That's the Lego sub-brand "Friends" ... not the US sitcom "Friends"
(although there are Lego sets based on that as well).

Live-action characters set in a CGI Lego world ... sounds very silly!
They should stick to making fully CGI Lego movies. :-\


Lego's First-Ever Live-Action Musical Movie
Announces Cast, Plot, & More
-------------------------------------------
Lego has announced the cast and story for its first-ever
live-action musical movie. Lego Friends: Heartlake the Musical
will bring the popular Friends world to life through music and
live performances. The 90-minute feature follows a young girl
on a journey into Heartlake City.

According to a Variety report, Jada Langley and Gino Ochello
lead the upcoming movie. Langley plays Daisy, a young girl
struggling to fit in at a new school in a new country. Ochello
joins her as the story moves into the colorful world of
Heartlake City.

Daisy finds a mysterious key that transports her to the
Lego Friends world. She meets new friends there and soon learns
they need her help. Together, they work to save a vital local
landmark while the story unfolds through songs and dance.

Jada Langley recently played Joyce in the touring production of
Sunny Afternoon. Meanwhile, Gino Ochello currently leads
The Karate Kid: The Musical in London's West End. Both
performers bring theater experience to the musical's central
cast.
