The Lego Movie is a Lego product line based on the 2014 film of the same name. It was licensed from The Lego Group, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Warner Animation Group.

Further sets were produced to coincide with the release of the second film in The Lego Movie franchise, titled The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. The product line was discontinued by 31 December 2019.

Overview

[edit]

On 7 February 2014, The Lego Movie was released by Warner Bros. Pictures. The storyline follows the adventures of Emmett Brickowski, an ordinary construction worker, voiced by Chris Pratt, who along with several other Lego characters, must save the world from an evil overlord. To promote the film, The Lego Group released a collection of Lego construction sets and a set of collectible Lego minifigures, which were based on the characters and locations in the film. A range of other merchandise and media was produced as part of the marketing programme, including The Lego Movie Video Game and a number of books published by Penguin and Scholastic.[3]

In 2019, a sequel was released, titled The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. It was released in North America and the United Kingdom on 8 February 2019.[4] To promote the sequel, The Lego Group designed a collection of Lego sets based on the additional characters and locations introduced in the film.[5] An accompanying video game was developed, titled The Lego Movie 2 Videogame, which was released on 26 March 2019.[6]

Development

[edit]

Following the success of The Lego Movie, The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie, The Lego Group aimed to make a fourth success with The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. The development of the theme was the result of a collaboration between the film makers and Lego designers. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part was developed to reach a wider audience than The Lego Movie film, which meant that it diverged from the film storyline. The development of both the film and its associated product line was predominantly influenced by the writers and directors of the film, however the Lego design team ensured that the characters remained true to the film.[7] Matthew Ashton, The Lego Group's Vice President of Design commented, "I also coordinate toy development from our side. When we're reviewing the scripts and the storyboards and animatics ... we're like, 'Actually this would make a really good toy,' and then we co-develop that with the animation and art teams at the studio to make sure we create something that does everything that it needs to do, be as action packed as it needs to be in the movie and then also makes a really good playable, buildable toy at the same time."[8]
