Based on the LEGO toyline and animated Disney series LEGO Elves and with an animation style unlike any other Lego animated property, the story revolves around Emily Jones telling her little sister about the world of Elvendale. Though Sophie doesn't believe her, she follows her into a portal, where she learns the world of Elvendale is real. After Sophie is kidnapped by the Goblin King, who wishes to use Emily's magic amulet for his own purposes, our heroes head out to save her.
Tropes:
- Ambiguously Brown: Azari and Rosalyn have darker skin tones no other characters in Elvendale have.

- Badass Normal: Besides owning a magical amulet, Emily Jones is an otherwise normal teenager.
- Big Bad: Cronan, the Goblin King.
- Butt-Monkey: Farran. If someone is going to suffer an amusing injury, chances are it's going to be him.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Cronan. He lost his mother when she failed to make one of her spells work properly and was unable to save her. This later led him to risk tampering with dark magic to try and free her.

- Mind Control: Cronan uses mind control magic to control the goblins.
- My God, What Have I Done?: While not said aloud, Cronan goes through a version of this when he realized Emily, Sophie, and the other Elves really cared about him and still wanted to be his friends. That, and learning Rosalyn had apparently been killed.
- Quartzine, realizing the error of her ways, was able to restore the life energy of the forest as her last act.
