Trolls (2016)

2016 | Animation | Family

100 mins

After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy (Anna Kendrick), the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious, curmudgeonly Branch (Justin Timberlake) set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Their mission is full of adventure and mishaps, as this mismatched duo try to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.

Not made for adults
This film is totally made for children, it's incredibly cheesy and a little bit silly at times. The music, however, is pretty classic - from Simon and Garfunkel to Motown - so I definitely can't knock that. I'm sure S&G would never have thought a group of multicoloured trolls would be singing their songs in 2017. It's literally about a group of monsters eating trolls to make them happy. Yes you can't get more ridiculous than that.

The new film ‘Trolls’ by Dreamworks opens nationwide November 4.

Trolls is an animated kids movie starring the voices of Anna Kendrick as Poppy, heir to the Trolls, and her pessimistic best friend Branch, voiced by Justin Timberlake.

Trolls opens with a quick summary of the Trolls personality– they are always happy, love to hug, party and dance. This is immediately followed up by revealing the trolls biggest predicament: the Bergens.

The Bergens don’t feel anything at all and don’t enjoy doing anything, the only amount of happiness they feel comes from eating the trolls on a holiday they deemed “Trollstis”.

I actually enjoyed this concept although it is a bit dark for children. The film however, manages to stay away from having a dark tone throughout. Instead, it’s filled with cheesy musical numbers and has a very basic plot, I.e. trolls get kidnapped and need to be rescued.

The character depth is pretty slim and the only character development we really see is with Branch (Timberlake) who goes from being pessimistic and a downer to positive and happy by the very end.

Multiple times during the movie I found myself asking “when is this going to end?”. There was maybe one moment throughout the entire movie that got a half chuckle out of me and that was absolutely it.

Despite such big names like Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, Russell Brand, Zoey Deschanel and Gwen Stefani, the subtle adult jokes sprinkled throughout the movie were few and far between…. Rather than most recent films targeted at kids, that have an underlying thread aimed at drawing in adults and making it worthwhile for the adults to attend, Trolls adult aimed content seemed to be at an absolute bare minimum.

Therefore, my conclusions are this: If you’re looking for a kids movie that also has substance that reaches adults, this film doesn’t make the list. This film is simply a kids movie in every way.

However, if you want to take your kid to a movie that lights up his face and brightens his day this movie is worth sitting through.

I’d give this movie 2/5 stars as an adult, but the 8 year old boy gives it 5/5.

Have to admit I truly did not want to see this movie. However, I think the message of loving everyone, even though they are different is important and I found myself singing along with the soundtrack.

Cheesy & Very childish
The majority of animated films nowadays seem to be aimed directly at children, making them far too stupid and childish and I'm afraid Trolls is no different. Animations can work for both adults and kids (as Pixar, Disney and the Lego movies prove), but Trolls just goes for bright colours, a silly plot and lots of pointless singing and dancing. The only thing that can possibly appeal to adults in this film is the songs, but they just seem to be out of place and are an obvious alternative to providing a substantial plot. Even the nostalgia factor from the toys is lost in this.
