Talk about a dream come true!

If you were anything like us, you always wished your LEGOs could come to life. And now they are — on the big screen.

Starring new parents Chris Pratt (Emmet) and Elizabeth Banks (Wyldstyle) — we bet they had fun! — the new LEGO Movie is packed full of action but underneath the blockbuster-worthy special effects is the simple message that everyone is special.

Emmet starts off an ordinary guy until he meets Wyldstyle and her master builder crew — Vitruvious, Batman, Unikitty and more — and let’s just say that’s when his life changes forever.

And let’s not forget that every good kid’s film has to feature catchy tunes. In this case, it’s the can’t-get-out-of-your-head “Everyone Is Awesome” song.

Now that Chris Pratt‘s son Jack is 17 months old, he’s catching up with his peers — and the proof is in the pudding.

“He’ll totally surprise me with the things he’ll say, maybe a week after he heard me say it,” the actor told PEOPLE Wednesday at the Cinema Society screening of The LEGO Movie in New York City.

“[He'll repeat] toys, colors, body parts like knee, elbow, hand. You get the sense that he knows a lot more than he’s saying [aloud],” Pratt, 34, explains.

“I’ll say, ‘Where’s your head?’ and he’ll point to his head. And I’ll say, ‘Put the sock on your nose,’ and he’ll put it on his nose.”

It’s a welcome change for the Parks and Recreation star and wife Anna Faris, who welcomed their little guy nine weeks prematurely in August 2012.

Welcome home!

Chris Pratt was greeted by his 14-month-old son Jack‘s adorable face Wednesday morning after flying in at midnight from London, where he has been filming his latest movie Guardians of the Galaxy for the past five months.

“I had a very special moment with him today. He recognized me when I came home,” Pratt, 34, told PEOPLE at the Parks and Recreation 100th Episode Celebration on Wednesday.

“I was worried that he wasn’t going to recognize me, but he recognized me from Skype,” admits Pratt.

The Parks and Recreation star says his son is doing the cutest things now.
