The font in the title sequence of The Lego Movie is called 'Impact Label'. Although it is simple, it is also very creative almost like the toy legos. This will attract the younger audience attention . In the background there are images of buildings and the lego characters but the font stands out as it is very bold. The background goes very well with the song them which is also in the background. The title sequence will appeal to its audience as it is has very bright colours and eye catching images.
