Lego Studios was first distributed in November 2000, and was later discontinued in 2003. The last series in the franchise was the Lego Spider-Man set. The appeal of Lego Studios was that it could be used for stop-motion animation to make films with Lego bricks. In response, many websites have grown that are dedicated to the product and feature many uploaded videos, such as Brickfilms.com.

The Magic Portal
''The Magic Portal'' is a 1989 live-action/stop motion animated sci-fi adventure short film written and directed by Lindsay Fleay. Filmed with the Lego line of construction toys, the film is considered to be a significant example of early brickfilms. The film tells the story of an astronaut that finds a mysterious portal that transports him and his crew to strange and wondrous worlds. Fleay appears in a live-action role. Initially met with threats of legal action by Lego, the film was referenced in the 2014 film ''The Lego Movie''. History The film was produced in Perth, Australia from 1985 to 1989. The film was shot on a Bolex 16mm camera. Fleay, who wrote, directed, produced and narrated the film, was able to secure partial financing from the Australian Film Commission, allowing for higher production values than typically seen in brickfilms. He made his own Lego faces with ink, and used several fans to prevent the plastic from overheating under the photographic lights. Fle ...

Stop Motion
Stop motion is an animated filmmaking technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion or change when the series of frames is played back. Any kind of object can thus be animated, but puppets with movable joints (puppet animation) or plasticine figures (''clay animation'' or claymation) are most commonly used. Puppets, models or clay figures built around an armature are used in model animation. Stop motion with live actors is often referred to as pixilation. Stop motion of flat materials such as paper, fabrics or photographs is usually called cutout animation. Terminology The term "stop motion", relating to the animation technique, is often spelled with a hyphen as "stop-motion". Both orthographical variants, with and without the hyphen, are correct, but the hyphenated one has a second meaning that is unrelated to animation or cinema: "a device for automatical ...

''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers.
