Warner Bros is wasting no time capitalizing on the success of The Lego Movie. The studio is busy crafting its own Lego universe, featuring a direct sequel coming in 2019, and spin-offs like The Lego Batman Movie, Ninjago, and The Million Brick Race. Each project has its own kind of potential, because of its recognition among Lego’s massive fanbase. Specifically Ninjago has a successful run as an animated TV series going on its sixth season, along with several video games and graphic novels.
Earlier this week, we finally got an update on the voice cast for the Ninjago Movie. Courtesy of BrickSet.com, who got the information from a catalog at the 2016 Licensing Expo. Here are the voices being provided.
