A rollicking good time for all ages. The tiny Trolls are an all singing, all dancing tribe of joyousness. All except one, Branch (Timberlake) who lives his life in fear, preparing for the return of the Bergens. The Bergens are colorless and sad giants whose only way to feel joy is to eat a Troll. Or so they believe until they meet Princess Poppy (Kendrick). It seems happiness is contagious and is within all of us, even the Bergens.
The foot tapping soundtrack will be one to look for with original music from Justin Timberlake and great mash-ups of well-known songs from pop artists both new and old.
A joyful, multi colored, animated musical from DreamWorks, at a time when tolerance and joy of life should be celebrated, this is a fun, funny film for all. Can't stop the feeling! ( )
