The animated film is based on the popular plastic children's blocks -- and it's receiving rave reviews.

Second in this weekend's box office mix was "The Monuments Men," which stars George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and John Goodman.
It brought in $22.7 million in sales at U.S. and Canadian theaters. It's a World War II film based on a true story of U.S. soldiers who rescue fine art from Nazi thieves. The movie is based on the book by Robert M. Edsel.
