At the movies: The Trolls return with their family and songs in their third film since the age of 6

Recommended from 6 years

once – After two movies of twisting and falling into each other’s arms, Poppy and Branch are officially a couple (#Bropy)! When they no longer have secrets from each other, Poppy makes an incredible discovery about Branch’s past.

At that time, with his four brothers, Floyd, John Dory, Spruce and Clay, they formed the most popular boy band of the moment, BroZone. When he was still a child, the band broke up, as did the family, and Branch has never seen his brothers since.

But when Floyd, the eldest of the siblings, is kidnapped by the worst pop star villains, Velvet and Venus, who are after his musical talents, Branch and Poppy embark on a thrilling and exciting adventure to reunite the enemy brothers. And save Floyd from a fate worse than living in pop culture oblivion.

which they will fall in love with – If they are sensitive to the world of trolls, the energy and humor of their adventures, the bet is already half won before they enter the room. All the ingredients that made the previous two films successful are present in this third opus, with a few more surprises and experiments. The main characters also star Pop (Anna Kendrick in VO, Vitaa in VF) and Branch (Justin Timberlake in VO, Matt Pokora in VF).

But they are not alone. Some secondary characters are back (including Little Diamond) and a few new ones will appear. Among them are the Branch Brothers, former members of the Jackson 5 Style boy group, which disbanded due to a lack of harmony. And Viva (Camila Cabello in VO, Amell Bent in VF), whose boundless energy makes her sister Poppy a quiet person.

Lively, funny, glitter flying, villainous Boy Lovett hits the mark in every appearance. And even if they don’t recognize all the songs, the rhythm of the sequence will follow them easily. Even if it makes them want to move places. Although you are trying to get out of the refrain “make a fuss” His (that is, do you have?)

What could be bothering them? – If the sight of trolls and their old enemies Bergen frightens them, or they are allergic to glitter, these 90 minutes may seem long to them. And if they absolutely insist on singing the songs (in English) during the movie, even though they don’t know them, that can lead to some frustration.

Because Trolls Saga has the power to please both children and adults who will appreciate the use of songs and some dialogue. Like this line (in the original language) based on words in boy band names. Or another one about *NSYNC, Justin Timberlake’s former band whose members make a cameo, and which seems completely inappropriate in French.

Aside from these minor comprehension issues, which will be fixed when they watch the movie later, there’s really nothing to worry the kids about. If the change in animation style doesn’t destabilize them, during the two psychedelic deviations of the feature film, with some strange shapes and angles. And this use of song “make a fuss”which may stick more in their minds.

which they will hold deeply – “make a fuss”, already. But also, and above all, the feeling of having a good time in the company of trolls, a time of adventure, which is especially passionate in the form of a chase in the final, reminiscent of the rainbow circle. “Mario Kart”.

And then there are these messages about family. Especially those who say that harmony is not born of perfection, but of the addition of each person’s singularities. The incentive to accept differences (one’s own and others’) is certainly nothing new, but it works perfectly in the newborn Dreamworks studio, with a little music.
