The Lego Movie has topped the UK box office for the second consecutive weekend.

Warner Bros' 3D animated adventure took home £5.9 million to hold off competition from Mr Peabody & Sherman to retain first place.

The half-term holidays resulted in a bumper weekend for animated movies, with Tinker Bell and The Pirate Fairy moving up into third spot and Frozen re-entering the chart at number ten.

Disney's Oscar-nominated musical has now earned £38.5 million after three months on release in the UK.

Elsewhere in the chart, George Clooney's Monuments Men fell down to number four and RoboCop completes the top five.
