Trolls is an animated film that dives into two opposite communities: the Trolls and the Bergens.

Trolls are the little colourful creatures who seem to be in happiness all the time. They simply love to sing, dance and hug. The music and joy fill their whole world. Bergens, meanwhile, are big, ugly and miserable creatures who believe that they can only be happy once they have eaten a Troll.

The movie sees the optimistic troll leader, Poppy and Branch, the polar opposite — one who is pretty gloomy and the other a survivalist — on their mission to rescue friends from Bergens who happen to be quite hungry.

If you are a fan of Trolls Band Together, you will like this feel-good tale of friendship, music and finally learning to accept differences.


5) Rio
