LEGO - La légende de Chima

The problem with Chima wasn't that it tried to be like Ninjago, the problem with Chima was that it had good elements but it didn't know how to use them well

Look, the plot makes wants you to think these animal tribes are in war, but you can't buy that because they only bother to show the reasons about why the Lions and Crocodiles want to kill each other, but they didn't do the same for the other tribes. The Eagles and Gorillas are with the Lions and the Wolves and the Ravens are with the Crocodiles because that's how it seems in the promotional material. if you want to put several sides in a war you have to give to all of them a reason about why they are in the side they are and why they want to kill the other side(s)

Laval is, easily, the worst character of all. I mean, he's the protagonist, but the least he has is character devlopment. There are moments that the writers could've taken to make him look like a good son, friend and warrior, someone who wants the best for the tribes of his world, but instead of that, the writers just kept him as the annoying, stupid and so bland character throught the entire series. He makes so stupid choices that you can justify them saying that he does them because the writers need the story to continue

This series has the most annoying perfomace of voices that I've ever heard in a kids show. There are serious moments where the voices sound more like if they're trying to make a comic gag, which ruins the feeling of the moment.

The villains are pretty pathetic as well, starting with a female crocodile who uses a flower to control his brother and rule Chima (cliché), going through a scorpion that I don't know why he wants all the chi for himself (another cliché) and finishing with a sabertooth who wants to freeze all the land without a justified reason.

This show has a problem using comedy. Seriously, most of the jokes more than making you laugh, they will make you close your eyes of embarrassment and you'll thanks to yourself for not seeing this with someone else (Assuming that you plan to watch this alone)

I'd talk about the side character but all of them are just too annoying and bland that is not woth it

And to end, most of the story is bad written. The first season is boring and lame, the second looks like if the writers didn't know what to do with it and the third is the only one wich I think is nearly good... well, decent. And the last episodes were the only ones that tried to catch my attention,those were the only ones that kept me awake to see what was happening. The rest, aside to be boring, they don't wake up the desire to watch them again

All in all, Legends Of Chima was a faild attempt to replace Ninjago. The only good things I can say about Chima is that it had a good animation, soundtracks and theme song, but that's all, everything else stinks. I wouldn't recommend you to watch this, but if you wanna pass cringe, well do it

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.

This may be a lego TV show so it's meant for kids but as I watched it, it was pretty damn good. It tells a good story of friends becoming enemies and to learn to do the right thing. And how the easy way in life is not always the right decision. I enjoyed it so much I wished it would have continued for at least two - three more seasons, Lego's only mistake was to end this show so quickly.

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.

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
