<![CDATA[This study examines The LEGO Ninjago Movie as a cultural text that embodies the principles of cultural hybridization in a globalized media landscape. Grounded in Homi Bhabha’s theory of the Third Space, the analysis highlights how the film blends traditional East Asian motifs with Western narrative conventions to construct a hybrid cultural identity. By focusing on the characters of Lloyd and Garmadon, the film presents a nuanced exploration of the tension between individual identity formation and the constraints of inherited cultural roles. The narrative and visual elements create a metaphorical space where diverse cultural elements intersect, critique, and transform one another.
