The theme featured anthropomorphic animal characters and provided a storytelling aspect. This year also saw the expansion of the LEGO Space theme, with additional sets being added. Furthermore, the LEGO Castle theme was launched, offering medieval-themed sets with castles, knights, and related elements. These developments in 1979 contributed to the diversification of LEGO's product offerings.
