Genius of Pharrell Williams Lego movie

Cheerful: 'Piece by Piece' is a family-friendly tale of talent and persistence, in which the ruder lyrics of Pharrell Williams' most famous song, the children's party favourite 'Happy', are skipped or bleeped out.

Is it a serious work of art? A new film reimagines the life of a pop star in animated toy bricks. Critics are thrilled, though some wonder if the movie is art or self-promotion.
