Trolls World Tour

Favorite movie between all of my sisters from younger kids of 7 and 20 year olds. Obsessed with the songs and vibes

As many are seeing from the string of 1 star comments, people were taken off guard when Trolls World Tour was released on April 10, 2020. I will admit that I was one of them. I thought to myself how $20 was way too much money for a rental. Why couldn’t I own this movie right now? Why are they expecting so much? This feels greedy. Don’t they know how we have all been affect by COVID-19? People have lost their jobs, people haven’t received their promised stimulus and unemployment checks, and our lives have been turned upside as we know it. I mean, we bought the early release for Onward a few weeks back and it cost less than this rental. What gives? So knowing all of that, why would I give this a 5 star review? Because I realized I was looking at this from the tip of the iceberg. There was a huge chunk of this iceberg still below the surface, masked from my view, causing a misconstrued perception of what I was seeing. With further thought, it become clearer to me that we were in new territory. I was looking at this release as I do any other release where the movie goes to the theater, people buy tickets at the box office, and then we wait anxiously at home ready to pounce on buying the digital release. This movie didn’t do that. It was the first movie ever to go from production to digital release skipping the box office all together. Despite the marketing showing this was a premiere of the movie, I focused on how I saw “early release” and expected what I saw when Onward was an “early release”. However, these were not the same thing. Contrary to some of the other comments left, Onward, did go to the theater. They had their premier back in February 2020. It was released to the world in theaters on March 6, 2020. It grossed over $100 million during the short time it was released until they released it as an early release due to the theaters being closed from the COVID-19 pandemic. Trolls World Tour never did any of that. They didn’t get the premier. They didn’t get to release it worldwide in the box office. They never saw a penny as Onward had. So, comparing the two is not the same at all. Instead, Trolls World Tour was released as a home theater premiere experience. By doing this, they were allowing entire households to see a movie, instead of holding it up and waiting for the virus to be over and theaters to open again. So, why am I unwilling to pay $20 for the premier being brought to my home for my whole family when it would cost me more than $100 to see it once if we actually went to the theater? I am not. I was at first, but upon thinking about it, it is a steal. I am able to take my family to see a movie newly released for only $20 instead of $100 for tickets, not including what it may cost for popcorn, candy, and soda, and then, because my kids are young, missing large chunks of the movie for bathroom breaks, or scary parts…the possibilities are endless and unpredictable with young kids which is why we tend to avoid this part of the movie experience for right now. So, for us, this was a major win, and we got to do something we don’t normally get to do. Enjoy the premiere experience at our pace, as a family, with whatever snacks and drinks we wanted, as many times as we wanted. Yup, we’ve watch this at least 6 times now, my kids are having a blast, and we never would have gone to the theater over and over for over $100 a pop to see a movie. Instead, we would have waited until it was released as a digital purchase. Now, it doesn’t mean that some improvements couldn’t be made. They shouldn’t have put early release on both Onward and Trolls World Tour. It misguided people right away into thinking their experience would be the same simply based on the wording. The fact it was a premiere was lost and it should have said premiere without saying anything about an early release because it wasn’t. There should also be the ability to rent to own movies on amazon in general, where if you rented it, you should get a discount if you decide to purchase the movie later. I don’t mean for only the premiere releases, but all movie releases. There should be an incentive to want to rent and then buy. The digital realm is different than going in person in more ways than the cinematic experience. People do want a greater return on investments, and when it is so easy to purchase a movie with a click of a button, people usually want to buy something more permanent and not rent. Incentives could make this a more positive experience. With that said, we have to dig below the tip of the iceberg. The semantics of wording and lack of understanding by many of us, including myself, as to what was going on with this “early release” premiere, shouldn’t be what takes away from the movie. We did find a lot of joy in watching this movie multiple times, and I’m sure we will watch it many more times before our experience comes to an end tomorrow. I hope amazon does take into consideration how they could improve what happened. I would hate for us to lose the opportunity to have movies premiered at home because of how the first trial went down. Now, for my actual movie review and enough of why I think you should give this rental a go. The movie provides a perspective and morality that is so needed right now. The point of the movie is that we can coexist regardless of our personal beliefs together as one. We can sing different songs, dance differently, eat differently, and have different political and/or religious views and still all be good people. Now, I am not turning this into a political post, but we all feel and know the divisiveness that has been increasing and this movie brings us back to basics. We can coexist and get along if we choose to. We all have different reasons for our thoughts, as seen in this very comment section. We can let our own personal thoughts control every aspect of our lives and want everyone the same as the rock troll did, or we can all learn from Poppy and realize there is more to all of us. I feel this was a much needed sentiment and was done very tastefully. This is why I give this movie a 5 star review. Also, for those who watched The Croods, you'll see the "release the baby" scene come into play in this movie. It was a funny scene then and was here as well, but clearly wasn't original ;-)

Trolls World Tour was even better than I expected! The music is incredible — every genre is so fun and the soundtrack had my whole family dancing. The animation is bright, glittery, and completely stunning, and the story has such a positive message about celebrating differences and working together. My kids were obsessed from the first minute, and I loved it just as much as they did. It’s funny, upbeat, and full of heart. Definitely a rewatchable family favorite!

*SPOILER ALERT after first paragraph* I had to think about spending the $20. On a rental. I justified it enough because going to movie theatres would have cost me way more being that I have 2 kids. I thought the music was better in this one. Quite entertaining all the way through and my two boys (ages 10&13) would agree as well. Now for the spoiler... loved the characters and the different communities of music. I’m a big punk and rock fan and I was kind of annoyed they made the rock trolls villains. My youngest who plays drums and also likes that type of music was puzzled to why the “rock” trolls were the “bad” guys? I would have been totally fine if the yodelers or the Kpop trolls were the bad guys instead. I figured they would make up with kindness at the end of the movie.... but they didn’t. The rock troll finally did understand but that’s it. I guess I just wanted the rock trolls to redeem themselves at the end. They did but very little. Overall the music was better than the first I thought. I loved the variety of types of music & well... the lesson. Was indeed a good one. Ozzy Osbourne plays the king rock character and although he’s not in it a lot. His parts were quite humorous. It was a nice movie to watch as a family especially under the tension that the world is under. Worth the $20. To me.

My kids love this movie. It was adorable and cute

Excellent movie. Would recommend.

I love that the music is appropriate for older people as weak as kiddos. I have purchased the soundtrack from each Troll movie for my phone. When I travel with the kids in the car I play this music and we all sing along.

Très bon film pour enfants! J'ai autant aimer que mes enfants!

Great movie!!

Nos encanta la parte en que bailamos y cantamos en familia.

El dvd llegó en perfectas condiciones y en tiempo, pero nunca lo pudimos ver. Lo probamos en 3 dvds diferentes y el codigo de region no es para México. Es un lástima que en la descripción del artículo no venga esta información. Nos ahorrariamos todo el tabajo de envio que esto implica y la desilusión de tus niños al no poder ver su película tan esperada. Revisen el codigo de region antes de comprar.
