Disney has long been a company that has expanded beyond just theme parks and movies. These days, the license is used for many different types of products. You can have Disney Funko Pops, clothes, video games, and Lego sets. That last one is a match made in heaven since Lego themselves are always using major licenses for their products.
So, of course, there was always going to be some Disney ones. And there are not just a few Disney Lego sets. There are many of them based on all sorts of characters, from Disney Princesses to Mickey Mouse. They all come in different sizes and are aimed at specific ages. This is a collection of the best-looking and most interesting ones currently available.
Best Disney Lego Sets
LEGO Disney Twirling Rapunzel
Flynn would find it much easier to climb this platform than the tower
This simple Lego set stars Rapunzel from the Tangled movie alongside her faithful pet chameleon Pascal. She is atop a platform that can be manually turned, allowing the princess to perform a royal twirl. So, it's pretty and interactive.
- Easy and interesting build
- Manual twirl adds an interactive element
- Umbrella and dress combine to make a storage space for the Rapunzel figure
- No space on the platform for Pascal
- Not much to the set
You don't always have to break the bank to get good Disney Lego sets. Twirling Rapunzel is the best example of a set you can get for less than $10. There are similar-priced sets focusing on Elsa and Anna from Frozen, yet those are more basic. The ability to manually twirl this one adds an extra enjoyable element. This also adds extra intrigue to the build since you're making the mechanism that allows Rapunzel to spin. Don't worry, it isn't a complicated contraption, but it makes for a unique building process. On top of that, the set is simply very pretty.
LEGO Disney Duos
It's about time Pua and Hei Hei got some attention
Disney features a lot of great character duos in its movies, and this product pays homage to a few of the best. Pairs from Moana, Pocahontas, Finding Nemo, and Beauty and the Beast are included in the set. They all look great and are a good size to play with.
- Features characters that aren't typically in Lego sets
- Look a lot like their movie counterparts
- Can be used for play or display
- Nemo feels a little out-of-place since he's more of a major character than the rest
- Squirt and Nemo are hardly the most iconic Disney duo, so their inclusion is odd
One of the elements that make the best Disney animated movies so fantastic is the main character's sidekicks. This Lego set highlights some of the best ones from Moana, Pocahontas, Finding Nemo, and Beauty And The Beast. What's truly wonderful about this product is these side characters aren't just mini-figures that are part of a larger set. They are the set, which allows for a lot more detail to be put into the characters. Plus, once they're built, they're very versatile, as they can be used for either display or play.
LEGO Disney The Little Mermaid Story Book
There are literally two sides to this story book
Celebrate the 2023 Little Mermaid movie with this compact and detailed Lego set. It's shaped like a book that opens and closes. And it's split into two separate halves. One side revolves around Ariel and Prince Eric, while the other is Ursula's lair.
- Plenty of small details
- Very portable
- Adorable figures
- Not the most exciting build
- Sebastian is a lot less detailed than the other figures
Lego offers many Disney sets for those that don't want their Lego to take up entire shelves. This Little Mermaid Story Book is the best of the smaller variety. This is because, despite being small, it offers an impressive amount of detail. And it doesn't just focus on the heroes, such as Ariel and Prince Eric. Ursula also gets some love in this set, as half of it is dedicated to her. The best part of the set, though, is that it folds into a plastic book, which keeps it compact and easy to put away. After all, it's just the length of a regular book.
LEGO Ideas Winnie The Pooh Building Set
A treehouse filled with friends and honey
It will be hard to find a bigger or more detailed Winnie The Pooh Lego set than this one from the Ideas range. The set is a large treehouse and comes with all the main Winnie The Pooh characters, from Piglet to Tigger. It also contains plenty of accessories and many small details.
