*** Or because, in order to use his Green Lantern powers, he needs to wear his [[GreenLanternRing Green Lantern ]]''[[GreenLanternRing ring]]''. How exactly are you going to fit a ring on a LEGO minifigure?

* At first, having a cast with a lot of stars looks like the standard fare for a big-budget movie, but it makes even more sense when it's revealed that this is all a story being told by a child; the actors in question are all well-known for playing the archetypes seen in the movie (i.e. Creator/LiamNeeson as the {{Badbutt}} cop, Creator/ChrisPratt as the awkward ReluctantHero, and Creator/MorganFreeman as a wise mentor figure (he did manage to pull off [[Film/BruceAlmighty God]] pretty well...), so it's not at all surprising that Finn might have seen bits and pieces of these movies and had those voices associated with those characters.

* Superman hitting on the Statue of Liberty is just a TakeThat at his reputation as TheCape, "truth justice and the American way" and all that.

* Why does President Businesses office have an infinite number of floors? Finn must have asked an adult for the biggest number that exists, and wasn't told that it means going on forever.

* Emmet is said to have the most common of all faces, yet it's actually a unique model of course, an eight-years-old wouldn't consciously notice the differences, and hence believe it actually is the standard model, but subconsciously he'd have picked a unique one as the main character of his story, and that's where the inconsistency comes from.

* Both songs that are original to the film ("Everything Is Awesome" and especially Batman's "Untitled Self Portrait") have StylisticSuck elements to them. This fits in with TheReveal because in-universe, both songs were written by an eight year old, presumably based on his impressions of contemporary pop music and industrial metal (or just loud, "angsty" music in general). It's not surprising that Finn has experience with current top 40, because by definition a lot of those songs are played everywhere. As for "Untitled Self Portrait", he may have some teenage relative who listens to industrial metal or what have you; He either actually heard a little of this music through them, or just based the song on what he ''thought'' it might sound like. You could apply this to ''Where Are My Pants?'', being based on Finn's vague idea of what prime-time sitcoms are like.

* Note Lord Business' colour scheme. [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver Red and black]]. A colour combination very well known to be symbolic of evil. Maybe [Finn and the narrative he played out which was based on his father whom he saw as the 'bad guy' meant he found a good decision to use those colours.

** The constant announcements of the 'bad guys'? [Finn is telling the story based on his father whom he perceives to be the 'bad guy' in resenting him, so maybe this becomes metaphysical when you see who this is directed at ("you don't have to be the bad guy" - Emmet to Lord Business a.k.a. his father) and who says it ("Ruh roh, it's the bad guys" - Bad Cop). Also notable is that an 8 year old telling the story means the use of opposing forces between the 'good guys' and the 'bad guys'.

* Bad Cop said to Emmet that the robots found Emmet convulsing at the construction site after touching the Piece of Resistance. Now would seem like a classical case of being possessed by a supernatural being, but the supernatural being in this case is Finn and Emmet was being directly manipulated by the hand of the child.

** Another hint is when Lord Business complains about Bad Cop's parents constantly fidgeting when he's trying to Kragle them, which sounds an awful lot like a anal-retentive man complaining his parents won't sit still for a picture.

** Double Fridge Horror: During his first rant against Finn, Finn father's bluntly cuts him out claiming that, if he wanted to play, he could have used every discarded item in the basement, including the Cloud Cuckoo Land figures... including his old and battered mini-figures. Even if once his own older, broken pieces were his treasures, now to him are useless hand-me-downs to keep his son occupied.

* At the beginning we listen to "Everything Is Awesome". Everything is perfectly ordered, everybody is brainwashed, and you get to see the Evil President Buisness. Emmet says "I could sing this song for hours!" ''Five hours later'' and they're still singing and building according to the boring old instructions. Why? Because Finn's Dad has been building and playing for five hours. Only when he goes off to work, does Finn sneak down and start playing. Only then do things start going crazy.

* Batman's preference of black and sometimes very dark gray is a very clever reference to the Batman comics: they follow a theme of BlackAndGrayMorality. After all, they take place in a CrapsackWorld (Gotham City) and the protagonist, Batman, is an {{Antihero}} of sorts whose methods of dealing with criminals are brutally beating them to a bloody pulp.

* I for one really wanted characters from VideoGame/LegoCityUndercover to show up, and as they have voice actors already so it could've been easy. Then when I watched it, the cops are evil, then I understood that Chase was probably was one of the first taken Master Builders as he was in the police force... And with the ones related to him... Maybe even taking them into the melting machine...

** Which also explains why he gets [[TheLegoBatmanMovie his own big storyline in Finn’s imagination.]]
