Synopsis
Emmet and Lucy have been making everything in Syspocalypstar ever since. But when Kingpin and the other Marvel Villains threaten to destroy Syspocalypstar, Ninjago City, and Gotham City in a new evil lair on the other side of New York City, the pair is forced to team up with their friends, including the Powerpuff Girls, to stop the super weapon.

Plot
Having overpowered Rex and destroyed his remote time machine to prevent him from escaping to the past, Emmet's self-acceptance causes Rex to fade from existence, and Emmet and Lucy reconcile. Afterwards, Emmet's dream house is rebuilt, and Lucy gifts him an original album of "Everything Is Awesome", revealing that she co-originated the song, much to Emmet's shock.

Five years later, Emmet and Lucy are hailed as heroes of Syspocalypstar by the Syspocalypstarians. They now run a business making everything in the new society awesome, along with their unicorn-cat friend Princess Unikitty, and new friends Prince Puppycorn, Dr. Fox, Hawkodile, Richard, Master Frown, and Brock. Benny now works with his Space Squad—Kenny, Lenny, and Jenny. Batman, along with Batgirl, Robin, and Alfred Pennyworth, now lives with Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi. MetalBeard still lives the pirate life. Emmet and Lucy talk about having kids. Emmet thinks that they would have three children, either it will be three sons or three daughters. Meanwhile, in New York City, Powerpuff Girls Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup spy on a new evil lair called Fisk Industries, run by Kingpin (Wilson Fisk), who is fed up about why the Spider-Gang stopped him from getting back Vanessa and Richard Fisk using the Super Collider. He threatens to destroy the LEGO universe by shooting gigantic fiery boulders from a newly invented Super Weapon to force its inhabitants to evacuate. The Powerpuff Girls manage to send the Syspocalypstarians several notes about them coming to Syspocalypstar as “emergency newcomers”.

Back at Syspocalypstar, Lucy, Unikitty, Puppycorn, Dr. Fox, Hawkodile, Richard, Master Frown, and Brock force Emmet to join them in a speed dating activity where Emmet meets fourth Powerpuff Girl Blisstina Francesca Francia Mariam Alicia Utonium who deems him incompatible. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup meet Emmet at his house and convince him to assemble a great army of Master Builders to build an alliance with the Girls. They recruit Lucy, Unikitty, Puppycorn, Dr. Fox, Hawkodile, Richard, Master Frown, Brock, Benny, Kenny, Lenny, Jenny, MetalBeard, Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi, Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, Superman, Green Lantern, the Wonder Women, Cyborg, Flash, Aquaman, Shazam, Bliss, Sweet Mayhem, Ice Cream Cone, Chad, Amber, Zebe, the Duplo aliens, Chocolate Bar, Balthazar, Celeste, Susan, Banarnar, Flaminga, Eight, Archimedes, Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Nya, Wu, Koko, Garmadon, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Loki, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Spider-Gwen, Peni Parker, Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, Miles Morales, Ant-Man, the Wasp, Iron Fist, Black Panther, Deadpool, Wolverine, War Machine, Star Lord, Rocket, Groot, Drax, Gamora, Mantis, Nebula, Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Falcon, Magneto, Storm, Pepper Potts, Colossus, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Nick Fury, and Maria Hill. After a secret meeting in the crown of the Statue of Liberty, Emmet announces their plan to stop the Super Weapon to everyone.

As the team prepare to travel to New York City by ship, Emmet assures the civilians that they do not need to evacuate. Once there, Nick Fury brings in 50 4x4s and they drive all the way to Fisk Industries. Garmadon confesses that he and Koko broke up. Emmet insists on fighting alone but Lucy, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Bliss, Unikitty, Puppycorn, Hawkodile, Dr. Fox, Richard, Master Frown, and Brock follow them instead. They intrude the base from the mouth of the weapon only to be captured by the guards. The other team members disguise themselves as Riot and grab a key card to get into the base. Their disguise rips apart, but not before they drive the guards to a breakdance battle, allowing them to escape.

Back in Syspocalypstar, the Loud kids (except Lincoln and Lola) set up the hot air balloon. Princess of Mewni Star Butterfly tells its civilians that the kids will be on the lookout of the giant boulders that come from the Super Weapon. They get into the hot air balloon, and they fly off. They think of a plan to know where the boulders are coming from.

As Emmet, Lucy, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Bliss, Unikitty, Puppycorn, Hawkodile, Dr. Fox, Richard, Master Frown, and Brock are all tied up in ropes, Kingpin tells them his plan to fire giant boulders not just at Syspocalypstar, Gotham City, and Ninjago City, but also at Middle Zealand and the Old West. He then demonstrates the power of his newly upgraded cannon in a show of force.

