The LEGO Group

The LEGO Group — sometimes called simply LEGO - is a Danish toy producer. It was funded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen and has, since then, produced many LEGO toys, LEGO video games and, most recently LEGO animation movies.

Doctor Who
LEGO initially could not produce Doctor Who sets to due licensing issues, as Character Options made similar products around the same time. However, in February 2014,, a website where users get to vote on potential future LEGO products, accepted Doctor Who submissions. A Doctor Who project attained 10,000 supporters on 13 March 2014, and therefore entered the review phase.

Arthur Parsons of TT Games stated in 2011 that he and the team would love to add LEGO Doctor Who: The Video Game to the list of of their design, should LEGO begin manufacturing Doctor Who toys.

On 4 February 2015 announced that they would create a Doctor Who set, which was released on December 2015. Doctor Who characters also appeared in the video game LEGO Dimensions, with newly recorded audio from Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Michelle Gomez and Nicholas Briggs. Other characters from the franchise had their voices added through archive audio.

Minifigures
LEGO has manufactured minifigures of characters from many franchises throughout the years. Among them, DC Comics Super Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes, Star Wars, Jurassic World and Disney characters.

Video games
The LEGO Group has also produced LEGO video games, most noticeably:
 * LEGO Batman (and it's two sequels)
 * LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 (and it's sequel: LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7)
 * LEGO Indiana Jones (and a sequel)
 * LEGO Star Wars (with two sequels)

Animated movies
Most recently, LEGO began making animated movies with their characters. The first of these was The Lego Movie, which featured original characters as well as characters from other franchises, such as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
