Chris Pratt has put a lot of expectation on The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, declaring it "unlike other sequels".
The anticipated follow-up to 2014's smash hit The Lego Movie has certainly had a lot of anticipation, and star Pratt opens-up about it on tonight's (February 1) Graham Norton Show.
"The first movie did incredibly well and people really loved it, so it was tough thinking how you do a sequel as the expectations were really high," he says.
"I think we have exceeded those expectations and unlike a lot of sequels, it's just really good. It's a relief!"
Well, reviews of the movie have painted a largely solid picture, though many critics have argued that it was inferior to the first film.
Still, we imagine Pratt isn't too bothered about that, and as a little treat for fans, he gives a rendition of 'Everything is Awesome' in the style of his Parks and Recreation band MouseRat.

In other Pratt news, the actor revealed that his "heart sank" as he watched an old video of new fiancée Katherine Schwarzenegger saying she fancied Marvel co-star Chris Evans.
However, she also expressed interest in Pratt, the actor saying: "When she said 'Chris Evans' my heart sank... and then she rescued it."
He added: "That’s so sweet. I literally have never seen that [clip] before, so thank you for showing me that. I’m really moved."
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is out in UK cinemas on February 8. The Graham Norton Show airs tonight (February 1) at 10.35pm on BBC One.
