Customer Reviews

NOT FOR THE CYNICAL-OPTIMISTS ONLY
I rented this for my daughter, not expecting much, but I was very impressed. The little troll Stanley is adorable and very lovable-isn't that what we want to see in a children's movie? He is an excellent role model for kindness and positive thinking-something lacking in some adults, I might add. The children were very believable, and I found myself getting very absorbed in the story, and rooting for the "good" characters.
The evil trolls were perfectly evil, and the heros find clever ways to deal with them while having a wonderful adventure. I think there are great messages here.1.)Pay attention to the children in your life, make time for them. 2.)You're never too old to think" young" and have fun. Give this movie a chance. I intend to buy it A.S.A.P. The animation was beautiful and the voices perfectly suited to the characters, in my opinion. Great job, Mr. Bluth!

A number one child's movie
I've seen this movie a million times and it never gets boring. Lovable characters for most ages, first class animation, great sing-a-long tunes and much, much more. A Troll named (Stanley) a good troll who wants to grow flowers is banished from his flower hating kingdom to Central Park. Here Stanley meets two young kids who's parents never spends enough time with them. Meanwhile Gornorga the Queeen of the evil troll, is trying to turn Stanley into stone. To learn more watch the movie.

My daughter ADORES this movie!
My father gave this video to my daughter when she was four, and she absolutely LOVES it! Sure, from an adult's standpoint it might be lacking, but for a young child, it has all the essential elements of a winner: an evil villian, a lovable hero, two young kids, colorful animation, some corny songs thrown in, and, of course, a happy ending! The plot is easy enough for a preschooler to follow, and Stanley, the good-hearted troll who wants to put his "green finger" to use in Central Park, is indeed, truly lovable! I recommend this movie for children, ages 3-8. They'll love it!
