The Master: A LEGO Ninjago Short (2016)

The Master: A LEGO Ninjago Short is a compact burst of pure, plastic-brick joy—an energetic little showcase that knows exactly how to entertain and never wastes a second. It throws you into a lively, action-comedy vibe where Master Wu’s larger-than-life seriousness collides with wonderfully broad, kid-friendly absurdity, all delivered with exciting animation and razor-tight pacing. It’s not trying to be deep or groundbreaking; it’s trying to make you grin, and it succeeds with the confidence of something well-executed from start to finish. If you’re in the mood for a quick, fun Ninjago-flavored pick-me-up (or you’ve got a family audience nearby), this is an easy yes—though viewers craving a full story arc may find it more snack than meal.

The Master: A LEGO Ninjago Short is aiming for a quick, kid-friendly gag built around Master Wu getting into a silly conflict with Chicken, leaning hard into slapstick and familiar Ninjago humor. If you’re expecting a clever mini-story or action that builds, this can feel repetitive, with the joke stretching past its welcome and turning a bit tiresome by the end. Some moments also land as awkward rather than funny, so if you’re sensitive to cringe comedy, you may find yourself checking the clock. Still, if you just want a lightweight, low-stakes LEGO short to keep younger viewers entertained for a few minutes, it does the job.
