Lego Movie & Monomyth

In my opinion, the Lego Movie fits the monomyth very well. Although the film does not have many parts that fit the "return" portion of the monomyth, the other sections fit pretty well. The movie has a clear "normal" world, and a clear "special" world. The film starts off in quite literally a simple world, where everyone does the same, monotonous tasks each day. The main character Emmet has lived his whole life in this boring place; waking up and doing the same things he does every day. After he meets Wyldstyle, he travels into a different universe (The Wild West). Emmet's adventures then take him from world to world, where he accomplishes a variety of tasks that fit with the monomyth. When the cops are chasing Emmet and Wyldstyle out of different worlds, this is a Road of Trials because Emmet is tested as a "master builder". The Temptation part of the monomyth is very true throughout the entire movie, because Emmet is always second-guessing himself and telling himself that he's not a real builder. In fact, Emmet's own personal journey is him overcoming this negative mentality. The Lego Movie fits the monomyth very well, and there are only a few parts of the myth that are not present in the film.
