Piece By Piece is voiced by Williams and fellow pop stars Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z.

TORONTO - The flesh-and-blood Pharrell Williams walked the red carpet on Sept 10 with the star of his new animated biopic – a Pharrell Williams made of Lego blocks – as Piece By Piece made its international premiere in Toronto.

Williams, a renowned American recording artiste, producer and songwriter, said Lego characters, a favourite of children around the world, gave the picture a global appeal and enabled the film to sidestep cliches in telling his story. “I didn’t want to tell a story that’s like poverty porn. That’s a usual Hollywood trope and that’s not what this is.”

“Pharrell is famous for seeing the world a little differently and approaching music differently,” Neville said on the red carpet.
