Heartlake City Movie Theatre Reviews
Heartlake Times
“This visually stunning theater set will go great alongside the many HLC shops and restaurants. Although we had an outdoor drive-in theater in the Drifting Diner, it's great to get a proper cinema with seats. Mia's Cube was also nice for that small of a build, and fans really... More liked it -- so I'm sure they will like this set too. The added functions will surely delight the target audience -- yet even AFOLs can gain building skills for interactive ideas and creating modules for MOCs.”

“Those who were hoping that this would be a more complete building will be disappointed. Friends buildings are known for being open, and this set feels much more open than most. For those who are looking to build their own theatre, I think the front of the building is a great... More start, and the seating area is quite comfortable, but some extra work would need to be done for the lobby area.”

LEGO designer notes from Antica Bracanov
“This set was a fun and tricky challenge. We haven't done a cinema in a long time, and our research had shown that kids really want to have a cinema in their LEGO town layout. We have been exploring cinemas before and kids usually liked the theme and architecture but the play... More aspect needed more action and interaction. The model has a façade that opens and reveals the interior, there is a projection room upstairs with a projector (with a function) and a big movie screen that can also fit a mobile phone, which is something kids really liked as they "can now watch the movie with the figures".”
