LEGO has been releasing sets based on Disney brands since 1999, including everything from Winnie the Pooh DUPLO sets to the massive Disneyland Castle for adult collectors. If there’s a new Disney or Pixar film hitting theaters or Disney Plus, chances are you can expect at least one new LEGO tie-in. Sets inspired by classic films like Snow White, Frozen and Moana have become a cornerstone of LEGO’s product lineup.

LEGO Icons 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship – A shiny Black Pearl [Review]

Mickey’s Library LEGO fan build hides a trove of Disney Easter eggs

From Princess minidoll playsets to collectible minifigures to 100th anniversary display pieces, Disney and LEGO have built up an impressive catalog of sets referencing blockbusters and deep cuts from the Disney vault. In this delightful scene, titled Mickey’s Library,  builder Candy Bricks arranges dozens of uniquely Disney elements in a cozy tribute to the House of the Mouse. It’s fun to see little bigger tableaus for Snow White and Beauty and the Beast, as well as subtler tributes, like Aladdin’s carpet integrated into the floor by the fireplace. Looks like Mickey even stuffed and mounted one of those troublesome brooms from his Apprentice days to hang above the hearth! How many references can you find?

LEGO expands minifig Disney Villain offerings with Cruella de Vil’s car [News]

It seems that LEGO is on a bit of a 101 Dalmatians kick! With a couple of spotty-dog sets already coming out this month, a follow-up set focusing on the film’s villain has been announced for release in September: 43277 Cruella de Vil’s Car. The set is notable for its minifig scale, when most Disney playsets not targeting 18+ collectors have featured minidolls. The vehicle design is also quite striking, with classic car curves that could broaden its appeal beyond the usual Disney playset audience. In the live-action features and Cruella series, this car was an appropriately-named Panther de Ville, but this version is based on the unnamed roadster from the original 1960s animated feature. Either way, it’s made up of 378 pieces, and will retail for US $49.99 | CAN $64.99 | UK £44.99 when it releases September 1, 2025.

He built the red one

Sybrin Hendrikx is known primarily as a builder of incredible LEGO race cars, and his latest LEGO build is arguably still a hot ride but of a much less terrestrial variety. With this beautiful rendition of the stolen Police Cruiser from Disney’s Lilo and Stitch Sybrin has somehow captured the organic, almost fluid lines of the craft’s elegant yet powerful design, which seems to draw inspiration from sources as diverse as the classic Jaguar E-type roadster and tropical fish. Another thing that Sybrin is know for is the judicious use of custom decals in his creations, used here to great effect.

Stitch's Red police Cruiser

The Police Cruiser’s design is for me a brilliant highlight in the now classic original 2002 animated Disney film, which had a look and feel completely unlike anything from the studio then to-date. So far, the 2025 live-action Lilo and Stitch film looks to be a virtual shot-for-shot remake, meaning no additional screen time for this too-briefly depicted beauty. I guess I will just have to scratch that itch by admiring Sybrin’s “remake” instead.
