The animated film comes from writers/directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street) and features a fantastic ensemble voice cast that includes Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, and Morgan Freeman. Today, Warner Bros. has unveiled the first logo for the film along with the announcement of a neat-sounding contest that gives fans the opportunity to have some of their own work appear in the film. Hit the jump for more and to get a good look at the logo. based on the story of The Lego Movie.

The Lego Movie logo in this MOC by Lucifer Adams is fantastic and the best real-life representation of the logo I’ve seen. I recreated it in Lego Digital Designer while I consider ordering the parts for it (just over 600). Right now the individual LEGO letters aren’t joined together — I’m planning on using a couple of baseplates across the bottom but I’ve left these out of the LDD file.Size of this preview: 640 × 412 pixels.

But don’t worry, you can finally rejoice as we have yet another major LEGO-related news story to give you, this time focusing on one of the two LEGO movies set to come out in 2017 (no, not The LEGO Batman Movie). Thanks to a massive scoop from fan site Brickset (later picked up by The AV Club and /Film), we finally have solid details on the plot and voice cast of The LEGO Ninjago Movie, as well as our first look at the official logo, which you can see down below:
All of the details come courtesy of a catalog from Los Vegas’ 2016 Licensing Expo, where the movie was promoted as part of Warner Bros. Consumer Products’ marketing programs for their tentpole movies (The LEGO Batman Movie and S.C.O.O.B were also shown there, so expect some potential news updates to come for those movies as well). The film, directed by Charlie Bean (in his feature film debut) from a screenplay by Dan and Kevin Hageman (writers and executive producers on the Masters of Spinjitsu series) and Brian Shukoff and Kevin Chesley (MTV’s The Hard Times of Rj Berger), will provide its own take on the Ninjago property as set in the continuity of the universe established in 2014’s The LEGO Movie. With that said, here’s the plot synopsis of the film: Ninjago is the story of six young ninja tasked with defending their island home, called Ninjago. By night, they’re gifted warriors, using their skill and awesome fleet of vehicles to fight villains and monsters.
By day, they’re ordinary teens, struggling against their greatest enemy: high school. As always, the voice cast for the film employs a number of A-list talents, in particular a mix of established and up-and-coming actors. Martial Arts movie legend Jackie Chan, best known to animation geeks for his role as Master Monkey in the Kung Fu Panda films, will star in the role of Master Li. He leads a voice cast that includes Dave Franco (Now You See Me 1 and 2) as Lloyd, Michael Pena (Ant Man) as Kai, Kumail Nanjiani (Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time, HBO’s Silicon Valley) as Jay, Zach Woods (NBC’s The Office, HBO’s Sillicon Valley) as Zane, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) as Cole, and Abbi Jacobson (Comedy Central’s Broad City) as Nya. The film, as previously described, will be a action-packed genre mash-up of kaiju films, martial arts movies, and anime. In keeping with that tone, the concept art that was shown at this year’s CinemaCon was described as a LEGO version of Pacific Rim.
