Release

An official poster for The Island was revealed on 14 January 2021, which depicted the ninja characters and an armed totem pole.[19] A sneak peak trailer was released on the Lego YouTube channel on 5 February 2021.[20] This was followed by a full length official trailer, which was released on 12 February 2021.[21] A short clip introducing "Twitchy Tim" Timothy Batterson, the main ally, was released on 2 March 2021 on YouTube titled Ninjas Meet Twitchy.[22]

Plot

An expedition led by Misako, Master Wu, Clutch Powers and his assistants goes missing while exploring an uncharted island in the storm belt. The ninja must pick up their trail with the help of Timothy "Twitchy Tim" Batterson. Having journeyed to the island years ago, Tim is still scared to go back due to being struck by lightning twelve times at the island. Reluctantly, he agrees to help. After surviving their journey, the ninja venture to the island, where they discover the abandoned expedition camp.[N 1]

While exploring the island, they unexpectedly befriend a friendly dragon and name it Zippy. They are later ambushed by living stone statues that can channel the ninjas' elemental powers. While trying to escape the stone guardians, Nya, Zane, Kai and Cole are captured by hostile islanders named the Keepers and encounter Misako, Master Wu and Clutch Powers in captivity. Luckily, Lloyd and Tim manage to escape. When the ninja are taken to meet the Keepers' leader, Chief Mammatus, he accuses them of trying to steal an artefact named the Storm Amulet. He tells them that the amulet was pried from the head of a great sea serpent named Wojira, which placed the beast into a deep sleep. For thousands of years, the Keepers have upheld a vow to the First Spinjitzu Master to protect the amulet from Wojira.[N 2]

The ninja are imprisoned, while Jay is taken to an unknown location by the Keepers, who refer to him as "The Gift of Jay". Lloyd finds the Keepers' Village and frees the ninja with the help of Zippy. Meanwhile, Clutch Powers steals the amulet, but the ninja are recaptured. They have to watch Jay being sacrificed by the Keepers to appease the reawakened storm spirit Wojira.[N 3]

However, when Lloyd finds a wooden tooth, he realises that Wojira is fake. When he informs Chief Mammatus, the leader tells him that since Wojira returned, the Keepers have been giving away their treasure to appease her. When Jay reaches a hidden cave along the coast, he discovers that it is a secret hideout for thugs who have escaped from Kryptarium Prison and that Ronin was behind the scheme in order to trick the Keepers into giving him their treasure. While the ninja are battling Ronin's henchmen, Ronin tries to escape but is stopped by Tim, who conquers his fear and crashes into his fake Wojira boat. During the aftermath of the battle, Clutch Powers tries to steal the Storm Amulet, but Nya stops him and the ninja become allies with the Keepers. In the final scene, the real Wojira is sleeping in a temple at the bottom of the ocean with another amulet on her forehead.[N 4]
