The Lego Movie (franchise)

The Lego Movie is a Danish-American media franchise based on Lego construction toys. It began with the 2014 film of the same name, which was directed and written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The success of the film led it to receiving two licensed video games, a theme park film ride attraction, two spin-off films which were released in 2017, an animated series that also came out in the same year as well as a sequel in 2019 among other pieces of media. Plans for a third spin-off film were later shelved. The films in the franchise have received generally positive critical reception, with the exception of Ninjago which received mixed reviews, and has grossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office.
