The Lego Movie is an American media franchise based on Lego construction toys. It began with the 2014 film The Lego Movie, which was directed and written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The success of the film led to the release of two licensed video games, a 4D film theme park attraction, two spin-off films titled The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie, which were released in 2017, Unikitty! an animated television series that also came out in the same year, and the sequel to the original film titled The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part in 2019. Plans for a third spin-off film and a sequel to The Lego Batman Movie were later shelved. Development would end in 2020, with Warner Bros. letting the rights lapse back to The Lego Group after the studio failed to create any new projects within that time frame.

The franchise has received a generally positive critical reception, with the exception of The Lego Ninjago Movie which received mixed reviews, and has grossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office. While Warner Bros. still owns the rights to the projects in their franchise, including the Unikitty! animated television series, Universal Pictures bought 5-year rights to make separate films from 2020 to 2025, with plans to include their own IP, including franchises and characters, in them. The first Lego film under Universal's tenure of the film rights, Piece by Piece, is set for release on October 11, 2024.
