The Lego Movie is entering theaters riding a huge wave of positive critical reviews-- striking given the pervasive skepticism that has preceded its release. Producer Dan Lin talks with The Business contributor John Horn about how he pitched the movie idea to The Lego Group and once they were on board, he had to tune out the haters so they could focus on the film.
