The Lego Ninjago Movie is a 2017 computer-animated comedy film based on the toy line of the same name and the tie-in animated television series Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. Produced by Warner Animation Group, RatPac Entertainment, Lego System A/S, Dan Lin's Lin Pictures, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's Lord Miller Productions, Roy Lee's Vertigo Entertainment, and Animal Logic, the film was directed by Charlie Bean, Paul Fisher, and Bob Logan (in their feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by Logan, Fisher, William Wheeler, Tom Wheeler, Jared Stern, and John Whittington. It is the first theatrical film to be based on an original Lego property, and the third installment in The Lego Movie film series as well as its second spin-off. It stars the voices of Dave Franco, Justin Theroux, Michael Pena, Kumail Nanjiani, Abbi Jacobson, Zach Woods, Fred Armisen and Olivia Munn, as well as a live-action role by Jackie Chan (who also voiced Wu in the film). The film focuses on a young teenage ninja Lloyd Garmadon, as he attempts to accept the truth about his villainous father and learn what it truly means to be a ninja warrior as a new threat emerges to endanger his homeland.
A collaboration between production houses from the United States and Denmark, The Lego Ninjago Movie was released in the United States on September 22, 2017, in 2D, 3D, and Dolby Cinema formats by Warner Bros. Pictures. Unlike the success of the first two films in the franchise, the film was not as well-received, getting mixed reviews from critics, and grossed only $123.1 million worldwide against its $70 million budget.
