After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy (Anna Kendrick), the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious, curmudgeonly Branch (Justin Timberlake) set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Their mission is full of adventure and mishaps, as this mismatched duo try to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.

Critics Consensus

Trolls brings its instantly recognizable characters to the big screen in a colorful adventure that, while geared toward the younger set, isn't without rewards for parents.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Kendrick and Timberlake bring snappy comic timing, even when the dialogue could be wittier. Co-director Walt Dohrn steals the picture as a high-fiving cloud-bro.

Rated: 3/5

The Age (Australia)

I was confident Nicholas Stoller's Storks would take the prize for most obnoxious family entertainment of the year, but Trolls -- another garish, computer-animated comedy -- instantly lowers the bar.

Rated: 2/5

I didn't like it, not at all, and while I'm certain there are kids out there who will undoubtedly feel differently don't expect me to sing a different tune on the matter anytime soon.

Rated: 1.5/4

Clearly like the fairy tale that Trolls is, the happy ending, in this case a very happy one, sows the possibility of the start of a franchise... [Full review in Spanish]

Trolls may be one of the more forgettable (brand tie-in movies), but while its here everyone will be entertained.

There's nothing to really dislike here; it's too chirpy and enthusiastic for that. There's just a disappointing lack of effort to do more than is expected of it.

Rated: 3/5

The clipshow format still bothers me, but the animation being felt scrapbook land, and the sheer audacity of some of the plot points and such? I can't help it I get moderate enjoyment out of passively watching this in unavoidable scenarios (I've worked at summer camps most summers of my teen/young adult life) & it's a solid movie that will likely hold up for a couple decades (but then again if we keep getting movies the likes of Spiderverse, Mitchell's vs The Machines, & Mutant Mayhem? Perhaps it won't)

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Forced into a rewatch by the daughter, it had more good gags and greater visual inventiveness than I remembered. It also has a weirdly dark central premise to provide jeopardy, which could probably have been engineered in a different way. A very starry voice cast isn't used as well as it could be, and it shoots for an Inside Out style emotional depth, but it doesn't get anywhere close to it, ending instead with an idea that's typically saccharine and twee. Anna Kendrick is enjoying herself in the lead role, and Justin Timberlake is a decent choice, but the script doesn't give anything like enough to most of the cast to do what they can.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
