the lego movie is literally just a huge ball of old school lego references, enough to tickle the weiner of a lego enthusiast such as yourself. it's like one of those 3D glasses, in that if you open one eye you see only the blue things on the screen and if you open another eye you see only the red things on the screen. if you take a closer look, the entire movie is one cyst of lego island references, amongst other things.
