Hapori Tohu Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 A mysterious listing has appeared on Netflix: Titled LEGO BIONICLE: The Journey to One, there isn't much to see yet apart from the description: "Six legendary heroes find themselves on an epic quest as they harness the power of nature's elements to defeat the forces of evil." My guess is that this is going to be relevant for next year (the page seems to be of rather preliminary character) so it's going to be a few months before we get to see actual content but the fact that the listing exists at all is already great news and raises a lot of questions. Looks like BIONICLE is proving to be successful enough for LEGO to make its first venture into modern streaming channels. Stay tuned for updates. View the full article 8 Quote News Forums Q&A

Lenny7092 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Wow! That's amazing! I can't believe this is happening! I wanna get my Netflex subscription! Anyway, I don't know what it would be about spefically, but I think it is going to be a combination of the webisodes that we've seen, but more extended to turn into some kind of special. If that happens, then I'll saw "I knew it". Just like the Mixels webisodes, when there are webisodes, that means specials. Just my theory. Or maybe, it could be a TV series from the 2016 storyline. Thank about how Ninjago been. Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory!
xccj Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing it's a compilation of the web videos we've seen, that seems on par for LEGO and Netflix. (Because, you know, all those people claimed the short episodes, when added together, equals a longer episode. I wonder if they keep all the title sequences in there too![/sarcasm]) Edited September 30, 2015 by xccj Quote My BZPower Stories Dark Core--Kulagi's Kanoka--A Shadow's Contrivance--Mystery on Keli-Nui--BZ-Koro: To Bring Back Bionicle
Toa Jaton Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 You probably can with the power of the internet,but would it be possible to see whatever this is without bothering to get Netflix? Quote
Irrie Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 This is very interesting. I wonder if they're going to do it in CGI or the cartoon webisode style. Quote bZpOwEr
Rooster Nui Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 This will be the only reason I'll be using Netflix. It's a good thing that other family members of mine share a subscription with each other. I'm excited. Quote

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I'm pretty sure the Gen 1 Bionicle movies are still on Netflix.

Votuko Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Ninjago got a TV show and now it is so successful that LEGO talk about it "becoming an evergreen theme".Is it too much to hope for that BIONICLE could do the same? Both themes have the elemental heroes thing going on (right down to the "Master of Water" being the only female in both teams), so there are similar pull factors. But I worry that Ninjago succeeds because its storyline resists gaining depth (the show's writers don't seem to care about viewers having watched prior episodes, seeing how much core mechanics like the elements have been retconned since the beginning), whereas BIONICLE G1 succeeded precisely because of its detailed and consistent narrative...

It did last ten years. Will the new one achieve the same level of success or longetivity? It's impossible to say, probably not necessarily too much to hope for, though. Constraction is a bit different from other Lego themes, and to be a success it doesn't need to necessarily pull the same kinds of numbers or audience, since it's acknowledged that it's more of a niche thing. I mean, Hero Factory lasted around as much as Ninjago has and it definitely wasn't a success of the same magnitude. If Bionicle does better than HF did (thanks to whatever this turns out to be, or not) it may still last quite a while. Though I mean, HF also had sort of a tv show, so ymmv whether this is a good thing or not. If you're expecting that the new one will start at any point to reach the original's level of complexity I don't think you'll ever be satisfied though. The "detailed and consistent narrative" arguably played a bigger role in ending the line than in prolonging its length. Edited October 1, 2015 by dotcom Quote
MrSciFiGuy Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I need this, and wish this happened when I was a kid with bionicle in 01.

J46 Nui Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Worst case scenario, it is just a repackage of the webisodes (though the new name would be strange).
