Ninja Never Quit: A Ninjago Musical

Ninja Never Quit: A Ninjago Musical is a multigenre fan-made nonprofit musical retelling of LEGO Ninjago presented as a colored and fully-rendered animatic. It is made by members of the Ninjago community from across the world with team members spanning from California reaching all the way to New Zealand.

The production will be a bit more mature than the original seasons. Seeing as how fans who were children when the first seasons came out have now grown older, we wanted to see what Ninjago would be like, not only if it was a musical, but if it was also aimed towards an older audience. Some of the songs are original compositions while others are vocal covers of iconic leitmotifs/themes in the Ninjago soundtrack.

Synopsis (From Ninjago Wiki): Long ago, the First Spinjitzu Master used the power of the Golden Weapons to create the world of Ninjago. Trained in the legendary art of Spinjitzu by the wise Sensei Wu, a group of young Ninja with mastery over the Elements fight to defend their land against those who wish to conquer it.
