It's a shame that TLM 2 wasn't a success, because its message is one this world needs: being "grown-up" does NOT mean being unremittingly grimdark. Just the opposite--any edgelord teenager can do THAT. But to acknowledge the darker side of life without allowing oneself to drown in it or blind oneself to the good stuff that does exist--that's real maturity.

As a LEGO fan, it devastates me that we won't be getting any future LEGO movies from Warner Bros.

It definitely has the feel of a kid taking their sets and minifigs into the back garden and playing with them there, as well as giving a more distinct visual look.

What caused the Lego Movie franchise to crash and burn was simply a case of being far too ambitious, as well as bad timing. The films were all made too quickly between each other, were quite expensive to produce even in comparison to what Disney and Dreamworks made, and by the time the last movie came out, most people had already moved on to other franchises.

Granted, Spider-Man has a much bigger fan following than Lego but as we have seen with The Amazing Spider-Man 2, just because Spider-Man is popular as a worldwide icon, that doesn't stop him from having a box office disappointment under his belt so we just hope that Spider-Verse 2 won't be in the same league as that film.

Here are my thoughts: As a kid, I loved the first Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie that came out a few years later. But it was the Lego Ninjago movie that made me see how the franchise wasn't all that awesome (no pun intended). When the Lego movie sequel was announced, I to was excited to watch it. While it may not have been better than the first, it was still entertaining regardless of how people treated it at the box office. I only wish I could've seen it a second and/or third time in theaters. Overall, these movies made my love for Legos grow from being just a kids toy brand to a whole new level of entertainment. Whatever people say about the Lego Movie franchise and its sequel, they're still, excluding Ninjago, some of the most fun films I've watched in cinema history.

I think a big part of it's decline in interest has a lot to do with the stellar ending and reveal in the first movie. That elevated the film for so many viewers, and especially adults and the parents taking their kids to see it. But that kind of reveal really only can happen once.

It's very fitting (in an unfortunate way) that the Lego Movie franchise ended like this because just as quick it became a success, it came crumbling down just as quick as you push a Lego sculpture where all the pieces just fall apart only this time, nobody at Warner and the audience wants to pick up the pieces and rebuild it again so it's up to Universal to pick up those pieces, rebuild the franchise and hopefully bring new life to this franchise and frankly, I trust Universal more than Warner Bros. because with the exception of Illumination, they seem to have more passion for their animated properties than Warner Bros. as they just don't seem to give a no. 2 about their animated stuff. From Young Justice: Outsiders to Scoob!, they are like "meh, if it sells, it sells."

Where did everything went wrong? THE NINJAGO MOVIE. As far as everyone knew it was a movie made specifically for the Ninjago fans, who tend to be oblivious to that fact that is still a obscure series and nowhere as pop culture famous as other series and definitely not a safe risk to make a movie for in keeping the hype. I saw the movie and thought it was okay, but definitely saw it as a film that should had gone straight to dvd and not theaters, especially as the structure of these films (Fast spaced action and joke delivery, the real human interactions, the hero who needs to learn a lesson, the lego constructs that is hard to tell what is going on-similar to the Bayformers when they change) was getting repetitive in every movie. Not helping was the whole "Cinematic Universe" they immediately went for rather than finish the main trilogy (but Batman was a good call) so hence mix those 2 and you instantly got a Lego movie burnout from audiences. They should had geared to main audiences than trying to please a small loud minority who didn't even went to see their movie, cause those Ninjago fans are still not teenagers with a disposable income!

❤💖 It is such a shame that the Lego Movie franchise ended and lost its charm because it has so much potential to be another great animated franchise like Toy Story and How to Train Your Dragon. 💖❤

I actually rewatched The Lego Movie earlier this month, so this video couldn't have come at a better time. Still holds up.

One of the reason I am theorizing why the Lego Ninjago film failed was due to the already established TV series of the Ninjago already on TV and the fanbase for the TV series.

Lego Ninjago Movie would probably have alienated some fans of the Masters of Spinjitzu show as a different continuity. The show had done at least six seasons by the time the movie came out, which was a lot of time to give exploration and depth to the ensemble cast. The movie focusing on one person, Lloyd, and not exploring the other five ninja in any depth would reasonably be a turn-off for fans of Cole, Jay, Kai, Zane and Nia, who get lumped with the discovering true potential and unlocking their element arc (which the show had done early on). The fact Lloyd’s character arc was an estranged father/child relationship, a storyline that’s not underrepresented in kids films, can’t have helped. The fact the movie designs were carried over into the main show and toy line were also a point of contention for some fans, and while the show did explain it having just done a time travel arc the previous season, fans aren’t always pleased with change. Even the Legacy sets that represent early pre-movie seasons keep the movie designs (a cost measure no doubt with the minifig molds).

Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you're part of a team! Everything is awesome when you're living out a dream! Loved the first movie but understandable why they parted ways with Warner. Still have the collectible Minifigure series from the first movie.

I find it dubitable that Lego even cared about the movies' success or failure. They sell toys, whether the movies are doing well was never their problem. Their terrible direct-to-dvd and direct-to-streaming productions are proof positive of that (yeah, you kinda skipped a lot of non-theatrical releases). However, both Unikitty and Lego Movie 2 completely failed in toy stores. The Ninjago Movie was notable in that its sets also failed despite being part of Ninjago which was going strong outside of the movie sets. Lego likely saw the franchise starting to have a negative impact on toy sales and that was what broke the deal for them. Add to that how the deal resulted in Lego having to basically license its own name from Warner, and you get an impressive fail. Note how Unikitty was a success on tv but pure poison on the toy shelves.

