In this big-screen Ninjago adventure, the battle for Ninjago City calls to action young Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, who are all secret warriors and LEGO Master Builders. Led by kung fu master Wu, as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon, the Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyds 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 true power.

In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble—LEGO Batman—stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham City, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Will Arnett reprises his starring role from “The LEGO Movie” as the voice of LEGO Batman, aka Bruce Wayne. Zach Galifianakis (the “Hangover” films, “Muppets Most Wanted”) stars as The Joker; Michael Cera (TV’s “Arrested Development”) as the orphan Dick Grayson; Rosario Dawson (TV’s “Daredevil”) as Barbara Gordon; and Ralph Fiennes (the “Harry Potter” films) as Alfred.

The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average lego minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. Starring as Emmets fellow travelers are oscar winner Morgan Freeman (`Million Dollar Baby`), as vitruvius, an old mystic; Elizabeth Banks (`The Hunger Games,` Emmy nominee for `30 rock`), as tough-as-nails wyldstyle, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest;Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, `30 rock`), as the mysterious batman, a lego minifigure with whom Wyldstyle shares a history; Nick Offerman (NBCs `Parks and Recreation`) as a Craggy, swaggering pirate obsessed with revenge on president business; and Alison Brie (NBCs `Community`) as a sweet, loveable member of the team, with a powerful secret.

The film follows Soren, a young owl enthralled by his father`s epic stories of the Guardians of Ga` Hoole, a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. While Soren dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal his father`s favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd`s jealousy has terrible consequences--causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians--Soren`s only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.
