I feel as though the Lego movie fit very well with the mono myth. The main character, Emmit is the hero and he started out as a construction worker. This mono myth fits Emmit's story because there is an evident threshold between the real and the special world. He falls down a hole in his construction site to show this.
Later, when Emmit becomes the special, he sacrificed himself to stop Mr. Business. At this point Emmit's actions make him a hero. It fits the mono myth because of the fight with the bad cop forces being the road of trials and the sacrifice is his atonement, becoming god like. He is even able to see the human who created his world. This gave him the strength to melt Mr. Business's icy heart.
