polished manner.

The live-action element is skilfully handled by director Torben Kjelstrup, slipping enough clumsy dialogue and idiosyncratically-phrased speech into the action-packed car chase that audiences have a hint about the scene's origin from the jump. We won't spoil it further, but anyone who's witnessed a child immersed in play will appreciate this film with equal parts affection and amusement.
