Evaluate the advantages and the disadvantages of the intertextual relationship between the matrix and lego movie.
Some of the advantages of basing the lego movie are lots of parents that are watching will be getting the references between the movies. Another advantage is the target audience for the lego movie is aimed at younger children, this is an easy audience to entice as they enjoy looking at action and lots of colour. A disadvantage of this is that lots of the older audience is teenagers so they might not enjoy the film as much as the film is enjoyable to parents and enjoyable to children but for the remaining viewer audience it will not be as enjoyable as the references will not be known by them.
