Just got back from seeing TOY STORY 2 in whcih LEGO blocks *almost* made
an appearance. In the first half of the film there is a scene with
plastic blocks very LEGO-like which have been sculpted into a house.
However, unless my eyes were mistaken, when the house was toppled, the
bottom of the bricks did NOT have the trademark LEGO-tubes...
Am I wrong or are we seeing a MEGA-BLOCKS rendering (the horror!)...
surely if they were meant to be LEGO bricks the meticulous animators
would have gotten them perfect, top and bottom.
anyone else passing judgment?

BTW: TS2 is as good as the first, so I'd heartily recommend it to one
and all.

| Every one of those toy brands no doubt paid for product placement (after all, potatohead and etchasketch sales went way up.). Paying for placement is a typical move. No doubt TLG wouldn't pay... that hubris thing again. (25 years ago, 25-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
