"The LEGO brand has been a vehicle for creative storytelling around the world for decades, so it's no surprise that there is such growing enthusiasm for the first LEGO theatrical film," says Jill Wilfert, vice president licensing and entertainment, The LEGO Group. "We are thrilled to collaborate with our valued partners to build a varied and compelling portfolio of products through which fans of all ages can celebrate this LEGO brand milestone."
Among the products planned for The LEGO Movie program are:
LEGO building sets and minifigures:
A collection of 17 LEGO building sets featuring detailed and functional vehicles and structures inspired by the movie’s LEGO-themed backdrops such as City, Wild West and Space.
