I'm usually all for kids movies, I usually go and see them in the theater, but this movie just isn't speaking to me... The designs of the characters I don't find cute. I think it's their mis-matched noses that don't match the rest of their face... and Guy Diamond being naked while the rest of them are clothed makes me go :shocked:
The soundtrack sounds like it might be fun, though. Maybe I'll check that out.
Interestingly, Anna Kendrick (voice of Poppy) is doing a book signing for her new memoir near my house next week! I live in Maine and we very rarely get any celebrities here. Most of the USA forgets we exist. :P But unfortunately tickets to attend the book signing are $30 each and you're not allowed to ask her to sign anything but one copy of her memoir, so I don't think I'll go. I thought it would be fun to ask her to sign a Trolls book or a copy of Twilight or something, but seems like that wouldn't be allowed.
As a children's book writer, I always look for movie trailers to tell us what the story of the movie is going to be about. Plot is important to me. The trailers for Trolls have been so vague. I can tell the basics of the two characters (that Poppy is peppy and Branch is gloomy) and that they have to rescue the other trolls... but that's about all I can tell. But... [spoilers]
Spoiler
There's a shot in the trailer that shows Branch start to sing and turn from gray to bright blue and to me it just screams 'climax of the movie' so I'm mad they spoiled it in the trailer! :mad:
Spoiler
Wow. I just saw that trailer I'm surprised they included that because as you said that is a part of the climax and a big spoiler for the movie.
