Trolls - Gemeinsam Stark

I've made it to this third movie of the series Trolls , at the cinema, with my two little cousins.

Personally, I have watched the first and the second movies and I liked them both. What made, this one, more special than the last two, was the moment in time it was released, for me, thus have been given a special conotation.

Plus, little cousins felt really well, I've made it and bought them some safe souvenirs with Trolls, and those souvenirs were about little loving sisters, and them were in really close connection to Poppy and Viva themselves.

Had a good time!

_ edit: waiting for the fourth part.

A cinema full of children (and parents who had to accompany their children *g*). Excitement. And then: enthusiasm. The cinema went with it. Laughed, could hardly sit still. As an adult, you have to get involved with the candy backdrop of the marshmallow world, like in the two previous films, as well as the boy band music, which of course isn't for everyone.

If you get involved with it, you'll be really entertained. A downright psychedelic firework display that, on the one hand, has one or two surprises also for the adult filmgoers in the subtext, but also in the spoken jokes. Ironically, these were the parts where the kids laughed the loudest, which I can't really explain.

There's nothing about the plot here - because, being honest, there's hardly anything you could really call a plot. Trolls on a rescue mission, but in the end it's just colorful, loud with a lot of music, singing and dancing, with music that wanders through the pop culture of the last 50 years and yet makes it its own in a completely new way.

Adults will either love or hate this film. There will probably be few judgments in between. But children will be thrilled.

Branch (Justin Timberlake) and Poppy (Anna Kendrick) are at Bridget and Gristle's wedding when they are interrupted by John Dory. Poppy is surprised that Branch has brothers. It turns out that five brothers were members of a boy band. Brother Floyd has been captured by Velvet and Veneer who are using his essence to improve their performances.

Trolls are back. It's more of these brightly-colored characters doing their modern music classic karaoke. There is always a new generation of little kiddies who are entranced by the colors and the music. The parents will find enough to not get bored. Quite frankly, this franchise is like a series of loud drug-induced hazy parties and I don't remember much from the previous ones.

Animation was great. Voice acting was great. It was even a good story. The actors and animators did their jobs excellently!

But there were far too many inappropriate references for a kid's movie (drugs, sex, etc.) and so the script needed to be more age appropriate. Granted, some of it will go over their heads but the "chaining me up on our wedding night" and "let's make out" and "the ring pop that gets you high" are just not appropriate.

I know this is common for kids movies (like Shrek) but this was overboard. I wasn't comfortable with my five year old seeing this so we won't be rewatching it.

Also, this is just a personal preference I have as a musician, there is way too much autotune in these movies. It's like listening to a computer sing.

Accidentally stumbled into this movie and what a joy it was. Why did I have such a good time as an adult? Because the (terrific) dialogues are tailormade to grownups first. I am not kiddin'

More good: the trolls look absolutely adorable and kids will love the happy go lucky spirit and vivid colors and fastpaced animation. This movie is a sure bet for a fun family time.

Such a relief to see an animation movie that is targetted at kids, but which can be be enjoyed by old folks as well. I applaud the writers firstmost for this achievement. The dialogues arent difficult or anything, but there are tons of subtle jokes packaged inside this story, that only grownups will understand.

Definitely recommended for young AND old if you are into 90 minutes of charming and witty entertainment.
