LEGO Movie Maker app review: create a LEGO movie

Introduction

When it comes to LEGO and kids there is just no denying that it's a toy that pleases both boys and girls of all ages. In fact, you'll find plenty of adult males who still have quite the active collection of LEGO! The LEGO Movie Maker app is a fun way for kids to create their very own LEGO-based movie and then share it with friends and family. All the features and tools are kid-friendly so kids can feel free to be creative and have a whole lot of fun in the process.

Be Your Own Movie Director

As a kid one of the most fun things to do is to make movies with family and friends, so why not give kids a way to make movies using LEGO characters? With this app kids will be able to enjoy the whole moving-making process which includes filming, editing, and even adding music to the movie. By they time they are done it will look like a blockbuster film ready for the theaters! Okay maybe not quite that great, but kids will definitely be impressed with their results.

When the movie is done you are able to share it on YouTube and be sure to save it to your Camera Roll as well.

Features and Tools Galore

So besides having fun, what kind of tools and features will kids be able to enjoy with this app? Well it's actually quite packed with useful features. Launching the app the first time will require assistance from Mom or Dad as there is a user agreement/terms that have to be read and agreed to. After that you are set to go. I like that the app includes instructions, as this is a great way to familiarize yourself with all the tools and features. As well there are instructions given along the way to help you out.

The way the movie maker works is that it’s a stop movie production. This means you will set up your LEGO figures in a scene, take a picture, move them, take a picture again, and so on. Kids can get as creative as they want and delete and add frames. You are able to give your movie a title and who it is directed by, as well as choose from seven different soundtracks to add music to your movie. If you'd rather, you can use music from your Library.

You can also add text by using dialog cards, add sound effects, use a color filter on the camera, and even record your own sound effects.
