Kids fanatically craze over Lego products worldwide. Legos were created by a company in Denmark, and sales have exploded. These days every action packed or family movie has Lego’s marketed or attached to it.

The Danish company is already minting a horde of cash off of its Lego products in general, the company has started to create retail stores as well, which are most notably in high-end malls.

A sequel to the popular movie has already started production.

This movie brought much needed success to Time Warner Cable TWC, as it has struggled to keep up with other animated films and their studios in this space.
