Cinematic superhero universes never even dreamed of it.
Okay, we lied: to a certain extent, the Lego cinematic universe can also be called a superhero movie, since most of the films are set specifically in the DC world. But the important thing is not this, but the fact that the Lego universe has long gone beyond the usual building sets and has become a real cultural phenomenon.
In addition to games, themed sets and key chains, Lego is actively conquering screens with the help of bright and exciting cartoons. In recent years, as many as 25 cartoons with Lego characters have been created. It’s time to explore this cinematic universe – and our guide will definitely help you with this.
Lego cartoons have featured both characters unique to the designer – for example, the Bionicle action figures – and the most popular heroes from DC superhero comics. This includes the ‘Ninjago’ series, based on action figures of ninjas fighting evil. Lego cartoons have also drawn attention to the Scooby-Doo universe.
But it was the Lego Cinematic Universe that officially began with “The Lego Movie,” released in 2014. It was an incredible success, grossing $467 million at the box office and guaranteed a sequel. It seemed like we had another successful cinematic universe in store for us, but no, the sequel failed at the box office and Warner Bros. did not renew the contract for the rights to use the Lego brand. Perhaps it was because the sequel was released at the same time as “Captain Marvel” and “How to Train Your Dragon.”
Today, the franchise is effectively dead: no new films have been released in five years. But there’s always hope for a comeback, right?
