It takes a lot of work to animate a LEGO movie. Each character, environment, vehicle, cloud, or anything else you see on the screen is made of individual bricks — pieced together like a digital LEGO set. The actual animation isn't traditional either. A stop-motion technique is used, where any changes in expression or other deformations are created by swapping out parts for ones with the desired geometry on a frame-by-frame basis. WIRED looks at this and other technical details that bring bricks to life on the big screen.

Even if you don't realize it, you've probably seen the font Futura many times. The sharp, geometrical typeface has become a favorite among directors Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson, as well as artist Barbra Kruger. But the German-born type had a pretty rough beginning. Designed by Paul Renner in 1927, the font was first attacked by Hitler and the Nazi regime after its creator was arrested and exiled for his anti-Nazi essay. After the war, the typeface of the future earned world-wide attention when it was used on Apollo 11 to go where no man had gone before.
