Dreamworks Trolls :-) "Oh snap."



Yello World! Warning: 80's slang used in this article JUST FOR FUN; 80's fan discretion is advised. Big time!

  I didn't collect all the trolls growing up, but I did have one and loved it's jewel belly button so much!  Can you relate? So I was down to go see the new 2016 Dreamworks movie, Trolls. I kid you not; NO spoilers here! Anyone who thinks animations with modern pop originals and classic 80's/90's songs are bombdigity, this is your jam. It was light hearted, inspiring, and fun to dance to while watching!
   When you make a movie about trolls you'd think with all the harsh social media "trolls" out there bad mouthing everyone on the planet that this movie would have a deep dark plot. But it was totally opposite of that! I wanted to see this movie because the lead character Poppy a very optimistic leader shares her honest feelings and wants to protect people. Positive thinkers are totally radical. It wasn't all positive. There were Bergens, the troll eaters, that is like grody to the max!
  "Ok, people, hair we go!", one of the many funny lines in the movie. I was inspired because it was so visually colorful and the writing was pretty funny. I definitely laughed and cried and danced throughout the 90 minutes. When you have so many tubular environments that look like felt boards from Sunday school, that's tight! Glitter and scrapbooking is excellent visuals for me! Plus, the variety of characters keeps you on your toes.
   I wasn't quite so sure about all the of the music choices (for kiddos) that had big base like the song titled Hair Up, but I think I like it. My favorite song that got me dancing was...most all of them! There are even a couple of songs that are tear jerkers in some emotional scenes. I already like listening to the movie's soundtrack.
  I don't normally do movie reviews, so this is a big deal. Maybe it is the 80's and 90's themes that I love about this movie or the positive attitudes of the trolls, but if you want to have a trolly good time go see it! Check out my husband and I's troll hair wigs (from Comic Con Trolls H Hall exclusive premiere) we wore to the theater to watch it last night! So fun! We even ate out at Steak n' Shake with them on which is so brave of us. Thank you Dreamworks.
