    Edit
    • Trivia
      Co-writer and co-director Gary Goldman said during an interview that the reason the movie did so poorly at the box office was the fact that it was released without any promotion, and that release was limited. He also stated that its distributor, Warner Bros., did not have any confidence in this movie.
    • Goofs
      During the reprise of "Absolutely Green", some of the cities have been covered in plants in different points (the World Trade Center is an example, which was covered in three different points).
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      [Stanley runs and bumps into a troll from behind]

      Troll: Hey! Watch yourself!

      [Stanley accidentally grows a flower]

      Troll: Say, what was that?

      [the troll laughs as Stanley drops his bag behind him and the flower jumps in]

      Troll: Oh, for a minute, I thought I saw one of them, um, um, uh, flower things.

      [the troll laughs]

      Troll: That's a relief. I'd sure hate to have to tell the queen. Oh, well, have a rotten day!

      [as the troll walks off, Stanley picks up his bag and waves]

      Troll: [singing] I'm a bad troll, a very bad troll.

      [Stanley's thumb lights up and he quickly hides it behind his back]

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits are over, an image of Stanley appears. His green thumb lights up, and the words "A Don Bluth Presentation" appear, before vanishing.
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD version omits the Warner Bros. logos, as it was released by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, whose logo appears instead.

    What hath Disney wrought?
    A Troll in Central Park is not a terrible film. It's just extremely sweet and innocent and this world isn't ready for it. Anyone over six years of age will be embarrassed to watch this - even alone - but that's more of a societal problem. But there are definitely reasons to see this. The animation is amazing, particularly with the children. It's realistic but somehow completely believable in an animated world. And their movements are so fluid and realistic. You can tell every action was acted out and studied meticulously. I really wish this was done more often. The environments also look amazing, especially when the human world comes into play. As for the cute or humorous sidekicks, that's another story entirely. It's probably just a personal bias, but I hate the way Don Bluth designs his more cartoon-y characters. Their personalities aren't any better, ranging from "cute" to marshmallow-peep-flavored-vomit "cute".

    Anyone who loved The Secret of NIMH will be shocked to see this film. I mean, how can the same guy who made a progressive, dark and outstanding film be responsible for this? The story is very fairy-tale esquire, like a children's storybook come to life. The villains are more humorous than threatening, the characters spontaneously break into song and dance and everything is whitewashed with cuteness. This is the result of Don Bluth finally giving in to the pressures of Disney, trying to replicate their formula, losing his identity in the process and ultimately falling flat. Luckily, Anastasia would be a healthy step up. But for fans of Bluth's one-hit wonder, it's kind of depressing.
