    It’s exactly this. I showed my eight year old the trailer earlier, and judging by the excited exclamations, we’ll be watching this in the cinema

      That’s interesting, because I look at it and I just go “but that’s not Minecraft, that’s some Minecraft knock off?!” It’d be like the Lego movies being rendered entirely out of Mega Blocks or something but still calling it The Lego Movie, it would just feel weird. It’s an uncanny valley adjacent feeling.

        Kids don’t care about it being super accurate to the source though, they see the Minecraft world with loads of blocks and blocky looking animals, and it’s close enough. Then the Minecraft logo appears, and they’re sold.

        In your example, they would probably just hand wave it away as the mega blocks being different Lego blocks, and possibly get excited that there might be new Lego coming
