An overly optimistic Troll goes on a journey to save her friends from a group of mean and nasty Bergens. Along the way, she sings songs, dances and hugs all her Troll friends and it is infectiously adorable.
I get it, those little toys they called TROLLS were very popular at one time. You could find one of these suckers in nearly every child’s play area. But how the hell are you going to make a movie - let alone a good one - about a freaking doll with very tall hair? Well, somehow DreamWorks Animation has created not only a good one, but a nearly irresistible musical comedy that is almost all cupcakes and rainbows - a good thing in case you were wondering. While it may be a ton predictable and sometimes silly, it is also incredibly charming and legitimately funny. This is such an enchanting little flick that you can’t be too bothered by its overtly happy attitude.
Another thing TROLLS gets right is the casting. Anna Kendrick is perfect as the ridiculously optimistic Poppy, who will one day end up queen of the Trolls. This feature utilizes her lovely personality as well as her singing talents in a wonderful way. Poppy, this odd little creature will have a ton of young fans after they witness this overload of cuteness. Aside from Kendrick, Timberlake is great as well and we all know he can sing. Other standouts include Zooey Deschanel as a lovestruck Bergen and Christine Baranski as the evil Bergen Chef. The film also boast the talents of Jeffrey Tambor, James Corden, John Cleese, Russell Brand, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Gwen stefani
