Movies

There are currently three BIONICLE movies: BIONICLE: Mask of Light (2003); BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui (2004); and BIONICLE 3: Web of Shadows (2005). These movies help tell the BIONICLE storyline in a much more detailed and realistic way. The movies follow the storyline details which are produced in the Books and Comics, and are all canonical. A fourth BIONICLE movie is due to be released later in 2009 by Universal Studios and made by Tinseltown Toons. Greg Farshtey is in charge of writing the storyline for the movie. Two additional movies by Tinseltown Toons are schedule to be released in 2010 and 2011.

Online Animations

Online movies or animations have always been a tradition and play a great importance in the BIONICLE storyline. Like the movies, the animations show the BIONICLE story in an animated way.

The first animations to be produced were the Bohrok Animations from 2002. They were later followed by the Bohrok-Kal Animations and others, such as the Toa Hordika and the Mask of Light, along with the non-canonical Piraka Online Animations.

There were two short online films, both from the year of 2007. The first was called Barraki: Creeps From the Deep, and the other was about the Toa Mahri and is nicknamed BIONICLE: Toa Mahri. Both movies are canon and it is also the first time which high-quality CGI is imported into the movies. There was also a Singing Squid movie in which a squid sang two scales (joined). In 2008, two more of these were made. One was a 45 second movie introducing the Phantoka line with the new Toa Nuva fighting the Makuta. The other, which was completley unique to the BIONICLE CGI movies, was a 4 minute retrospective that covered the storyline up from 2001, to 2008, to provide info on the Toa Nuva.

Promo Animations

Another tradition of BIONICLE was the use of CGI animations to advertise and promote the sets. Many or all of these were produced by the animation studio Ghost. These often depict the character as interacting in the world of BIONICLE, using their tools or Collectible elements in interesting and exciting ways. This style of animation became less frequent in 2005 and 2006, to the point of having non-canon animations in the latter year.
