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.

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.

At first when i heard of lego Chima I thought hit sounded stupid. what imbecile want's to watch a bunch of lego animal's fighting and doing what ever they do. then I decided to sit down and watch the first episode and i fell in love with the charters. the voice acting is lousy but with time comes experience. the story is entraining but not original at all. it truly the characters that made me enjoy it. they each had their own view on life and with that view came their problems. i should truly give the credit to the writers for their wonderful character development. but what they should do and i'm only on the first season so they may have already done this, bunt they need to kill of a not needed character and let each character's personality's reflect how they take it. this may be a bad idea and now that i typed it I'm felling like it is a little to much for a kid show.
