    Love the positive vibes and creative, colorful animation! Instant good mood!

    I'm a 30 year old man, so probably not what the producers envisioned as their primary market, but I still love this movie!

    Being a raver at heart, it's fun to watch these troll live in the ultimate psychedelic fantasy. With non-stop music, dancing, hugs, and trippy hairdos, these Trolls know how to keep it PLUR!

    I'm not usually a big fan of musicals, but this movie has a nice variety of songs and keeps them short, fun, and too the point. Never a moment to get bored. Most of the songs are very cliché, generic, pop songs, but they are catchy and upbeat, so it's hard to complain.

    Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake have great chemistry and put a lot of personality into the characters. I think they nailed it.

    I feel like the team that made this movie did a great job collaborating between the writing, acting, and animation to create lots of really great moments for characters that a truly hilarious. Unlike most comedies, this one seems to get funnier each time I watch it. I can't get enough of the fun characters and find myself smiling throughout the day thinking of the great moments in this film.

    Creative musical numbers like "Sounds of Darkness" perfectly complement hilarious comedy scenes like the encounter with M. Cloud, and lead me to believe that the guys who directed this movie have a lot of talent.

    I'm surprised this film doesn't have a higher rating. I really can't think of what is not to like, but I'm guessing it's just one of those things where you either love it or hate it. I can see it becoming somewhat of a cult classic. I really hope it made enough money that we will get to see a sequel!

    The Epic Search for a Replacement Shrek Franchise

    I guess some animated movies (most of the classic Disney ones, in fact) are musicals, right? Of course, those usually feature original music, sometimes very good original music, right? There is no foundation myth for what the Trolls are and where they come from, but I have one: an unholy alliance of Dreamworks, music, and toy executives schemed to promote their mutual fortunes by a fairytale-ish narrative of the Troll dolls and their struggle against the brutish, misdirected "Bergens" (is that supposed to be a weird reference to Bergen, Norway?), featuring (mostly) bad, recycled pop music with a Glee vibe. The result is, in my opinion, one of the worst big-budget animated features in a long time. But maybe I'm just frustrated that I purchased it from Apple iTunes for the kiddos to watch during a car trip, but then discovered iTunes doesn't let you download, so we had to watch it in the hotel instead...The kiddos (7 and 9 at time of viewing), for their part, thought all of the characters were annoying, but liked the movie, which is why I'm not giving it a lower rating. In fact, this led to a Trolls 2 iTunes purchase that same weekend: Corporate Stooges 1, BabelAlexandria 0.

    My son loved it...its a kid's movie!

    After seeing so many negative "trolls" on here about what people don't like about this film, I thought I would just throw one glaring fact out there...it's a movie for kids! And my 2.5 year old loved it! As far as he is concerned, it currently has infinite replay value. He really seems to like movies that have a great sound track...which this one does. The songs are enjoyable covers of easily recognizable pop songs from several decades, with some modified lyrics. The point is, if a film entertains your kid many times over, then the writers did something right. The plot was simple and was about what I expected. If you really hated this movie, stop being such a Bergen and lighten up!

    Shark attack, nom nom nom nom!

    It's so silly, I love it. Great talented cast, with good singing voices.

    The cloud guy is just weird, for a minute you forget you're watching a kids movie "little slappy? Make Daddy happy" hahaha It's just a fun family musical film that'll make everyone laugh.

    Fun for what it is

    This is a fun little silly kids movie. And it works really good. Again do not set any high bar or standard, just accept this for the animated fun that it is. And you don't even have to be a kid to enjoy it. There is enough for everyone. You shouldn't mind singing too much, though the songs are also very free and with Justin Timberlake at the helm you know you got a hit in the making.

    I actually knew one song before I had seen the movie. But that's just because it got very popular quickly. It may be the same for you. The story is simple and I wouldn't even really spoil anything, especially because it is very predictable. Just sit back and enjoy if you can and are willing too

    • Trivia
      Christine Baranski recorded a song "Bringing Happy Back" to come just after Chef proclaims "I am that he." It was decided that it made Chef a too sympathetic character, as it seems like she genuinely wants to restore happiness to Bergen town, so it was cut. It can be heard on the Blu-ray extras with storyboard drawings.

      Branch: I don't do high fives.

      Cloud Guy: Slap it, boss.

      Branch: Nope.

      Cloud Guy: A little slappy, make daddy happy?

      Branch: That's just weird.

      Cloud Guy: Here, just do this...

      [high-fives himself]

      Cloud Guy: ... but with your hand.

      Branch: Thank you for that demonstration of what I will not be doing.

      Poppy: Branch! It's just a high-five! The others lead to certain death! Get perspective!

      Branch: Fine!

      [goes for a high-five, but Cloud Guy pulls away]

      Cloud Guy: Too slow!
