30 movies that need the Lego treatment so bad it’s wrong

16. Ted

Premise of the movie: Ted is the cuddly teddy bear that every adult wishes they had. This 2012 adult comedy is about John Bennet, played by Mark Wahlberg, who made a wish that his teddy bear would come to life. Sure enough, the wish came true and that beloved bear called Ted, voiced by Seth MacFarlane, would become his best friend.

Ted is definitely not child-friendly. The bear grows up as John does. He’s foul-mouthed, a smoker, drinker, and drug addict, and is definitely not afraid to tell people what he thinks.

The movie centers on the need to grow up. Mila Kunis stars as Lori, John’s girlfriend, who makes him choose between her or the bear. It doesn’t go well, and she soon realizes that life wouldn’t quite be the same without the teddy in her life.

Why it needs the Lego treatment: While it definitely wouldn’t be suitable for kids, Lego Ted would be the perfect comedy for adults. It would show the story from a slightly different view: toys with a human best friend. After all, Ted is a stuffed toy in the world of humans, so humans in the world of plastic toys makes sense.

If Ted was to be Lego, would he be round or square? Could he be a different toy altogether, like Duplo?

There would definitely be room for other movies and universes. While Ted focused on Flash Gordon, there are many other superheroes, TV and movie characters, and more that could turn up.
