The ugly-cute, Don King haired toys are back, but this time, they have their own movie. The idea of "Trolls" hitting the big screen is a hilariously fun and reminiscing idea for millennial children to love.
Going back to the seventies, the furry, combed up haired toys were as famous as "Smurfs" or even better. Kids in the seventies, who are now parents can finally make their children understand why the trolls were a favorite.
The director of the movie itself, Mike Mitchel, does have rich memories of the troll dolls from the 1970s. According to a report from USA Today, the director Mitchel recognizes the trolls as a rich decades-long history of smiles. The senior box-office analyst for Exhibitor Relations even remarks, "It's been a long, wild ride for trolls."
The animated "Trolls" future movie success is comparable to 2014's "The Lego Movie." Despite the challenge of creating a story that will make the ugly cute troll dolls relevant, the selling point of both toys is the fact that generations have known them and enjoyed them.
Meaning, we should all thank Thomas Dam, the Danish woodcutter who carved the very first troll doll in 1957. Hardly anyone does not recognize the hug-friendly outstretched arms and the wide smile of trolls. And, of course, who can forget the bad-hair-day trademark these dolls have marked in our minds?
What's a troll movie without villains? The fun-loving trolls are challenged to stay away from the gigantic monsters Bergens. They are hunting trolls and eat them for their happiness.
WPSU reported the persons who voiced the troll characters. "Friends With Benefits" actor Justin Timberlake, who also produced the movie, voiced the cranky troll Branch. While plucky troll princess Poppy voiced by "Pitch Perfect" actress Anna Kendrick.
Timberlake's hit single, "Can't Stop The Feeling" is one of the movie's soundtrack. While 2001 hit single "Clint Eastwood," by Gorillaz has also been revived for the movie.
"Trolls" is already playing in cinemas.
