Tomorrow Will Be a Bad Day For LEGO Fans

UPDATE: May 31, 2026 - 10:00 AM EDT

The LEGO Movie Leaves Netflix Tomorrow

If you want to squeeze in a last-minute viewing of The LEGO Movie on Netflix, today's your last chance to make it happen. The 2014 hit family flick will remain available until tomorrow, June 1, 2026 — if you're a Netflix subscriber looking for something to wind down your evening with, grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy while you can.

Since arriving on Netflix in March of this year, 2014's hit animated blockbuster The LEGO Movie is now scheduled to be removed from the streaming service. With its fast-paced humor, colorful animation, and surprisingly emotional story, Netflix's addition of The LEGO Movie to its platform helped the film once again find an audience among younger viewers and long-time LEGO fans. However, streaming removals are becoming all the more common, and Netflix often cycles through titles as licensed movies arrive and depart depending on streaming agreements.

For many Netflix subscribers, The LEGO Movie's removal will mark the end of another short but popular streaming run for one of the most beloved family films. There's currently no set removal date for The LEGO Movie 2: Second Part, and luckily, there's still just enough time to revisit the 2014 Chris Pratt-led comedy before it's removed from Netflix tomorrow, June 1.

The LEGO Movie Was a Huge Hit in 2014

LEGO Fans Still Love The Animated Film

Directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, 2014's The LEGO Movie follows an ordinary construction worker named Emmet Brickowski, who is mistakenly identified as "The Special," a prophesied hero destined to save the LEGO universe. Alongside characters like Batman, Wyldstyle, and Vitruvius, Emmet embarks on a chaotic mission to stop the villainous Lord Business from permanently gluing the LEGO world together. The animated movie blended rapid-fire comedy with creative, colorful animation that perfectly recreated the appearance of real LEGO bricks.

What surprised many critics and audiences at the time was The LEGO Movie's success. It was both a creative and commercial hit; produced on a budget of $60 million, the film earned more than $470 million worldwide and became one of the biggest animated hits of the year. It also received widespread acclaim from critics, boasting a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score and earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song thanks to the viral anthem "Everything is Awesome." Beyond box office success, The LEGO Movie launched a major film franchise that includes sequels, spin-offs, and video game adaptations, proving that a film based on a toy line could deliver originality, humor, and emotional depth.

Even 12 years later, The LEGO Movie remains so beloved because it captured the creativity and freedom that made LEGO sets and games so popular in the first place. Rather than acting as a feature-length advertisement, The LEGO Movie embraced the chaotic imagination associated with building LEGO worlds, combining pop culture references, slapstick comedy, and heartfelt storytelling with a dazzling voice cast. Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Banks, and other A-list actors elevated the movie's playful tone and smart script, creating a fun romp that appeals to kids and adults alike.

Netflix Subscribers Won't Be Able to Watch The LEGO Movie For Much Longer

The Film Won't Be Available On Netflix After Today, May 31

Netflix US users now have limited time to watch, or rewatch, The LEGO Movie on the streaming service. The platform is set to remove the animated blockbuster tomorrow, likely due to licensing agreements between Netflix and Warner Bros. Pictures, which owns the distribution rights to the movie. There's been no official announcement as to where The LEGO Movie will stream next, but Warner Bros. titles frequently rotate onto services connected to the studio's parent company, including Max.

In the meantime, fans can still watch The LEGO Movie on Netflix, or purchase/rent the film via platforms like AppleTV, Google Play, and Amazon Prime Video. Streaming removals have become increasingly common in recent years as studios reclaim titles for their own services, often causing popular movies to shift between platforms multiple times. Hopefully, The LEGO Movie will find another streaming home shortly after it leaves Netflix.
