The four films in the Warner-produced collection released between 2014 and 2019 do not use LEGO merely as a recognizable surface. They turn the connection, limit and scale of the pieces into a visual grammar: each world decides what can move, what can break and what kind of camera seems capable of looking at it.
The Wild Robot, Elio and Mufasa: The Lion King do not make a world inhabitable in the same way. This itinerary asks what bodies, edges, surfaces and tasks do to make a space seem to exist before a character arrives and to continue once they leave.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie and A Minecraft Movie begin with worlds players learn by traversing, testing and altering them. In bringing them to the screen, they cannot retain that agency: they must replace it with framing, duration, sound and a fixed narrative route. The comparison makes it possible to distinguish between reproducing references and translating a game logic into audiovisual form.
