Warner Bros. has released a series of “elemental” character posters from the upcoming animated filmThe LEGO Ninjago Movie. The film is a spinoff of sorts fromThe LEGO Moviefollowing this spring’sThe LEGO Batman Movie, as it takes place in the same universe as those films and follows the same general rules, but tells a new story with new characters. This film is based on the Ninjago LEGO line and features the voice ofDave Francoas young Master Builder Lloyd, who must team up with his friends to become secret ninja warriors and take on the evil warlord Garmadon (voiced byJustin Theroux), who also happens to be Lloyd’s dad.
Charlie Bean(TRON: Uprising) directs the film alongsidePaul FisherandBob Logan, whilePhil LordandChris Millerserve as producers. These character posters offer a colorful look at the full ensemble, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this film sets itself apart fromThe LEGO MovieandLEGO Batman.

Here’s the official synopsis forThe LEGO Ninjago Movie:
In this big-screen NINJAGO adventure, the battle for NINJAGO City calls to action young Master Builder Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, who are all secret ninja warriors. Led by Master Wu, as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon, The Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd’s dad. Pitting mech against mech and father against son, the epic showdown will test this fierce but undisciplined team of modern-day ninjas who must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their inner power of Spinjitzu.
