Update: 7pm Eastern, 6pm Central according to the Cartoon Network’s website.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week I mentioned<\/a> that the LEGO Store calendars showed an event for January 15, 2010 called LEGO Atlantis: The Movie, on the Cartoon Network that is set in the LEGO Atlantis theme<\/a>, here in the US:<\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Somebody contacted me asking about exact times, and I poked around a bit since I was really curious as well. January 15 is a Friday, and on that day, there are at least two other shows from LEGO-related licenses – Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Ben 10: Alien Force. On a couple of cable TV schedules, From 7:00 – 7:30pm Central Time, there is a gap in the programming with the words “To Be Announced”. Neither Ben 10 or Clone Wars is around that time (they are both later).<\/p>\n

A quick check of TVGuide.com shows:<\/p>\n

\nLego Atlantis \tCARTOON \tFri, Jan 15 7:00 PM
\nLego Atlantis \tCARTOON \tSat, Jan 16 9:30 AM\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am not sure if that is the Central or Eastern time zone. <\/p>\n

It does seem that everybody involved is being pretty tight-lipped about it and the only thing we really have is this plot outline from the calendar:<\/p>\n

….join the Atlantis Deep Sea Salvage crew in their thrilling search for the Lost City of Atlantis<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A search on the Cartoon Network site doesn’t turn up anything Atlantis-related and their TV schedule doesn’t show that far out (we should know more this coming Friday).<\/p>\n

Checking Atlantis.LEGO.com<\/a>, it has been heavily updated over the past few days or week. They even have some movies and TV commercials up (see this link<\/a>) and some of the stuff in the online photo album does appear that it could be from the movie.<\/p>\n

This is pretty exciting – I’ve speculated about how big Atlantis will be<\/a> back in November of last year and there are still Atlantis sets coming out that we haven’t seen too much of in the stores – the Atlantis 8079 Shadow Snapper is showing up at the online LEGO Store and in Brickset’s 2010 Atlantis listing<\/a>, there are these entries:<\/p>\n

8076 Deep Sea Striker
\n8077 Atlantis Exploration HQ
\n8078 Portal Of Atlantis<\/p>\n

There isn’t much information on those yet, but they make a lot of sense. The Portal of Atlantis is, I’m guessing, what I was talking about when I mentioned a Shark Temple<\/a> back in November as well, and some kind of Exploration HQ makes sense. You look at the previous aquatic\/underwater theme, the Aqua Raiders from 2007, and they had a headquarters set that was over 800 pieces. A lot of people felt that theme should have been expanded more and it is clear that a few of the Aqua Raiders sets inspired the Atlantis designers. I would even speculate that some of the same people were involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
