My version of the song Everything is Awesome. Feel free to say whatever you want about it; criticism is always helpful! I made it in roughly 2 weeks.
(And I know that the pitch is slightly off)
I thought the dancing was too repetitive and not that exciting, but I would have been able to overlook that a bit if your sets were something more. Two base plates aren't really that interesting to look at and you also have a few shots where your room shows. The cgi shots of batarangs looked out of place too. I'd say work on your sets then animation. Trying looking at the sets thread and other mocs on the internet. I hope I don't come across as mean, but with some practice you could be a lot better.
You had some interesting ideas there. Animation is respectable. I know its about the music and the mini-figs but the set needs to be something - anything. It obviously won't be as elaborate as the movie but it doesn't even need to match the movie. Heck - a house on a green plate with a single tree would have been more interesting.
I do like the ideas but - batman missing the robot and then superman doing his thing was good. You had a few other good moments in there as well. 
You need to adjust your Automatic White Balance. The colours are too bright and gets a little annoying on the eyes.
You do need to work on the animation, but you've got the basic idea. What you also need to work on the creativity, because The Lego Movie isn't very original. Like, really. 7 pages of it on YouTube.

Nope, doesn't come off mean at all . Thanks for the input. I should have also mentioned that unlike most of the animators on this website, I don't focus too much on things like set design (as I am really bad at that) and story. Solid animation is really the only thing I care about as well as the popularity of the video. But thanks again!

So work on better color correction? This is probably because I brightened the video in the YouTube video editor. Should I revert it back to its original form (it was a little bit darker, and the contrast was more noticeable). Thanks for the advice!
Also, please edit your posts instead of double posting. It takes up space and it gets on my nerves.
I didn't see it yet, but choosing the quality of something (in your case, the animation) should be your main focus, and not how popular your video is. Make the videos for your enjoyment, and if other people like them, consider it an added bonus!
