Release and legal trouble
The film was in production for a total of 3 years, and once it was completed, it was taken to the Christian Worldview Film Festival, where it was nominated for 3 awards. The film was released on DVD, which could be bought from the Monitogo Studios website and was slated to have distribution in stores, but The LEGO Group threatened legal action, so in 2016, the film was released for free on the internet. The DVD is no longer available for purchase.
