Trolls (2016)

One day I want to play bingo with an animated kid's film. This one definitely checked a lot of the boxes. It has vibrant colors, catchy music, grand adventure, adult jokes, butt jokes, and a nice message. The Bergen side plot was basically a ripoff of Cinderella with the slave maid dolling up for a prince and having an evil step-mother like figure. It does everything you expect from an animated kid's film. If you watch this with a younger sibling, cousin, or just babysitting; you will still have a good time. It has a great message about how others bring out the happiness we all have. Singing and dancing together is also hard to do while sad, so maybe the trolls are on to something. Don’t dismiss this movie just because it is meant for kids. It is sweet and wholesome. If you hate this movie you have no soul.
