51-year-old musician Pharrell Williams produced the most recent Lego movie, 'Piece by Piece.' The film explores the singer's coming-of-age and rise to fame and features a soundtrack of Williams' hits.

‘Piece by Piece’ is an unexpected addition to the Lego movie franchise

By Logan Thompson, Staff Writer October 18, 2024
