Caveat: Lego Movies

Lego_html_m6fbd1aadMy friend Bob sent me a link to a Lego movie on the Lego website. He has son who is fascinated by these things, which is why he sent me the link. I watched Lego movies – I'd embed one here, but they don't let you embed their movies (which is poor marketing, in my opinion). But here's the link.

I like the episode where the prisoners escape by jumping into the prison toilet with scuba gear on. The prison administrators try to get the prisoners back using a toilet plunger. See screenshots.

I think these videos would be extremely usuful in an elementary language classroom, because there's something salient about them – they're produced without any dialogue whatsoever. Thus they could be used as prompts for story-writing, similarly to wordless comic-strips.
