Bergens are giants compared to Trolls. Meet Poppy (Anna Kendrick) who is going to be queen of the Trolls. She decides to have a party, but Branch (Justin Timberlake) warns them not to make a bunch of noise or their enemies, the Bergens will find them. Poppy doesn\u2019t listen and, because of that, the Bergens, capture some of the Trolls. Poppy decides to find and rescue them. Will she save the Trolls or will the Bergens do something to them before she does? You have to see the movie to find out.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed watching this movie because I love the music.\u00a0 If you didn\u2019t know, this movie is a musical.\u00a0 It is fantastic! I love how they turn well-known songs into their own new version of the song by changing the arrangement. Another reason why I love this movie is because of its cast. The cast\u2019s chemistry is evident as you watch the interaction between the characters throughout the film. Anna Kendrick\u2019s and Justin Timberlake\u2019s performances are fantastic because they take you on an emotional journey and make you feel it. I love how Justin Timberlake\u2019s character goes through changes throughout the film and Anna Kendrick\u2019s character Poppy is hilarious. She m<a onfocus=\"this.blur()\" onclick=\"ps_imagemanager_popup(this.href,'trolls.b.jpg','1176','1000');return false\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/trolls.b.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"trolls.b.jpg\" title=\"trolls.b.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/thumbs\/th-trolls.b.jpg?resize=249%2C212\" width=\"249\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a>ade me laugh a lot.<\/p>\n<p>The supporting cast members are superb as well and their characters, in some scenes, steal the show. For instance, Biggie (James Corden) is so hilarious in one scene, but I can\u2019t say which one because it would spoil the movie. Also the performances of Gwen Stefani, Russell Brand, Zooey Deschanel and many others will have you laughing as they deliver a bunch of jokes as well.<\/p>\n<p>This film is amazing and has a positive message &#8211; \u201cYou don\u2019t need things or people to be happy.\u00a0 Your happiness lies within yourself and you should be proud of who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I give this film 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to kids ages 6 to 18. I think adults may like this as well. The Bergens may be a bit scary looking so kids under age 6 might find it too intense. I also recommend this to people who like action, adventure, musicals and family movies. This film comes out November 4, 2016 in theaters nationwide. Make sure to see this movie, because it is worth seeing.<\/p>\n<p>Trolls<br \/>\nBy Morgan Bertsch, KIDS FIRST!

These are fun, energetic characters as well as grumpy characters who blend together to make this film perfectly engaging. There are also stupendous songs that make you just get up and out of your seat, singing and dancing.<\/p>\n<p>The animation is very vivid, extraordinarily colorful and detailed which is perfect for the little ones who will love the colors and the fun characters in this film. The way everything so detailed, realistic and whimsical makes this film really stand out in a way that appeals to both kids and adults.<\/p>\n<p>The cast is brilliant especially Poppy (Anna Kendrick) who is the happiest, kindest, sweetest troll of them all. She always see <a onfocus=\"this.blur()\" onclick=\"ps_imagemanager_popup(this.href,'trolls.i.jpg','1777','736');return false\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/trolls.i.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"trolls.i.jpg\" title=\"trolls.i.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/thumbs\/th-trolls.i.jpg?resize=250%2C103\" width=\"250\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" height=\"103\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a>the bright side of things and reminds me of myself when I was younger. Maybe that\u2019s why she is my favorite character. Plus, Poppy is an amazing singer just like Branch (Justin Timberlake).<\/p>\n<p>Branch the grumpy, sad troll is also very sarcastic and funny. He is a favorite because of how his smart remarks add a lot of humor to this film. Justin Timberlake, who I recently met, is nothing like his character in real life. He is an absolute sweet heart in person. I got to talk with him recently on the rainbow carpet for <em>Trolls <\/em>and learned that h<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/trolls.g.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"trolls.g.jpg\" title=\"trolls.g.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/thumbs\/th-trolls.g.jpg?resize=252%2C104\" width=\"252\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" height=\"104\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a>e loves to sing and dance and he had a splendid time working on this film. He is also the executive music producer for this movie.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget (Zooey Deschanel) is an unhappy scullery maid who is in love with someone. She needs a little help to get him to notice her and hence, the matchmaking begins. Last, there is Chef (Christine Baranski), the villain we all love to hate. She is crazy and frightful.\u00a0 She likes to eat trolls and that keeps the story interesting and intriguing for older kids.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite scene is when Poppy is singing a fun song called \u201cGet Back up Again\u201d while she is almost eaten, stepped on and everything painful and horrible happens. I love this scene because it made me laugh so hard.\u00a0 It makes you want to get out of your seat and sing along with her. I also love the way that she gets back up no matter what, thinks positive and tries her best to help everyone, no matter what happens to her along the way.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend this film for ages 5 to 18 because younger kids will love the fun songs, colorful animation and the silly adorable characters and older kids will love the scary villain and the story line. This is a feel good family friendly movie that parents will enjoy as well. I give this film 5 out of 5 rainbow troll stars. Be sure to check my interviews on the rainbow carpet where you can meet actors who play these characters and learn more secrets.
