Body: <p>Nowadays, it's pretty common for TV shows and films to be released by film studios in agreement with The LEGO Group and tying in to current LEGO set themes - famous examples include the recent films (The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part), LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles, the Legends of Chima TV series, and Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu, all of which were released after 2010.</p>
  
  <p>What is the <em>earliest</em> television or film production that was officially tied in with a LEGO set or theme or with LEGO bricks in general? The earliest that I was able to find was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_and_Friends" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Edward and Friends</a> from 1987 that showcased the Fabuland theme, but LEGO was already decades old by then. Was there anything before that?</p>
