LEGO Batman was really, really good, but you're right, it probably didn't hit the emotional beats as well the original The LEGO Movie. It made up for that by somehow being way funnier; it's not many movies that have me cracking up before the studio bumpers. Seriously, the movie's version of Catwoman is probably my second favorite version ever, and a. I love Catwoman, and b. she's in the movie like a minute total.
The thing about Sing at the Oscars was that ... it somehow garnered worse reviews than A Secret Life of Pets (sorry, that's was a pan when it came out from me, and hasn't changed), and I don't know how, even setting aside my opinion. Sing was the favorite of Oscar pundits; Kung Fu Panda 3's Annie award nomination probably counted more than Sing's Golden Globe nomination, but more pundits were on team Sing on Gold Derby; one pundit even had it in his win spot for the category up until nomination morning. Nobody was counting on The Secret Life of Pets, though.
