Mr. Miller said that because of the blocky, trapezoidal nature of Lego bodies, it was sometimes difficult to fashion female characters. After trying out a few different ideas, the directors decided that they were trying to tell too much of Wyldstyle’s story with her costume, so they boiled it down to counterculture ninja graffiti artist, tough but cute. - New York Times

“The LEGO® Movie,” the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, opens in theaters February 7, 2014.

The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.
