Lego Elves: Secrets of Elvendale

Lego Elves Webisodes

Lego Elves (stylized as LEGO Elves) was a Lego product line produced by The Lego Group that was launched in 2015. [2] [3] The product line was based on the storyline of accompanying animated series on Disney Channel, the Lego YouTube channel, and Netflix which follow the adventures of a character named Emily Jones who travels to a magical land called Elvendale. The theme aimed to introduce a fantasy element to girl-focused Lego products. It was discontinued in 2018.

Overview

The Lego Elves theme was underpinned by the storyline of its accompanying animated series. The Lego Elves animated television series began with a mini movie special titled Unite The Magic. An animated webisode series was released on the Lego YouTube channel. An animated series titled Lego Elves: Secrets of Elvendale was produced and aired by Netflix. Both the Lego toy line and the animated series targeted the girls market. The series focus on a human girl named Emily Jones, who inherits a magical amulet from her grandmother and travels through a portal to a magical realm called Elvendale. The storyline relates how she meets four elves with elemental powers (fire, earth, wind and water) with whom she fights against evil forces, and who help her to return home. [4] [5]

Development

Following the success of Lego Friends and Lego Disney Princess, The Lego Group aimed to launch another Lego theme targeted at the girls market. In contrast to the contemporary setting of Lego Friends, Lego Elves aimed to introduce a fantasy setting into girl-focused Lego toys. The theme was developed after testing several story ideas with girls around the world. [6]

Launch

The Lego Elves theme was announced on February 12, 2015 at the American International Toy Fair. The toy line began with the release of eight toy construction sets that introduced the four main elves and their home environments which began to launch in March 2015. [7] An official teaser for the animated series was released on the Lego YouTube channel on December 15, 2014. [8] This was followed by the release of a trailer on February 19, 2015. [9]

Critical reception

Jenny Nixon for Common Sense Media gave the series a three-star rating, commenting, "This series is jam-packed with little girl bait - sparkling rainbow oceans, a flowing-haired Pegasus or three - and though the plot has a similar amount of depth, there's still something kind of fun about it. The quests Emily and her elf friends go on can be a tad generic, sure, but it's always nice to see a show with a high percentage of female characters, most of whom jump right in on the action and don't need a boy (or boy elf) to lead the way." [4]

Critical reception

Joyce Slaton for Common Sense Media gave the series a three-star rating and commented on the "beautiful visuals, charming characters, heavy commercialism". The review also opined, "It's certainly lovely to look at -- the typical blocky Lego style has been abandoned for a rainbow-hued and glitter palette - and it goes down smoothly enough for young viewers who like mild antics lightened up with lots of jokes and friendly repartee between characters." [56]
