Unless you 1) use the LEGO logo; 2) present the film as official production
of TLC; 3) use LEGO products in the endorsement of something else, TLC has
no right to say what can and can't be done with their products.

I could make a feature length pornographic movie out of LEGO and distribute
it worldwide and they couldn't stop it. Well, I shouldn't say that. They
could quite possibly get some funky judge who would for some reason think
that they have a good case, but there is no legal grounds for them to
prohibit a filmmaker from creating something out of LEGO products, filming
those creations, and distributing those films.
