The LEGO Disney Princess subtheme "The Little Mermaid" is based on Disney's 1989 animated film "The Little Mermaid." This subtheme features sets such as Ariel's Amazing Treasures, Ariel and the Magical Spell, and Ariel's Seaside Castle. These sets capture key locations and moments from the film, including Ariel's underwater grotto filled with human artifacts, Ursula's lair, and Prince Eric's seaside castle. "The Little Mermaid" follows the story of Ariel, a mermaid princess who dreams of living on land and falls in love with Prince Eric. Through these sets, fans can reenact scenes from Ariel's journey, her encounters with Ursula the sea witch, and her ultimate transformation to live happily ever after with Eric.
2014 LEGO Sets
2014 brought The LEGO Movie to theaters, propelling LEGO to unprecedented mainstream success and spawning its own theme. LEGO Star Wars celebrated 15 years, while Ninjago—originally planned for retirement—was extended following strong sales and a hit TV series. The first minifigure-scale Minecraft sets appeared, and LEGO The Simpsons launched with The Simpsons House and a dedicated minifigure series. Other additions included LEGO Juniors and the digital-physical LEGO Fusion, while a fan-designed Ghostbusters Ecto-1 commemorated the film’s 30th anniversary. Galaxy Squad, The Lone Ranger, and The Lord of the Rings ended during this period.
