Whoops, meant congrats, not cograts. I'm in training drinking pints of guinness for the upcoming holiday. Kind of embarrassing for an ex editor. Not the drinking of pints part.

How much of the revenue is from toys rather than amusement parks or movies?

The LEGOLANDs have been spun off years ago, and are now part of Merlin Entertainments...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_Entertainments
I don't know how much revenue The LEGO Movie made the company, but the real money there was the tie-in from the movie to the LEGO product line... lots of very successful LEGO sets were produced and marketed with the advent of the movie.
LEGO A/S is still 100% owned by the founding family... the Kristiansen's of Billund Denmark.
Kjeld Kirk Krisitiansen owns 62.5% of LEGO, while his 3 children each own 12.5%.
The company is valued at about $15 billion.
