Trolls Holiday Review


Yes i will pretty much review anything at this point and because it's early November ANOTHER Holiday themed special is out this time featuring the Trolls so here is my review of Trolls Holiday.


What is the plot of this special i here you ask well When Poppy queen of the Trolls figures out that the Bergens do not celebrate holidays she Branch and the other Trolls must get them into the spirit of the holiday. Yeah this special doesn't really call it self a christmas special but you can tell by the end that's what it is and the story is pretty much what you'd expect from a Trolls TV special.


The whole cast from the film reprise there roles for this special those being Anna Kendrick , Justin Timberlake , Zooey Deschanel and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. All of the actors that i've mentioned are pretty good in this special altho i have to admit i didn't know that Anna was back in this since poppy's voice sounded a bit different to me i only wish that the makes of this franchise would give the actors something more to do then say some mildly funny lines.

I think that the animation in this special an improvement over the animation from the film which i know is an odd thing to say considering both this and the film would have been in development at the same time but it's true everything in this special looks better then in the film. There's a great scene early on where they use mixture of animation techniques going from the traditional CGI animation to using puppet versions of the characters.


Now i will admit that this special got a few chuckles out of me and they mostly came from Poppy herself there's nothing really laugh out loud funny but there's another to at least get a smile or two the bad thing is the jokes aren't really that memorable chances are you'll here the joke but then forget about it within a few minuets.


Now this is a Trolls product so almost all of the songs are covers and i have to say that alot of them aren't that bad JT does a great version of Shaggy's Angel and there's a good upbeat version of "Love Train" but for me the only cover that isn't that good is "Holiday" it's the most obvious song to cover and it's not done well at all.


Overall this won't be the last we see of the Trolls as there will be a Trolls 2 and a netflix series called Trolls The beat Goes On out next year this special is the bogstanderd holiday special it does nothing new at all but it's a fun watch just a shame it was released in NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it gets a 6 out of 10.