Elsewhere, the Loud kids suddenly see the boulders being fired at Syspocalypstar, Gotham City, and Ninjago City. All of Syspocalypstar's civilians run around panicking, but snowman Olaf leads the Syspocalypstarians to Elsa's Ice Palace, which is a place for safety, with the help of Marshmallow and the Snowgies. In Gotham City, Mayor McCaskill tells all of Gotham's civilians as well as its criminals to evacuate and head for Blüdhaven. In Ninjago City, the Mayor of Ninjago tells the city's civilians to head safely to the Temple of Fragile Foundations where the Secret Ninja Force tried to find the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon.

In the aftermath, Star Butterfly climbs from the ruins. Minions Otto, Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, Owen Grady, velociraptor Blue, Lincoln Loud, Lola Loud, and unicorn Donny, tell her that the boulders that came from the Super Weapon attacked them. Feeling guilty about the destruction of Syspocalypstar, Star gathers together the rescue team to go help the Master Builder-Powerpuff Girl Alliance, Master-Building another flying vehicle, now with an internal motor similar to Ultrakatty's. Once they do, they fly over to New York, and land near the base. When they get near the guards, they beat them up. They meet up with the team, and ask where Emmet and his friends are. Benny points to the exact same room where they had been tied up in ropes.

Emmet, who regrets not telling the citizens of Syspocalypstar to evacuate, admits his selfish desire to be liked by everyone to his friends, who comfort him. Blossom also tells Emmet about what happened to their Professor when the Super Weapon attacked Townsville. The Powerpuff Girls free them all using one of Dr. Fox’s inventions, reuniting with the now extended team. Emmet gives up his leadership to the Girls, who establish a plan to destroy the weapon. The Powerpuff Girls, Emmet, and Lucy put themselves into a boulder (in which Blossom turns it into glass), and they roll it down the long, spiraling ammunition of Kingpin's Super Weapon, with their allies working to sever the track by reaching and pulling a particular swing so that the six would fly off and crush the cannon, but the plan fails and the entire team are confronted by all the guards and Marvel Villains, giving Kingpin a chance to fire the weapon.

Suddenly, Rex Dangervest and the Trolls Poppy, Branch, Biggie, Cooper, Guy Diamond, and Tiny Diamond with the Raptors arrive to stop and confront Kingpin and his crew, and he reveals to them that Thanos was working for him after the incident about why he wiped out half of the universe. While Kingpin is distracted, Dr. Fox tells Batman to tie up the weapon using some thread, which catches and decelerates the boulders after Kingpin fires them. As the thread breaks, the Loud kids and the other Minions (who used their plane to escape the prison) passing by New York City, grasp it. The boulders slide back into the weapon, destroying the whole base. Everyone escapes, and MetalBeard survives by protecting the Powerpuff Girls from being burned by transforming into his heavy metal motor trike. Garmadon proposes to Koko and promises not to let her go again.

Afterwards, Emmet and his friends, along with the civilians of Syspocalypstar, Gotham City, Ninjago City, and New York City celebrate their victory, and merge the four cities as well as Unikingdom, Frown Town, Wakanda, Asgard, the Old West, Middle Zealand, 1980s Space Era, and Action Forest to create the city of New Bricksburg, with the Statue of Liberty rising up again and returning to its regular color. Garmadon and Koko get married at the “New Bricksburg” version of Warner Bros. Studios, with Emmet as the chief witness, Daffy Duck as the flower boys, and Master Wu as the man of honor. Everyone praises Emmet and Lucy for saving the LEGO Universe, but Emmet credits the Powerpuff Girls and the team for doing so, unveiling a Mount Rushmore-style monument as well as a statue of the late Vitruvius to them, and to their surprise, being even more beloved for his honesty and selflessness. The civilians of New Bricksburg have a huge party with Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” playing, while Emmet and Lucy take the Powerpuff Girls to their house, now rebuilt to look like their old one and located next to Unikitty’s Castle. Emmet and Lucy agree to keep saving the universe no matter what.

In a mid-credits scene, in the same Warner Bros. studio, after the Master Builders end their party (which actually took place near the cinema), Young Gru asks them if they could come see the premiere of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and that Emmet and the team are waiting at the cinema lobby. The Minions agree as they enter the theater. Meanwhile, Mojo Jojo and Princess Morbucks arrive, wondering what they missed.

In a post-credits scene, which is a cut-down scene of The Powerpuff Girls Movie 2: Generations, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup discover that the portal had been malfunctioning, as it brings in the 1998 Powerpuff Girls, who tell them that nothing is what is seems in all the dimensions, and that the Giant Fishballoon is coming back to destroy them. The Girls agree to help their past selves by telling the Professor what happened, as the post-credits scene ends.

