Fun fact: Tommy Andreasen stated that "It was fun making a small, contained Ninjago story" and that The Island was inspired by the setting of King Kong films, the structure of Scooby-Doo, and the story idea of "The Monster of the Misty Lake" (from the Dutch comic series, Douwe Dabbert).A scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was also likely an inspiration.
