A sequel is already in the works and is set for release on May 5, 2017. Fans itching for more adventures with the Guardians can breathe a sigh of relief.

The movie was also responsible for the introduction of Baby Groot, the tiny, dancing spawn of Groot (Vin Diesel), who became an Internet sensation this summer.

The LEGO Movie was the top-grossing animated film, beating out both Disney and DreamWorks releases this year. Additionally, it recieved praise from critics for its mix of humor, action, science fiction, and heart. Only 15 of the top 50 were not sequels, adaptations, remakes, or spin-offs. The film opened to one of the largest debuts of the summer ($93.2 million). The "Parks and Rec" star and a soundtrack carefully selected by the film's director James Gunn helped make "Guardians" a huge success.

However, 2014 has been the year of Chris Pratt. No one knew whether fans would go out to see an adaptation of an obscure comic. The movie was by no means a total failure, but it was a box-office disappointment putting into question the future of the Spidey franchise at Sony. R eviewers weren't particularly taken with the over-bloated installment critics generally noted that the movie focused on building its franchise and not on storytelling. The opening weekend for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was worse than any of the movies in the original "Spider-Man" trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, and overall, it's the lowest-performing "Spider-Man" movie of the five. The latest installment in the revamped "Spider-Man" trilogy might have performed well with a seemingly impressive $91.6 million opening weekend but given Spidey's brand recognition ( he's the best-selling superhero toy) and a lot of hype for the sequel, it probably should have been the first $100 million opening weekend of the year. With no Pixar film this year, "The LEGO Movie" has a good chance at taking home the Oscar for best-animated film. already has three sequels in the works including a Batman spin-off.

The film's combination of smart, subversive commentary about conformity, pop culture references and Easter eggs, along with top-notch voice talent (Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, and Elizabeth Banks) all made for an appealing movie for both kids and adults. The universal praise for the movie and a catchy theme song from the talented writer-director team of Christopher Miller and Phil Lord ("Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs," "21 Jump Street") helped prove everything about a LEGO movie is awesome. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) Rotten Tomatoes 53. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) Rotten Tomatoes 91. "The LEGO Movie" debuted at number one on the box-office charts with a $69.1 million opening weekend, making for one of the biggest February openings ever. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Rotten Tomatoes 89.