Development
During an interview with Moviefone on February 7, 2019, Chris Pratt (Emmet's voice actor) expresses his idea for a potential third film in the series.

However, following The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part's disappointing box office returns, Warner Bros. allowed their film rights with LEGO to expire. LEGO has later entered in negotiations with Universal Pictures for a new first-look deal. While the original characters and film are owned by Warner Bros. Pictures, Universal Pictures will develop and distribute future LEGO films (such as own films and spin-off). Dan Lin is expected to remain as producer through his company Rideback. In April 2020, the deal with Universal was set for a 5-year film deal.

On March 2022, AT&T and Comcast were in plans to merge WarnerMedia with NBCUniversal to form a new company under the new name "WarnerUniversal", after AT&T decided to cancel the WarnerMedia/Discovery merger, which would have been "Warner Bros. Discovery", originally going to merge in mid-2022, but was eventually cancelled by March 2022. The deal was expected to close on January 29, 2024. AT&T owned 50% of the new company, and Comcast owned the other 50%. This caused The LEGO Movie franchise to move back to Warner Bros., thus leaving Universal Pictures except for an untitled LEGO Movie film, which is now the only film in the franchise to be distributed by Universal Pictures.

As a result of The LEGO Movie 3: A Powerpuff Adventure starting production, Cartoon Network Studios even brought back the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls on May 20, 2022 for three more seasons (Seasons 4, 5, and 6), making this reboot conclude after six seasons (as well as the musical movie), the same amount as the 1998 series. All cringe and toilet humor in this reboot were permanently removed from the series (meaning no more twerking or outdated memes from Season 4 onward), as musical numbers, a lot of heart, and heartwarming messages were put in to replace the cringe and toilet humor previously used in Seasons 1-3. Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, and Natalie Palamides will improve on their voice acting on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. The trio in Seasons 4-6 the reboot will be added up to four, with Blisstina being the newest member of the group.

Starting with Season 4, the animators stopped using the digital ink and paint method for animating the episodes, resulting in traditional animation no longer being used for the series. Starting with Season 4, the animation studio for the series switched over to have 2 animation studios, which are Copernicus Studios and Bardel Entertainment in Canada, and as a result of that, the animators at the 2 aforementioned studios started animating the series using 2D and 3D computer graphics. The characters were 2D animated with Toon Boom Harmony, while the rest was animated in 3D with CG Maya (backgrounds, vehicles, trees, robots, etc). Soon after, Copernicus Studios provided all the 2D animation with Toon Boom Harmony, and Bardel Entertainment also provided some additional 2D animation with Toon Boom Harmony, but provided all the 3D computer graphics/CGI with CG Maya.

All of the 3D computer graphics/CGI has been made in the same style, same frame rate, and same lighting as Universal Pictures and Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022). In addition, the characters were sometimes given the same shading as the backgrounds to further match it. The frame rate for the 2D animation has also been changed to match the same as with the CGI animation.

In some scenes where it would be too hard to put in the 2D animated characters into the CGI animated vehicles, CGI versions have been put in to substitute the 2D animated versions of the characters.

Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup also improved on their singing during these seasons. The fourth season will be in 2022, the fifth season will be from 2023-2024, and the sixth and final season will be in 2024.

Starting with Season 4, the series would have a new theme song which was sung by Blossom (Amanda Leighton), Bubbles (Kristen Li), Buttercup (Natalie Palamides), and Bliss (Olivia Olson). It was also used for the end credits in the film.

Starting with these seasons, Blossom redeemed herself back to being an intelligent, dutiful, and kind-hearted leader and abandon her “stereotypical, bratty, and mean-spirited” personality, Bubbles redeemed herself back to being the sweet and cheerful member of the four, while also having a kind heart and a passion to grow up to become old and wise, and of course, she will abandoned her “psychotic, annoying, goody-two-shoes crybaby” personality, Buttercup abandoned her “complete bully” personality, banish all “butt-jokes” from her life forever, and redeemed herself into a tough but friendly model to her family and friends, and Blisstina appeared in more episodes of the reboot in Seasons 4-6, as she resigned as the member of the Universal Protection Bureau so that she will spend more time with her sisters, fight crime, and save Townsville alongside them; she also attended school with them.

One of the other additions to this reboot is that Blisstina has her own bedroom, with a front doorway that leads straight to the Girls’ bedroom. The original songs for Seasons 4, 5, and 6 of the 2016 iteration of The Powerpuff Girls were written by The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part songwriter Jon Lajoie. The soundtrack album for the reboot was available on WaterTower Music. Seasons 4-6 also marked the return of Sedusa and Ms. Bellum, with Jennifer Hale and Jennifer Martin reprising their roles respectively. As a result of being renewed for three more seasons, the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls aired on the Cartoon Network channel again.

