* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Unlike [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie Emmet]] or [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie Batman]], who are both adults with jobs with varying degrees of respect, Lloyd is a high school teenager ostracized by his peers due to his father being a supervillain (who he doesn't have a good relationship with either), and seems [[JumpedAtTheCall pretty eager]] to start his career as a superhero. Also unlike Emmet, who struggled with being noticed due to how unremarkable he was, Lloyd is well-known, but only in the capacity of being the son of a supervillain.

* AdaptationalWeaponSwap: Several Ninja use different signature weapons than in the show with only Kai sticking with his original weapon (a Katana). Cole goes from a Scythe to a Hammer, Jay goes from Nunchucks to a Flail, Lloyd goes from a generic Katana (which he shared with Kai) to a Unique Sword, Zane goes from Shurikens to a Bow and Arrow, and Nya switches from not having a signature weapon to using a Spear. Interestingly, this only applies to the tie-in sets as they never use any weapons in the Movie. Additionally, some of these weapons would later carry over to the show, though Jay stuck with Nunchucks, Zane switched back to Shurikens after one season, and Cole would frequently switch between a scythe and hammer depending on the season.
