I didn't realize until I got it what the 3d photograph thing is... how useless. And the slipcover fanatics aren't going to be pleased either.
The movie itself is still great, though...

This arrived Tuesday and our preschool daughter has already watched it every. Day. Since. But I love it so it's all good. Haven't seen Frozen yet but I hear that's a similar phenomenon in many homes. The Lego Movie is the first movie she saw in the theater, too, thanks to her cool dad.

I'm waiting until August to give this to my son for his Bday. FYI, Costco had the blu/dvd/uv version for $17.99 when I was there today.

Re: The Lego Movie - 5/27/14
It makes me wonder if not only has the newer generations made their children to be pussies but also the parents are pussies themselves?
There were a few films I could watch a lot of as a kid but of my parents got annoyed with some BS I did they'd stop that shit.
Parents are just BS dumpsters now?

Shitty parenting standards is what it looks like. A kid, stereotypically, is a product of a family of some sort. Growing, learning, and experiencing some standard of life in that unit. If you just let the kid take command to not make them bitch about something them all you're doing is making that kid think that they get what they want when they want it.
I was born in 1986. Great era to be born in cuz I was that massive transition in tech growing up. I had a VCR In my home. We had one nice biggish TV. I'd be allowed to watch what I wanted when no one else was using it. Once my fun would spill into something my parents wanted I'd go, " awww, man" and then happily just do whatever else I could do to have fun. Play with the dog, draw, play with my action figures, read, etc.
I didn't cry my head off cuz I knew that if I was a little bitch I'd be spanked. Which was a good way to understand that I am not the most important little shit in the house. Sure I was spanked a few times cuz that's the way it was and I totally deserved it but I learned as well. You don't need to be spanked to learn but you do have to be told a why this is the way it is or whatever.
Now little kids rule the house? Fuck that. Horrible culture to introduce.

Cars isn't bad. It just doesn't do much of anything. It's just there and it's good but doesn't really try anything new. It's a good movie.

Study Finds Every Style Of Parenting Produces Disturbed, Miserable Adults
SANTA ROSA, CA—A study released by the California Parenting Institute Tuesday shows that every style of parenting inevitably causes children to grow into profoundly unhappy adults. "Our research suggests that while overprotective parenting ultimately produces adults unprepared to contend with life's difficulties, highly permissive parenting leads to feelings of bitterness and isolation throughout adulthood," lead researcher Daniel Porter said. "And, interestingly, we found that anything between those two extremes is equally damaging, always resulting in an adult who suffers from some debilitating combination of unpreparedness and isolation. Despite great variance in parenting styles across populations, the end product is always the same: a profoundly flawed and joyless human being." The study did find, however, that adults often achieve temporary happiness when they have children of their own to perpetuate the cycle of human misery.

To throw in a bit of actual child behavioral knowledge, children can find comfort in repetition. If the rest of their day is hectic (daycare, pre-school, babysitter, sports, etc), turning on a movie and knowing that Lightning will learn a lesson in friendship and good sportsmanship or Elsa will learn that love is a true power, that gives them an anchor in their lives.

Not so sure about that if the banner in the picture is accurate. I don't recall any previous version of the movie coming with 2 Blu-Ray discs AND the DVD disc. My previous Target exclusive has a different cover, but the exclusive was a booklet and some stickers, and just 1 Blu-Ray disc and 1 DVD disc.
