The two-part adventure Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu is based on a line of toys Lego introduced in 2011. Kai, a young blacksmith, is eager--too eager--to forge a great sword. He initially snubs the unassuming Sensei Wu, the master of Spinjitzu martial arts. When Kai's sister Nya is kidnapped by Samukai and his skeleton army from the Underworld, Wu realizes the evil Garmadon is using Samukai to find four legendary weapons that will give him enormous power. Wu trains Kai to join his student-warriors, Jay, Zane, and Cole, and keep Garmadon from seizing power. Masters of Spinjitzu is a lightweight, product-based adventure, but it's not a terribly original one. The training sequence, which pits Kai against a series of armed mechanical devices, borrows heavily from Kung Fu Panda. Other elements recall Naruto and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the filmmakers blithely mix Chinese, Japanese, and Western elements. But little kids who love their Lego toys will probably overlook these shortcoming and enjoy the adventure, which is obviously designed to kick off a series. Parents should be prepared to field requests for the many toys that appear in Masters of Spinjitzu. (Unrated; suitable for ages 5 and older: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Product Description

Masters of Spinjitzu: a new force to save the world! The world of Ninjago is in terrible danger. An army of skeletons has invaded from the underworld, under the command of the evil Lord Garmadon. Their goal: capture the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu, artifacts so powerful it is said no one being can wield them all at once. Now Garmadon's brother, the heroic Sensei Wu, must gather four young men and train them in the ways of the ancient art of Spinjitzu. These four - Kai, Jay, Zane and Cole - must become ninja and stand against the dark power of Garmadon and his evil skeleton army. If they fail, the four weapons will be lost and Ninjago doomed forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great stories but only two episodes December 23, 2011

By Catherine A. Kanter

Format:DVD

Both, my 7 and 9 years old kids have been big fans of the Lego Ninja Lego so i was very exicted to buy them that DVD.
By the way I purchased it brand new at ToyRus for $12.99 on their website.
What I like:
The story explains well how all the charaters came to be what they are today. The animation is great and the dialogues funny and very entertaining .
What I do not like :
There are only 2 episodes so the Dvd is not long.
Episode one explains how the two bothers Seinsi and Garmadon went separate ways and how Sensei had to find the four Ninjas.
episodes two introduced the 4 dragons and how the Ninjas were able to go in the underworld to rescue Nya.
That is it.
If you have been watching some of the clips avalaible on the Lego website they are exictly the same in the DVD.
Also in Mid January the Cartoon Network will preview THE CARTOON of Ninjago.
I am guessing it will be the same as the DVD.
In summary:
For 12 dollars my kids got to watch it plenty of times during their Xmas break.That was worth it for me.
Now if you want to record the episodes from the Cartoon network then you will be save the money.
I hope this help.

We were so excited to get this... but didn't realize it was just the first two episodes of the TV show which are available online for free on the Lego site. Bummer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ninjago is awesome! April 3, 2012

This is a great new series of legos! My son loves them and he's 8! I love that LEGO is making movies for their toys...my son will watch these! And even though it's a little pricey for 2 episodes, I'm so thankful because they are clean and fun! The other stuff he wants to watch sometimes...not so much! Also, Amazon promised me the DVD on the day of release...the 27th...and I got it that day. Amazon is a life saver for me sometimes!
