The Lego Ninjago Movie's voice cast includes Hollywood A-Listers Olivia Munn and Justin Theroux as well as a bunch of the funniest comedians of today - including SNL's Fred Armisen, Broad City's Abbi Jacobson and Silicon Valley duo Zach Woods and Kumail Nanjiani.
Warner Bros also released a Lego Ninjago synopsis that already got us crane kicking: "[A fierce battle] calls to action young Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, (Franco) along with his friends, who are all secret warriors and Lego Master Builders. Led by kung fu master Wu, as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon, the Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd's dad.
"Pitting mech against mech and father against son, the epic showdown will test this fierce but undisciplined team of modern-day ninjas who must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their true power."
This next instalment of the Lego movie universe comes from Charlie Bean, director of Tron: Uprising and veteran of the cartoons The Ren and Stimpy Show, Dexter's Laboratory and, helpfully, Samurai Jack.
The Lego Ninjago Movie palm-strikes into US cinemas on September 22, 2017 and October 13, 2017 in the UK.
Also coming soon is The Lego Batman Movie on February 10, 2017 in the US and the UK.
