What The Lego Video Means For Wicked
It Would Work Well As A Lego Movie
The video reveals thatWicked, with its show-stopping musical numbers and vibrant world,would be the perfect candidatefor aLego movieadaptation, similar toThe Lego Batman Movie,The Lego Ninjago Movie, and others that have been made. The imaginative world of Oz, from the Emerald City to Glinda’s bubble and the forests of Munchkinland, would lend itself beautifully to Lego’s visual creativity. Its familiar themes of friendship, destiny, and questioning authority could also be lightened with Lego’s signature comedic tone.
Upcoming Lego Movie Plans Prove The Current Live-Action Obsession Is Getting Out Of Hand
Live-action movies would typically get Lego reimaginings, but it looks like Hollywood is going to do the reverse with three live-action Lego movies.
Originating as a1995 book by Gregory Maguire, which reimagined the Land of Oz from the perspective of the misunderstood Elphaba,Wickedlater became a blockbuster stage musical and is now a two-part film adaptation. This trajectory already provesWicked’s adaptability and broad appeal, anda Lego movie would only further infuse the story with humor and charm, playfully reinterpreting its dramatic moments through the whimsy of brick-based storytelling. Its iconic songs and beloved characters would take on new life in Lego form, offering a fresh irreverent spin on a story that audiences already adore in multiple formats.
Our Take On A Lego Wicked Movie
Could It Actually Happen?
Making a LegoWickedmovie might prove challenging due to existing relationships in the industry. While theWickedmovie and Lego have collaborated on physical sets, the Lego movies themselves are produced by Warner Bros, and Universal holds the rights to theWickedmovies. This divide would make a LegoWickedmovie a difficult feat, as immense coordination between the two studios would be required to bring the concept to life on the big screen.
