Basic info about the show))

Ninjago is a Danish/Canadian LEGO show used to revamp LEGO’s Ninjago Caste sets. The show was produced by Wilfilm from 2011-2019 (pilots-s10) before Wildbrain took over from 2019-present (s11-Dragons Rising). The main premise is about a team of ninjas overcoming a force of evil while learning lessons and bonding with one another along the way.

Behind The Scenes

- An ancient Kazakh instrument, was chosen as the main leitmotif in the Dragon Hunters theme. This is because of its ties with Genghis Kongs warriors since they played it during raiding villages.

- Tommy Andreasn (writer of Ninjago) was the person who wrote the iconic "a man has fallen into the river, in LEGO City!" quote for a LEGO City set ad

- Arins obsession with pie came from an inside joke between the voice actor and one of the writers. This is because, on an old show the two worked on together Arin VA (Devon Mack) brought in a homemade pie for the crew.

- Michael Kramer says he usually buys a new instrument for each Ninjago season.

- Ninjagos composers (Jay Vincent, Michael Kramer) have stated that they only play villains themes with finger instruments while heroes themes are played with wind instruments. This is most notably seen in Harumi's leitmotif as in S8 ep 7 "Game Of Masks" when Harumi is revealed as the villain, her leitmotif is switched from being played on a flute to be played on a violin.

- Originally, Ninjagos pilot was doomed to the fate of other LEGO specials. It was supposed to be much like Atlantis where it was supposed to be a glorified ad of the LEGO minifigures doing little ten minute adventures. The Hagemen brothers knew straight away they wanted to make the show a saga with a more consistent story and lore.

- Kai's voice actor, Vincent Tong thought that he would've got the role as Zane while Zane's voice actor, Brent Miller, thought he was more likely to get Kai or any of the other ninja.

- The voice actors didn't know who the green ninja was gonna be. Brent miller (Zanes VA) thought it would be Nya while Kai's voice actor (Vincent Tong) thought it would be Kai.

- The person who Voice acts The Ice Emporer is named Graeme Palisade.. except this person doesn’t exist!! Brent Miller (Zane’s VA) used that stage name (graemer=his middle name, Pailsade=his old neighbourhood) to hide the Ice Emporers true identity!!

 - The Great Devourer is based off a Norse mythology creature known as the Jormungandr or The World Snake. The City of Ouroboros is also named after a symbol of a dragon-snake eating its own tail, this dragon-snake usually being depicted as the Jormungandr. The City of Ouroboros actually depict this symbol in their flag and various other places in it.

- Originally, Nadakhans name was supposed to be "Azad" this name was used for most recordings until they realized it was similar to a certain political leaders name. They had to re-do most of the voice recordings for Skybound because of that

- Karloff is voicde by Scott Mcneil who had also voiced Clouse, The Overlord and Nadakhan.