To be fair, Playmobil didn't premier in all countries. Still haven't seen it. And, man, I forgot all about Storks, and I'd watched it.

Awesome editorial! (Slight goof I noticed in your clips and music. You credited "Ice Age: Continental Drift" when the clip was from "Ice Age: Collision Course")

Benny was probably the least used Character in the main cast so I would’ve loved that!

Happy you made this video. Watched the first Lego Movie and Lego Movie 2 for the first time this year. And not long after I found out Warner Bros. wouldn't be involved anymore.

SO YOUR TELLING ME WE MISSED OUT ON A LEGO VERSION OF STEEL BALL RUN

Lego fans when they react to the lego universal deal: Hopefully Warner bros will get the lego back Warner bros discovery Lego: uh on second thought let's just expand our deal with universal and make it permanently

Fascinating editorial

Dang it! I was really getting in the LEGO franchises since I bought the first movie, LEGO Batman Movie, and LEGO movie Video Game. Well, I rather watch the LEGO series instead the Emoji movie. I hope Universal will do more LEGO movies.

22:55 I swear if they stick any FunkoPop NARUTO chatacters into a FunkoPop film. Preferably the FunkoPop of Kurama)...I'm buying it.

Someone has yet to document the mess that is WB's theatrical animation division, from the box office bombs from the 90's (Iron Giant, Swan Princess, Mask of the Phantasm, Cats don't Dance, etc.) to their modern diet-Sony movies like Storks and Smallfoot.

I notice that most of the 90's bombs were WB not promoting their films enough, not generating enough word of mouth.

WB is a real bitch🛡️=😈

Wow, it's great to find out how the adventures of our brick builders went in the opposite direction of success after basing the films on Lego's specific titles. And I think that if Lego Ninjago and Lego Movie 2 were more dynamic and story focused but still having that Lego humor they would've been appreciated and possibly kept the franchise going. Stay safe and keep doing what you do!

Well. Trends come and go. Looks like we won't be getting our Lego Batman sequel and Billion Brick Race any time soon. Or is it?

So sad that this happened to this franchise. Oh well, what can ya do?

Just watch the two PSA videos, they’re the last remaining things about The LEGO Movie,

I forgot both Lego films used live-action and animation. Kind of like what happened in Cool World, Space Jam, Roger Rabbit, Looney Tunes Back in Action, Rocky & Bullwinkle (Live action/Animated hybrid), Re-animated (the Cartoon Network TV film, not the other film with the same name) and Out of Jimmy's Head ( a TV show that was based on the TV movie, Re-Animated)!

Other animated features Warner Bros released in cinemas during the 2000s include "The Polar Express", Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride", and "The Ant Bully".

ElectricDragon505, have you ever thought to make some video games reviews? Even after you did for the Epic Mickey games? Like for Pokemon, Super Smash Bros, Banjo Kazooie, Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions

He should call it AniMat's Gaming Reviews.

Which one is better? The entire Lego movie franchise? Or the entire Lego ninjago series? ( you can choose both if you want)

Definitely the Ninjago TV series. Mostly because my opinions on the LEGO movie franchise in order of release are LEGO movie: passable. LEGO Batman: amazing. Probably my favorite out of the franchise LEGO Ninjago: I don't hate this movie, but in order to properly explain my thoughts on it, I'd have to make an entirely different comment. LEGO movie 2: Mediocre at best.

Both!

the problem I had was the ninjago one being a reboot of a very established series, batman was established but there were already batman reboots and it didn't have a major lego series. also it used non lego parts alot

"You ruined my life!" "How could I ruin your life? I wasn't even there"

While I don't HATE The Lego Movie 2, It just doesn't compare to the first movie, Which I still hold it in high regard as one of my favorite movies of all time.

It truly decaued when the unikitty show writer pissed on the moon

The first movie is a masterpiece. the batman movie is good. The ninjago movie had a fine concept but not the best execution The second movie was pretty freaking good, but not as good as the origional

6:47 huh yes? What kind of question is that ofcourse it does!

@@ShockwaveFPSStudios and it didn't get a lot of positive reviews like Lego 1 and that makes me sad.

Fun fact: “The Lego Movie” came out the same year as “Mortadelo and Filemon: Mission Implausible” by Warner Bros and Ilion Animation Studios (the animation studio behind “Planet 51”, “Wonder Park,” and the upcoming “Dragonkeeper” film”).

Out of the three(possibly soon to be four) cinematic universes Warner Bros had going for them, Lego was the best of the bunch. Shame that The Second Part had to flop because it was really that freakin' good.

13:10 It JUtsu not JItsu!

Everything's not awesome after The Lego Movie 2 The Second Part Flopped.

The LEGO Movie is one of my favorite LEGO Movies plus LEGO The Adventures Of Clutch Powers,LEGO DC Superheroes The Flash,LEGO Jurassic World The Indominus Escape,LEGO Jurassic World The Secret Exhibit,The LEGO Batman Movie,LEGO Jurassic World Double Trouble and LEGO Jurassic World Escape from the Indoraptor

600th! 7 minutes in, I just realized that since The LEGO Movie went 60-40 on budget vs. advertising, The LEGO Movie 2 also should have spent near that much to market it, instead of just expecting it to be a success after the original film. I watched it, but I have no idea why not enough other people did. December 29, 2020, 12:45am
