Hollywood-based agency Battery launched a new spot promoting Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s LEGO Dimensions game, entitled “Endless Awesome.”
The spot champions the game as an imagination expanding experience for children, which is a bit odd considering that it in many ways supplants imagination as the thing that brings LEGO to life for kids. Not that too many young LEGO fans will mind, as they’re likely excited by the idea of seeing their favorite figures come to life onscreen. The imagination angle then, solidified by the “You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Imagination” tagline, is more to convince parents that the title is one they can feel good about picking up for their kids.
“Endless Awesome” features many stars from the LEGO universe, including those from franchises such as The Simpsons, Batman and Scooby Doo, in addition to characters from The LEGO Movie (actually Batman falls into both those camps). We’re not sure it will succeed at convincing parents that this is anything but a continual drain on their wallets (figures sold separately, obviously), but it should get kids excited enough to bug them endlessly for the game.
