30 movies that need the Lego treatment so bad it’s wrong
Lego movies are cute, but which films would make the most inappropriate entries into the family franchise?
There are plenty of cute Lego movies out there, whether you look at Batman, Star Wars, or even the Lego Movie itself — but what about other movies that need the Lego treatment?
Which movies in your life are the most memorable? They are either coming-of-age stories, some of the classic horrors, or major franchises that aren’t always suitable for families. These movies will never get the Lego treatment. They wouldn’t work for the main target audience of Lego.
Yet there are certain movies that would make excellent Lego versions. They would give viewers the chance to remember the past and bring in a hint of their childhood.
30. The Hunger Games series
Premise of the movies: The four-movie franchise is dark and twisted. Based on a novel series, audiences were taken through a dystopian future where America was split into districts. Each district had its own tasks and lifestyle, whether they mined coal, felled trees, or even produced entertainment for the people.
The darkness to the world of Panem isn’t completely suitable for a Lego movie. There is no way that it would be suitable for small children, although it would call out to teenagers and young adults.
Why they need the Lego treatment: The Hunger Games and its three other movies could be told with brighter colors, more costumes, and bigger graphics. This would be a chance to bring more imagination than live-action can possibly create. It would also be a chance for the novel and movies to truly come together as one.
The Lego Movie turned out to be the imagination of a boy. This could work out to be the novels being literally told onscreen. There were limitations for the movie since the novel was written from the first person. Elements from the books were missed out and other parts were added in, losing some of the connection. That wouldn’t happen when told through Lego.
Fans have already made trailers with Lego. Others have cried out for The Hunger Games Lego sets to build and create. These have shown that a movie would work.
