When This 8 Year Old Kid Changed The History Of LEGO

Vusi Thembekwayo on Lego's movies becoming more profitable than the toys.

Jake, a young boy passionate about Lego, made a stop-motion Lego movie that went viral online. Initially, Lego's legal team sent him a cease-and-desist letter, demanding he remove the video due to intellectual property concerns.

However, a new executive at Lego saw the potential in fan-made content and argued for encouraging such creativity instead of stifling it. This shift led Lego to support and promote fan-created Lego movies, transforming their approach.

Years later, Jake became a leading figure in Lego's movie division, creating blockbuster films that captivated audiences worldwide. Lego movies became a major revenue stream for the company, surpassing toy sales.
