The LEGO Ninjago Movie
Lloyd is sixteen in a Lego city. By day the kids shout Boo Lloyd because his dad is Lord Garmadon, a four-armed warlord who keeps invading. By night Lloyd is the Green Ninja with Kai, Nya, Cole, Jay, and Zane, taught by Master Wu. Then a real cat the size of a building, Meowthra, walks into the plastic town.

Before you press play
The bus empties when Lloyd sits down. He is sixteen, the Green Ninja after school, and Lord Garmadon's son -- the warlord with four arms who will not stop attacking Ninjago City. Kids chant Boo Lloyd. Plastic mechs, foam bullets, Jackie Chan as Uncle Wu. Then Lloyd fires the Ultimate Weapon and it is a laser pointer. A live cat called Meowthra steps on the city.
- A dad who keeps invading
- A whole school saying boo
- Mechs over a city
- A bus over a bridge
- A real cat on Lego people
- A son who unmasks
What may feel big
Classmates move off the bus and chant Boo Lloyd. Garmadon attacks; a school bus hangs off a bridge then drops toward water. Shark mechs, lava 'firing' of generals. Lloyd uses a laser pointer that summons Meowthra, a real cat who crushes mechs, toys with a bird-mech, and later eats Garmadon and spits him out slimed. A cage over a volcano. Lloyd's arm pops off and gets clicked back. They make up.
4-6. Not a fit. The pile-on, the bus drop, and a giant real cat on tiny people are a lot of plastic war.
7-9. Six is the floor; seven and eight need you, volume down, and skips for the bus, Meowthra, and the Boo Lloyd cheer. Jokes do not cancel being the kid everyone moves away from.
10-12. They can take Lego fights. The cat is still a skip if scale-mismatch is a no. The dad who will not come home is the talk.

If you have not watched it yet
Should I sit with them?
We would not put this on for a child under 6 and leave the room. Plan to sit with them at least until 8. After that, many families can watch with a grown-up nearby rather than on the couch. The notes above say what happens. You know your child. This is not medical advice.
