LEGO is a Danish toy company founded in 1932 known for its plastic building toys. It's one of the most successful toy companies in the world and the largest toy manufacturer by sales. Some of LEGO's themes include Star Wars, Harry Potter, Ninjago, DC Comics, Disney, Friends (the first theme targeted to girls), and Marvel. In 2008, LEGO released several play-sets which were based on the 2008 Speed Racer movie. Only four sets were made due to the film being a box-office flop.
In 2014, a feature film, The LEGO Movie, was released to worldwide success, spawning two spinoff films in 2017 and a sequel in 2019. Speed Racer makes a cameo in this film.
