Trivia
Following the tradition of other Jackie Chan movies, bloopers are included at the end.

Goofs
As Lloyd and Garmadon are being carted toward the volcano, one of their captors claims that the 15 million Kelvin temperature lava will melt them before they even feel the heat. While technically true, volcanic lava is not anywhere near that hot. Volcanic lava can be anywhere from 970 to 1500 Kelvin (700 to 1200 Celsius.) By comparison, 15 million Kelvin is roughly 15 million Celsius and is the approximate temperature of the nuclear core of the sun. If the volcano was really 15 million kelvin, everything around it would be vaporized.

Quotes
[from trailer]
Garmadon: You ready for me to conquer Ninjago?
Lloyd: Oh, I'll be waiting...
[whispers]
Lloyd: Dad.
Garmadon: Sorry, what was that last thing you said?
Lloyd: What?
Garmadon: That last part, I didn't catch it.
Lloyd: Why, I didn't say anything, what do you mean? I said "I'll be waiting" and I stopped talking...
[takes off helmet]
Lloyd: ... Dad.
Garmadon: L-Lloyd?
Lloyd: That's right, your son! And it's LLOYD!
Garmadon: No. L-L-O-Y-D. I named you.
Lloyd: You ruined my life!
Garmadon: That's not true! I haven't even been a part of your life, how could I ruin it? I wasn't even there.

Crazy credits
In the extra scene later, there is a gag reel with Jackie Chan catching flying bowls.

Alternate versions
In the UK version, local television presenters Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard replaced the voices of Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan, respectively.

Better than "The Emoji Movie"

"The Emoji Movie", an attempt to emulate the success of "The Lego Movie", was released just weeks before "The Lego Ninjago Movie", the third construct in the popular plastic brick film franchise. "Emoji" was a disappointment, whereas "Ninjago" continues the winning formula of the Lego series.

Many children will already be familiar with the Ninjago television series and, like "Power Rangers" (another recent film based on a television series), we have a set of heroes with their own colours and powers and, for those are unfamiliar with them, there is a quick exposition of the the six members of the Secret Ninjago Force. Like "The Lego Movie", the story is neatly book-ended by some live action.

"Ninjago" does not have the originality of the first film in the franchise, but my 10 year old companion really enjoyed it and we can be sure that Lego characters will be back on the big screen sometime soon.
