Source-derived summary

This is a list of characters from The Lego Movie franchise, produced by Warner Animation Group and The Lego Group, which consists of the animated films (and Lego sets from that film), 4D film and TV series: The Lego Movie (2014), The Lego Movie: 4D – A New Adventure (2016), and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) as well as its spin-offs The Lego Batman Movie (2017), The Lego Ninjago Movie (2017), and Unikitty!

Introduced in The Lego Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

Emmet Brickowski

Emmet Joseph Brickowski (voiced by Chris Pratt in The Lego Movie, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Lego Dimensions, The LEGO® Chevy Silverado, and some shorts, A.J. LoCascio in The Lego Movie: 4D – A New Adventure, The Lego Movie: Masters of Flight, and some commercials, and Orion Acaba in The Lego Movie Videogame, and J.P. Karliak in The Lego Movie 2 Videogame) is the main protagonist of The Lego Movie. He is a construction worker chosen to find the Piece of Resistance to save the Lego worlds as "The Special" and stop the evil Lord Business.

In the second film, Emmet maintains his livelihood and is unaffected by the aftermath of the Duplo invasion unlike everyone else in Bricksburg (now called "Apocalypseburg"). After Lucy and his friends were captured by General Mayhem for a ceremony, Emmet uses his Master Builder skills to transform his house into a spaceship in order to save them. Through his travels, he meets a space adventurer named Radical Emmet Xtreme "Rex" Dangervest, a so-called "Master Breaker", who helps Builder Emmet rescue his friends. Rex also teaches Emmet how to be tough like him.

Upon destroying the ceremony, it is revealed that Rex is actually Emmet from an alternate timeline who became bitter for being abandoned, and went back in time to convert Emmet into himself and cause "Armamageddon". Rex then sends Emmet under a dryer to complete his transformation, but Emmet resists, with the help of Lucy and the rest of Apocalypseburg and Systar System.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q29469271. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2017.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