The first episode of Season 4 focused on Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Professor Utonium giving Bliss a new room, after she quit the UPB to spend time with her family, while the second episode focused on Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Bliss attending space camp for two weeks, and Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup explain to Bliss the events of Home, Sweet Homesick, while the four try the park attractions and carnival rides, and the third episode featured Ms. Bellum returning to Townsville after she cut her vacation days short due to missing him.

Danny Cooksey, Greg Cipes, and James Arnold Taylor voiced Brick, Boomer, and Butch respectively in Seasons 4-6, The LEGO Movie 3: A Powerpuff Adventure, and The Powerpuff Girls Movie 2: Generations. These seasons were in tandem with the live-action reboot of The Powerpuff Girls on The CW.

Seasons 4-6 had 1 or 2 songs for each episode. If it’s a double length episode, then it had 3 songs. Each song lasted 1 minute and 45 seconds. The narrator also came back in Seasons 4, 5, and 6.

Starting with Season 4, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup went back to wearing their nightgowns for sleepwear. In addition, Bliss also had her own nightgown for sleepwear in light purple. She also had her own swimsuit.

The new theme song, intro, and end credits were updated to have Bliss in it. Plus, Craig McCracken came back to Cartoon Network to join the 2016 collaborators. The extended 2 minute and 13 second version of the new theme song, which is sung by Blossom (Amanda Leighton), Bubbles (Kristen Li), Buttercup (Natalie Palamides), and Bliss (Olivia Olson), as well as used for Seasons 4, 5, and 6, was also included in the end credits of The Powerpuff Girls Movie 2: Generations, after “American Girl” by Bonnie McKee and “Me & My Girls” by Fifth Harmony. The title for The Powerpuff Girls (2016) new theme song, sung by Blossom (Amanda Leighton), Bubbles (Kristen Li), Buttercup (Natalie Palamides), and Bliss (Olivia Olson), is titled “Ready, Steady, Go!”, which is a parody of “Ready, Steady, Go!” from the 2021 Teletubbies album, “Ready, Steady, Go!”. The end credits song is “Best Friend Song” performed by Sharon Ballad.

On May 3, 2023, Jared Stern was hired to write the sequel, along with Michelle Morgan. On May 12, 2023, Deadline reported that animation co-director Chris McKay would direct the sequel with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as producers. On June 3, 2023, it was reported that McKay wanted the sequel to be a crossover. On July 28, 2023, it was reported that Chris Pratt wanted to return to reprise his role as Emmet. It was also reported that Will Arnett might return to reprise his role as Batman.

It was reported that Lord and Miller had signed on to write The LEGO Movie 3. On October 30, it was announced that Australia-based animation studio Animal Logic was in talks to produce the next four LEGO films (though the deal was not finalized at the time) and the New South Wales government would make financial contributions to all the films. On November 12, during an interview with BBC News, Lord and Miller revealed that there would be more characters from the Warner Bros., Warner Animation Group, DC Comics, Hanna-Barbera, and Cartoon Network library featured in the film, as well as the ones from the previous four LEGO movies.

On December 24, 2023, Star vs. the Forces of Evil creator and CalArts alumna Daron Nefcy was announced as the film's director. Miller announced that the first draft of the script was completed. Production started in Canada on March 31, 2022. In an interview with Collider, producer Dan Lin confirmed that Lord & Miller were rewriting the script during production. Also Lin said that the sequel was going to be a crossover with the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls.

The production of the film took advantage of Animal Logic's latest update to its trace renderer, Glimpse, to improve on-screen detail and depth-of-field.

Writing
The LEGO Movie 3 's narrative starts after the events of the The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, just as Finn and Bianca reconcile and start playing together. The animation team explored multiple design styles for each playset that is within the LEGO version of the City of Townsville, and developed new animation approaches for some of these styles, including using fewer frames as in inbetweening.

According to Lord and Miller, each LEGO Movie takes place in the imagination of a child. Miller explained that “we wanted to try and tell a more complicated and sophisticated version of that story, where we had two different imaginations coming together. And part of the fun of the movie is trying to figure out what’s happening in the world of the LEGO."

Casting
Voice actors and actresses from the last four films in the franchise, such as Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Stephanie Beatriz, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, Ralph Fiennes, Alison Brie, Tiffany Haddish, Charlie Day, Nick Offerman, Dave Franco, Zach Woods, Fred Armisen, Michael Peña, Kumail Nanjani, Abbi Jacobson, Ben Schwartz, Richard Ayoade, Noel Fielding, Will Ferrell, Channing Tatum, and Jonah Hill returned to voice their roles, with Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, Natalie Palamides, Olivia Olson, Tom Kenny, Jennifer Hale, Jennifer Lopez, Roger L. Jackson, and Haley Mancini joining the cast.
