the production of Playmobil The Movie started few months after the airing of Super 4 in France (toward the end of the summer of 2014)
Super 4 was made to celebrate the 40 years of the company.
The studios noticed that the show was going good so eventually the decision to make a movie was made, and Super 4 was renewed for a second season (that terminated this year)
Super 4 is what inspired the movie to be made, specially in terms of different “worlds” together (because the Super 4 world share 5 differents locations that are their own world, as like the medieval land, the fairy land, the pirates island, a technologic city and the lost world)
The Lego Movie was made some years after The Adventures of Clutch Powers (the first “original” lego movie) and the tv series Ninjago.
Stop going around saying that Playmobil copied The Lego Movie or that is trying to steal their audience with the humor. They are their own things, minding their own business. The only thing they have in common is just how the “hands” are made, for the rest they are totally different minifigures and playsets.
The Lego Movie innaugurated an era where studios will feel more confident about making movies based on toys, actually using the toys “style”, not one where everything that came after it is just a ripp-off.
