The Lego Movie is an American media franchise and shared universe based on Lego construction toys. It began with the 2014 film The Lego Movie, which was directed and written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The success of the film led to the release of two licensed video games, a 4D film theme park attraction, two spin-off films titled The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie, which were released in 2017, Unikitty! an animated television series that also came out in the same year, and the sequel to the original film titled The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. All these films were produced by Warner Bros. Development would end in 2020, with Warner Bros. letting the rights lapse back to The Lego Group after The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part underperformed at the box office and the studio failed to materialize any new projects.
The franchise has received a generally positive critical reception, with the exception of The Lego Ninjago Movie which received mixed reviews, and has grossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office.
While Warner Bros. still owns the rights to the projects in their franchise, including the Unikitty! animated television series, Universal Pictures bought the rights to make separate films in a 5-year deal. The first separate Lego film under Universal's run of the film rights, Piece by Piece, was released on October 11, 2024, while five new Lego films under the new deal are in development.
Films
All four films in the franchise were produced as a collaboration between Warner Animation Group, Lego System A/S, Rideback (formerly Lin Pictures), Lord Miller Productions, Vertigo Entertainment, and Animal Logic, who also provided the animation. All four films were distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Of note, RatPac-Dune Entertainment (currently Access Industries) only had involvement with the first three films; Village Roadshow Pictures only had involvement financing the first movie; and only two movies were released in IMAX, The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. The Lego Ninjago Movie was originally planned for an IMAX release, but these showings were cancelled.

Cancelled films
The Billion Brick Race
In March 2015, Warner Bros. announced that a third Lego Movie spin-off, titled The Billion Brick Race, was in development. By July 2016, Jason Segel and Drew Pearce signed onto the project as co-directors and co-writers.[31][32][33] In August 2017, it was announced that Jorge R. Gutierrez was hired to replace them as its sole writer and director. At that time, the film was scheduled to be released on May 24, 2019.[34]
By February 2018, Gutierrez had left the project declaring it a failure.[35] In July 2018, the film's plot was announced by Pearce to be a Lego racing film, inspired by pre-existing racing films, including The Cannonball Run.[36]
In December 2019, concept art of the film's main characters was revealed by the film's initial director Jorge R. Gutierrez, along with the confirmation that he had permanently cancelled the project. The poor box office results of The Lego Ninjago Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, along with the film's lengthy conceptual phase, were given as the primary reasons.[37][38]
In July 2022, Gutierrez stated on Twitter that he intended for the film's two leads to be voiced by Diego Luna and Emma Stone. The film was also going to include elements of time travel as well as an appearance by the creator of Lego, Ole Kirk Kristiansen.[39]
Lego Superfriends
In December 2018, Chris McKay confirmed that a sequel to The Lego Batman Movie was in development, with him returning to direct. The film was set for a release in 2022.[40] However, while the rights of DC Comics are owned by Warner Bros., the sequel was cancelled due to Warner Bros. losing the Lego film rights after The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part underperformed at the box office, with Universal signing a deal as the distributor for future Lego films.[41]
In June 2021, McKay revealed that the script was being written by Michael Waldron and Dan Harmon, and was stated to have taken notes from The Godfather Part II as well as Boogie Nights. The film would have focused on Batman's relationship with the Justice League, particularly Superman, and the main antagonists would have been Lex Luthor and OMAC.[42] The film was tentatively titled Lego Superfriends.[43]
Future
Universal Pictures deal
After any of the LEGO films that Warner had planned failed to enter development, along with the box office underperformance of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Universal Pictures entered early negotiations in December 2019 to distribute upcoming feature film properties based on the Lego toys. Although Universal would develop and distribute future Lego films, the original The Lego Movie characters (Emmet, Wyldstyle, Unikitty, Benny, MetalBeard, etc.) and projects (The Lego Movie, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, The Lego Batman Movie, The Lego Ninjago Movie, and Unikitty!) are still owned by Warner Bros.
