Legends of Chima

The first time I ever saw the Chima logo it was on a Toys 'R Us banner and I thought nothing of it. The next time I saw it was after watching many children's shows on Netflix with my son. I didn't want to watch it at first, but as time passed I eventually hot curious about and recently I caved. Admittedly as of writing this review I've only watched up to the 7th episode but hand-on-The-Bible I was blown away by how good it is. Okay, I admit it's not amazing, but the graphics are better than those of Lego Movie and it has a rich backlore and charming characters. And the stories are so drawing that I even forget the characters are Legos. I mean unlike other Lego media they refrain from using their Legoness to rebuild themselves (to my knowledge) and the sets and set pieces seldom-to-never have Lego logos or the brick tops. This keeps the fun, imaginative stories immersive. I will say that some characters are annoying and some lines are cheesy and I can tell when multiple characters are voiced by the same actor but hey, it's a kid's cartoon. Would a kid notice/care? No. I'd go as far as to say that this is the best Lego media I've seen.

I remember seeing Chima when I was maybe 8 and having it as my favorite show for a long time. Now when I think about Chima I get a lot of nostalgia and I only remember good things about the show.

I looked at some clipps of Chima on YouTube not long ago and was well surprised of how bad the lines are and how the story line isn't that good. As a child I didn't notice any of that and I guess that isn't very weird since it's a children's series.

I definitely recommend Chima since it's one of my childhoods most important shows and one I think children could learn from since they discuss friendship.

Lego legends of chima had a-lot of potential in terms of its lore and worldbuilding which had lots of room for different plots and arcs, but it lacked creativity and depth in the writing, and one pf it's biggest flaws being the generic main characters, the characters weren't weren't very memorable as they developed very little and weren't unique.

Although there were some great elements such as the world building and that the 1st season was good. It fell flat in alot pf aspects.

What a great series so far, The stories are great and the characters are well done. What i am liking most about this so far is that almost all of the vehicles in the series look very close to the buildable models adding to the enjoyment value you will get from purchasing them. Like all shows, some episodes are better than others, but in general the series is well done. The computer animation for the show in general and the Backgrounds in particular are superb and keep you interested in watching. I for one can't wait to see more episodes. There are so many more plots for this show that Lego could run this for 3 or 4 seasons at least, so far we are mainly focusing on the Lion, Crocodile, and Wolf tribes with a few episodes getting a little in depth with the Eagle and Ravens tribes and one with the Beavers, very little has been seen of the Gorilla, Rhino or Bear tribes so i feel there are plenty of stories to come that will spark the imagination of all who build the models, Well done Lego. i have also made a fan page for this theme, simply type in Chima in your facebook search bar

First of all, I want to say I am surprised to see 2 of the 3 previous comment stating that this series is targeting only young kids, since Legends of Chima is probably the first show my 4 years old son is watching that really caught my attention. I have seen a couple episodes of Ninjago and I felt like it was not as interesting as Legends of Chima, by far.

First of all, the universe of Legends of Chima is rather detailed, with a lot of characters, an interesting complexity in the relationships and interactions between them. The story line is also a strong point to me, I mean there is so much you can expect from a kid cartoon, but in this case, I feel like they put a real effort into it. I can't speak for the English Version since my son is watching the episodes in French, but the vocabulary is of a pretty decent level, and the french voices work for me. I actually watched the first and second season entirely with my son and truly enjoyed it.

Additionally, the franchise has been used to create a series of video games that appear to be pretty interesting to me, especially Legends of Chima Online, which is a Free To Play MMORPG, very successfully using the Unity3D engine, which requires no installation and which is a very very decent game to me, even for hardcore gamer I am (or used to be). We enjoy playing together and venturing in the world of Chima with my young boy, which adds even more fun to the show when we watch it.

In conclusion, I would recommend Lego Legends of Chima for younger and even older kids, and even though I am not a Fan of the Lego universe, at first glance. The 8/10 might appear a touch high, but it is certainly closer to the reality than the 1/10 it has been given in the other comments.
