People dont seem to realize just HOW good the Trolls movies really are
Under it's loud surface its not only a celebration of music, you find beautifully textured animation, incredible coreography, great humor and romance, and even messages of racism, ethnic cleansing, and family
My fave thing about Broppy is how silly Branch allows him to be around Poppy when they're alone
He's never this goofy unless he's with her and it's so sweet Poppy makes him feel comfortable to let that side of him out
Screw spreading negativity and making other artists feel self conscious
SHOW ME HOW YOU DRAW YOUR TROLLS!!!
I wanna see your cute tails, paws, claws, scars, whiskers, fur, etc
Everyone is so creative and valid!!!
The It's All Love scene I feel perfectly encapsulates what the film's message and story is
With Pop music's overtaking of all music being both literal and metaphorical for the message regarding racism, ethnic cleansing, and just lack of respect for others cultures and differences
@thorntails
From someone with top surgery scars and who was shamed for never shaving body hair growing up, not a big fan of these attributes being called nasty to add to a troll
I dont see how you can have so much time and energy to hate
I hope you can find kindness someday
I've been watching Trollstopia finally for fanfic research purposes and I cannot believe none of yall told me about Minuet Sonata I am ashamed
Yall are sleeping on her
Shes so funny and relatable I love you my sweet lil drama queen
I had my doubts about the franchise going into the theater to see the first movie in 2016
But man, I was proven wrong by being given a film made with love, hilarity, gorgeous colors, and a great message on top of it all
The True Colors scene unexpectedly made me cry
@FunnyHappyStud1
Trolls World Tour is one of the only animated films to do the racism metaphor expertly and properly paired alongside amazing music, creative visuals and animation, and just absolutely excede the first film in terms of story, worldbuilding, and message
I leave this thread with the climax of the 3rd film
An original song and great scene I feel perfectly shows all the fun, love, family, and pure joy these films always try to bring into this world
These films exist to bring joy, which anyone's life can always need more of 🩵
The movie in the end builds up to a beautiful final scene celebrating all music genres, their cultures, and having it all together in one big medley of embracing differences by just letting each species be themselves
I wont post the full scene, but the beginning here says it all
One small aspect I personally love about this film is one of Branch's brothers, Spruce, was the "heart throb" of the band with abs
Later he becomes a Dad, changes his name to Bruce, and gains weight
His weight is never shamed or addressed in the film and its so refreshing to see
From the first film you can see just how much love and care went into it animation and textures alone
The colors are beautifully bright, with a diverse universe of textures to each setting and creature
With hair being a main element in the films of course it's also very well done
Then the second film took what made the 1st so good and just expanded upon it ten-fold
More music genres represented by new Trolls species, with their own individual textures for each land, and a message about racism and ethnic cleansing regarding Pop music I've never seen done
Another very intriguing note in the film is Poppy's conflicts
She's very convinced that her natural goodness and personal goals is whats right that she ignores other voices around her, leading to some very mature dialogue and revelations I dont often see touched in family films
It's just so refreshing to see a boy and girl couple in an animated film where they're so close, open, and fun with one another while not losing what makes their characters strong and unique within their relationship
Their relationship makes them stronger
And back to the lands and textures, I just gush over Rock music being all demin and embroidery
Country being cotton and flannel, and even the water in the film isnt just water, it's cloth
Poppy and Branch's relationship is especially good
I did mention romance didnt I? These two are the silliest goofies in love
They're best friends before anything else and support, include, and stay by eachothers side
Their dialogue feels real and they had a great slow burn
A big element of this film is family and how just because you're related it doesn't give someone an excuse to treat you like you aren't worth what you really are
It's a film about embracing change, being yourself, and coming together differences in all
The villains are just pure fun
Incredible designs that make for some very fun animation and character expressions
And their stealing of talent to be able to sing and make their own music can easily be related to the AI situation in todays that affects genuine art and music now
And lastly but definitely not least I talk about the 3rd film
In my opinion the most fun out of the three and the best villains
With it's call backs to boybands and its message about family and even perhaps a conflict that can be related to the AI debate going on right now
TO CLOSE THIS THREAD
I love Trolls, I can recognize its over the top personality may not be for everyone
But lets not discredit it just cause its "made for kids"
These movies are beautifully crafted with alot of love and care and arguably one of Dreamwork's best franchises ever
The coreography is the strongest in this film, paired alongside amazing visuals, hilarious jokes, outstanding song covers, AND it reunited NSYNC to make a new song
All this makes the whole movie just so fun and enjoyable to watch many times over (which I have)
