Following the Kung Fu Panda franchise and Big Hero 6, The Lego Ninjago Movie is the latest animation to take inspiration from martial arts movies. In this Asian-flavoured instalment of the Lego series, a group of teenage Ninjas are all that stands between Ninjago City and the near daily attacks from the evil Lord Garmadon. To complicate matters, it happens that the Green Ninja, aka Lloyd, is the estranged son of Garmadon. High points include the ingenious use of sharks as weapons and the six-toed furry monster Meowthra. Very silly, very funny and particularly recommended for fans of hokey chopsocky films and kittens.