- Immensely detailed
- Accurate-looking figures
- Looks good on display
- Expensive
- The inside part is small, considering the price
Lego sets aren't just for kids. There are a bunch of specifically designed for adults to build, whether to put on display or let their kids play with. Out of those currently available, the Winnie The Pooh set is one of the best for the over 18 collectors. For one, it's based on a franchise that has been around so long that many adults grew up with it and now have a deep appreciation for the Winnie The Pooh crew. Also, the set is very detailed and visually appealing. So, it's a nice set to have on a shelf. Plus, the building process is both challenging and enjoyable.
LEGO Disney Celebration Train
All aboard!
Lego and trains are a perfect combination. This one celebrates several of Disney's most iconic movies and characters. Each one gets its own carriage/float, which results in a simple and colorful set perfect for the young ones.
- A surprising amount of detail on each carriage
- Good choice of movies and characters
- Easy for kids to build
- Minnie's station is overly simple
- Doesn't function like a traditional toy train as it doesn't go on tracks
The Disney Celebration Train truly celebrates some classic Disney productions in Moana, Peter Pan, and Toy Story, with Mickey Mouse leading the way. The train looks very stunning with its great choice of color and nice details. What makes it even more impressive is that it's very simple. There are only 200 pieces, and each float is simple to put together, which is why it's a good choice for kids. And the little ones are sure to enjoy playing with the nice-looking mini-figures that come with it, as well as the train itself.
LEGO Disney Princess Enchanted Journey
Who needs cars when you're a Princess?
Forget about castles. The Disney Princess Enchanted Journey Lego set is about the vehicles that Cinderella, Jasmine, and Rapunzel use to get around. So, it features the three princesses and each of their specific choice of vehicle. It makes for a unique and colorful product.
- Inclusion of great vehicles
- Choice of Princesses
- Bold colors
- The vehicles don't look like their movie and tv show counterparts
- Not the most interesting build
Unsurprisingly, Lego has plenty of Disney Princess sets available. The Princess Enchanted Journey stands above the rest for multiple reasons. For starters, it focuses on some of the best Disney Princess movies, including Cinderella, Aladdin, and Tangled. On top of that, while most Disney Princess Lego sets focus on castles, this one is all about vehicles, which makes for a nice change. It helps that the horse-drawn carriage, magic carpet, and hot-air balloon look brilliant, as do the Cinderella, Jasmine, and Rapunzel figures. They're all perfect to play with, too.
LEGO Disney Moana's Wayfinding Boat
A mother and daughter adventure
At the end of Moana, the titular character is sailing her bright and shiny new boat. It looks even brighter and shinier in Lego form, as this set proves. The product is a fairly accurate recreation of the ship and contains both a Moana figure and one of her mother, Sina.
- Contains vibrant colors
- Small enough to play with
- Includes a cute little dolphin
- The less iconic Moana boat
- The inclusion of Sina is odd since she isn't really one of the main characters in the movie
Moana is one of the best Disney movies in recent history, and Moana's Wayfinding Boat helps pay homage to the flick. Selecting this boat from the ending of the movie over the one she uses for most of the tale is questionable. However, this vessel works better as a Lego set as there is more to it. And the boat looks fantastic in this set, from the sail to the vibrant colors. What it also has over many other movie-based sets is that it's small and lightweight, meaning it works well as a toy.
LEGO Disney Castle
Still smaller and cheaper than a real castle
Lego sets don't get much more extravagant than this large Disney Castle. It's immensely detailed and comes with several Princess and Prince figure combinations. Technically, it's big enough to be used as a kid's playset, but it will likely be too taxing for a child to put together. In fact, building it is a full project, even for adults.
- Visually stunning
- Great range of mini-figures
- Incredibly detailed
- Calling it expensive is a significant understatement
- Time-consuming to put together
Out of all the Disney Lego sets currently available, the Disney Castle is the most impressive. This is why it's so expensive, but if you're a collector and have the money, it's worth the purchase. No other large set can match this castle in terms of visual appeal or level of detail. And that is just the outside. The inside is filled with many references and a few interactive elements. So, it's like a full playset made out of Lego. However, if you're more into displaying your Lego, it's perfect for that, too, as it looks magnificent on a table or shelf.
