Review of Trolls (2016) by Li O — 02 Mar 2017

What a cute movie! As an adult who's a kid at heart I really liked it!

I thought it was clever how they wove snippets of well-known classic songs into the story in a seemless way - a great way to introduce tiny tots to some brilliant songs that were written a couple decades before they were born.

I felt like there was a LOT going on - almost a little overstimulating in parts. For adult-me, I still managed to follow alright, though I do wonder if very very young children will follow everything or if some parts will go over their heads a bit. The story: whilst not a 5/5 story, it's still a very good story (maybe 4/5). I enjoyed the moral. There's a true deep message in there: that happinses really is inside all of us; it's not something we get from external things. Love this message and loved that they teach it in this movie.

All in all, a glorious explosion of glitter & rainbows, sprinkled with some cute humour and silliness. Left me with a feel-good feeling in my heart and a smile on my face!
