LEGO’nun kendi içinden çıkardığı, yani üçüncü parti bir fikri mülk içermeyen yeni temalarının çoğu pek başarılı olamamış ve beklenenden çok daha kısa bir sürede kaldırılmıştı. (Hidden Side, VIDIYO ve DOTS)
Bugün ise, bu temalarla aynı kaderi paylaşmamasını umduğumuz ve (herhangi bir LEGO DREAMZzz teması duyuruldu. Bu tema, özetle, okul arkadaşları Mateo, Izzie, Cooper, Logan ve Zoey’nin gizli bir örgüte katılıp rüyaların yer aldığı Dream World’e yolculuk etmek ve zalim Nightmare King’i yenmeyi öğrenmek için hayal güçlerini kullanırken yaşadıkları maceraları anlatıyor!
Bu temadaki setlerin dikkat çekici noktası, gündelik yaşamdaki farklı şeylerin, rüya aleminde (Türkçe çevirisi nasıl olur kestirmek güç :) ) hayal gücü kadar sınırsız bir şekilde değişime uğramasına odaklanması. Örneğin, bir okul otobüsü bir rokete dönüşebiliyor.
Ayrıca, basın açıklamasında, bu temanın arkasında ne kadar ciddi bir kitle araştırması yapıldığına da değinilmiş. Hiçbir şey şansa bırakılmamış ve temanın lansmanı da oldukça stratejik bir biçimde planlanmış. Tema duyurusu ile birlikte 15 Mayıs’ta temanın online dizisinin ilk sezonu yayına başlayacak ve setler de Ağustos’ta satışa çıkacak.
Bununla birlikte, temada hiçbir şekilde cinsiyet ayrımının bulunmadığını da belirtebiliriz, setler oldukça geniş bir kitleye hitap edecek çeşitlilikte tasarlanmış. Yetişkinler de mutlaka kendilerine uygun bir şeyler bulabilecektir.

CALLING ALL DREAMERS
The LEGO Group brings to life the limitless creative power of children’s dreams
in its new theme, LEGO® DREAMZzz™
Step into the dream world with LEGO® DREAMZzz™, the first theme from the LEGO Group to be truly inspired by the way children dream, after research finds two in three children globally say dreaming helps them be more creative.
LEGO® DREAMZzz™ launches worldwide on May 15th, with new content episodes airing globally, and more exciting episodes and products to follow in August
The LEGO Group is also launching a world-first opportunity to appoint a group of children as its first ever Chief Dream Creators, who will use the creativity and imagination of their dreams to inspire the company
May 2nd 2023, 14:00 CET: The LEGO Group has today revealed LEGO® DREAMZzz™, an all-new theme that brings to life the creativity of children’s dreams through an epic new content series and product range.
New global research of over 23,000 children has found seven in 10 (69%) are experiencing complex emotions, such as stress or loneliness, in their day-to-day lives, with one in four (24%) citing events in the world or on social media as causes. However, sleep experts flag that dreams can play a key role in helping children process complex emotions and engage their imaginations. Children surveyed agree, with two thirds reporting that dreams are important and help them be more creative during the day (68%).
This passion for creativity has been brought to life in LEGO® DREAMZzz™, with the LEGO Group road-testing the content and toys with thousands of children from across the globe ahead of the new TV show launching May 15th. The launch will be followed by an accompanying product range, creating an incredible entertainment and play experience that puts children in the imagination-powered driving seat.
Step Into the Dream World: Introducing LEGO® DREAMZzz™
The LEGO® DREAMZzz™ series follows the adventures of school friends, Mateo, Izzie, Cooper, Logan and Zoey, as they join a secret agency and learn to use the power of imagination to journey into the Dream World – and learn to defeat the tyrannical Nightmare King!
LEGO® DREAMZzz™ will launch with 10 episodes on May 15th and be accompanied by a brand-new product range and further episodes from August 2023.
“LEGO® DREAMZzz™ is our very first concept that celebrates the wondrous world of dreaming and explores what happens when dreams become real, ordinary kids become extraordinary and creativity is a superpower!” said Cerim Manovi, Creative Director for LEGO® DREAMZzz™. “We want children to feel empowered to bring their wildest dreams to life and revel in the true force of their creative imaginations while dreaming – and this is just the beginning!”
Global Research Shows Importance of Dreaming for Creativity
LEGO® DREAMZzz™ was developed by the LEGO Group alongside in-depth global research of children aged 6-12 years old from 29 different countries. The survey looked at children’s imaginations, the psychology of dreams and their importance in processing emotions, problem-solving and the importance of play for creative experimentation.
The research revealed of those experiencing complex emotions, such as stress or loneliness, almost one in five (22%) report having more nightmares as a result. More than half of children (55%) say nightmares affect the rest of their day, including school, where the dream and real-worlds can evidently collide.
In fact, 63% report that the time they spend playing impacts their dreams. Most children (86%) experience positive emotions whilst dreaming, with many reporting they benefit from the after-effects once they’re awake. Around two thirds (68%) of children saying that happy dreams help them to be more creative in the daytime and almost the same amount (64%) think of ideas for when they’re awake.
Working with the LEGO Group on the research, psychologist and behavioural sleep expert Dr Shelby Harris, said; “Kids are natural dreamers and experimenters but as they get older, societal pressures begin to confine them and limit their imaginations. Dreaming is a universal phenomenon generally welcomed by children across the globe. With more stress and demands in their daily lives, encouraging free play and creativity is important in today’s world. The research has clearly shown that kids that have access to free play time increases their frequency of dreams and as a result makes them feel happier and more imaginative. It’s great to see content like LEGO® DREAMZzz™, which shows kids how the stuff of our dreams can be used in the real world to help them reach their full creative potential.”
Apply Now: Join the LEGO Group’s Team Of Chief Dream Creators!
To celebrate the launch of LEGO® DREAMZzz™, the LEGO Group will launch a world-first opportunity for children to become a Chief Dream Creator. The chosen participants will be flown to Denmark, home of the LEGO Group, to take part in several LEGO® DREAMZzz™ workshops.
As a Chief Dream Creator, the children’s role will be to champion the creativity of dreams within the company and spread the positive creative aspects dreaming can have for young people around the world.
Children aged between 6-12 years old will be encouraged to submit their own dream creation – a picture of either a LEGO build they’ve made themselves or a drawing – showing a creature or vehicle they have dreamt of that incorporates brick building. Their dream creation should be accompanied by a short description relaying what their creation is called, what it can do, and why it excited them in their dream.
Entry officially opens on May 20th to June 20th, and more information can be found at LEGO.com/dreamzzz.
