Skip to main content area The LEGO Movie 2: early details revealed It's still a puzzle as to why Chris Miller and Phil Lord's excellent The LEGO Movie was overlooked in the Best Animated Feature category at this year's Academy Awards. Although as we argued in this piece, it's won a greater prize than an Oscar already. Lots of people clearly continue to enjoy the film enormously. A screening of the film took place at the Santa Barbara Film Festival earlier this week, and the co-writers and directors took to the stage for a Q&A. And when asked by one of the many children in the audience as to what's going to happen in The LEGO Movie 2, they did reveal a couple of details. The pair confirmed that the sequel will be set a few years after the ending of the original The LEGO Movie (as had been revealed last month), and that the focus is going to be on Emmett and his sister. Furthermore, it's going to take place in a "weird, dystopian version of Bricksburg". Currently, The LEGO Movie 2 is scheduled for 2018.
Before that, of course, we're getting the LEGO Batman movie. Bet they won't give that a bloody Oscar, either. Follow our Twitter feed for faster news and bad jokes right here.

The company's name comes from the Danish phrase "leg godt", which translates into English as "play well". While not an influence on the name, has been embraced by the LEGO Group. The product is , and . Experts on children have called them the ideal toy — they're easy to use, are infinitely expandable and foster creativity. And by infinitely expandable, they mean infinitely expandable — even the earliest bricks made in the 1960s, when they first started their construction toy business, are 100% compatible with bricks manufactured today.Over the decades, in addition to selling basic boxes of bricks, LEGO has produced a vast array of "themes", collections of related playsets devoted to a general setting and concept (and occasionally, an overarching story), exploring a diverse range of time periods, places, jobs, characters, genres and even styles of building.
See for an index of trope pages for these themes.Since 1997, LEGO has given the licence to make based on various themes to innumerable game developers, and as such there is a very sizable array of LEGO-based games. These include:The LEGO Group has also released a feature-length DVD movie, LEGO: The Adventures of Clutch Powers.The LEGO Group started a ninja-themed Ninjago set in 2011. A four episode pilot was created and greenlit two 13-episode TV seasons based on the set. In 2013, after the conclusion of the Ninjago series, an -themed Legends of Chima set and corresponding cartoon were introduced, followed by another season of Ninjago premiering in 2014. Mixels, a set and corresponding short series, began the same year. and (the 21 Jump Street movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Clone High) , called The LEGO Movie, released in 2014. And, as the first trailer reveals, the movie itself takes from both classic LEGO characters as well as its newer licensed success; is a main character (with cameos from , , the , and others) along side one of the generic Builder dudes.
Hero Factory, the to .Prior to 1999, the LEGO Group avoided adapting licensed properties, reasoning (logically), that LEGO was its own very successful property. In 1999, that changed, with the LEGO Star Wars line, which was insanely successful. The LEGO Group now has a myriad of licenses. (It's almost easier to list the ones they don't include: those owned by other toy companies (e.g., Transformers, Halo), those not age-appropriate (e.g., James Bond), and Star Trek, which is thoroughly locked up by .)Here (to be representative) are some of their big licenses, and some of their small(er) ones:In addition to those, there are many, many others.

12.21.2015 :: 8:28AM EST mplacko It seems like toy companies really don’t understand the term “spoiler alert.” Another day, another story of a fan (this time, in Germany) finding packaging giving away a big teaser for the next big blockbuster. Not that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe haven’t seen this one coming, but those of you who like to be in the dark about what trench coat Nick Fury is wearing this time around better watch where you shop. Four and a half months before it is set to come out in theaters (in the US and Germany), a German LEGO catalogue may have spilled a giant size reveal for a little character in Captain America: Civil War. If you haven’t figured it out by now it’s Ant-Man. Or more precisely, Giant Man. Still Scott Lang (as far as we can tell from the brick-like figure) but twice the size! Or quadruple the size, if you compare it to the tiny Ant-Man figure that comes in the set. It’s really cute, but definitely one to keep out of the hands of super small children and your dog.
But back to Giant Man! It’s been rumored, and most of those familiar with the comics suspected/expected/hoped, the antithesis to the ant-sized super hero would make his one camera debut at some point. Civil War would be a good place to give the growth serum a try, especially given whatever and whomever Ant-Man will be up against in Avengers 2.5. The set also includes Scarlet Witch, Winter Soldier, Captain America, Iron Man, and Agent 13 (who is Sharon Carter in the comics). You’ll also be able to get Black Panther, Black Widow, Cross Bones, Falcon, and more Steve and Bucky goodness in expansion sets! I also see War Machine taking on the big guy. No, not the green one. The new big one. It’s worth noting that a rad Avengers set comes out in January that includes Thanos, Space Captain America, Space Iron Man Captain Marvel, and Hyperion. I also just love any time a set can justify a random collectible costumed figure. Because Iron Man needs a special white coated space suit.
