Six gifted young ninjas must protect their island home from an evil dark lord...

Following hot on the
heels of the massively
successful The LEGO
Batman Movie (which was
released in February this
year), The LEGO Ninjago
Movie takes the lesser-known
but still hugely popular
Ninjago toys and makes an
entertaining and exciting
family adventure out of them.
As with The LEGO Batman
Movie and the 2014 The
LEGO Movie before it, the
film’s vocal cast is outstanding.
Jackie Chan plays wise Sensei
Wu (pictured right above),
while Justin Theroux is the
nefarious four-armed baddie

Introduced in late
2010, LEGO Ninjago
is one of LEGO’s
most popular
properties with 22
building sets and
its own TV series
– LEGO Ninjago:
Masters of Spinjitzu
– which you can
catch on Cartoon
Network. Spinjitzu
is a close-combat
martial arts
technique that
involves, er,
spinning around!
above). With a screenplay
by no less than 12 writers
(a team effort if ever there
was one), the plot sees our six
young ninja heroes – Jay, Kai,
Cole, Zane, Lloyd and Nya
– attempting to defend their
island home of Ninjago
from Garmadon’s dark forces.
But there’s a twist in the
tale: Lloyd (AKA the Green
Ninja) is Garmadon’s son!
The big meanie deserted him
when he was a baby. Boo hiss.
Easily as witty as the first
two LEGO outings, with some
truly breathtaking animation,
this is an epic, for-the-ages,
laugh-out-loud-funny tale
that deserves a sequel of
its own in a year or two.
It’s time to ‘find the ninja
within ya’. Go team!
