Trolls (2016)

Review By JENNIFER KALI

I took my kids (ages 3 and 7) to see the movie “Trolls.” I had heard that it was about happiness but didn’t know much beyond that, so I was pleasantly surprised at the animal friendly message. In the middle of it, my daughter exclaimed, “You have to review this one!”

The entire movie is about the Trolls trying to avoid being eaten by the Bergens. At one point, a scared Troll exclaims, “I don’t want to be food!” There is a lot of color, hair, singing, dancing, and talk of happiness to round out this story about not wanting to be someone else’s food.

The movie was cute and had a lot of great music. My daughter, age 7, really loved the movie. My son, age 3, was afraid of the Bergens and didn’t really enjoy it. Common Sense Media suggests this movie for ages 6 and older and that seems about right.

Rated PG.
