A Minecraft Movie's first weekend in theaters put up a record-breaking box office showing, setting it on track to become the biggest video game movie of all time. An overwhelming reaction to the "Chicken Jockey" scene has been the biggest trend to come out of that.
An interesting thing about this viral scene is that LEGO was on top of this trend before the movie came out. Two Minecraft Movie LEGO sets were released at the beginning of March, and one of these is a build around the entire Chicken Jockey scene. The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring set includes minifigures of Jason Momoa and Jack Black's characters, as well as a baby zombie riding a chicken.
Where to Buy the Minecraft Movie LEGO Sets
Alongside the Chicken Jockey set, LEGO also released The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set. While it's not enjoying the same level of viral success as the Chicken Jockey, it does include more minifigures. Both of these sets were released as official tie-ins to the film, but they join a much larger LEGO Minecraft line of sets that has become very popular with kids in recent years; two other new Minecraft options also joined the collection at the beginning of March 2025.
