Trolls Holiday is a half-hour TV special set after the events of
the Trolls film. Because Trollstice – the annual occasion
where Bergen eat Trolls in order to feel happy – has been once and for all
abolished, Bergen Town is left with no holiday to celebrate. Meanwhile, the bubbly, musical Trolls are
perpetually enjoying various holidays. Realizing
that her friend Bridget and the rest of Bergen Town is missing out, Queen Poppy
enlists the help of Branch and the rest of the Trolls gang to develop a holiday
for the Bergens. However, it is Poppy
who will learn the true essence of a holiday, which is deeper than presents, decorations,
and glitters.
How you’ll find Trolls Holiday totally depends on how
you found the original movie. If you
liked it, then this special is a treat. If
you didn’t, then it may your eyes roll. As for me, though the film didn’t resonate with me, I had some enjoyment
from it. Thus, I somewhat liked Trolls Holiday.
The plot is clichéd and cheesy,
as expected, but the breezy, sanguine execution makes the narrative fairly
winning. It has a couple of genuinely
amusing moments. And, at least once, it’ll
make you crack a smile or nod to the catchy beat (seriously, I would love to
hear a full-length version of Branch’s take on “Lean on Me”). Moreover, the participation of the original star-packed
cast of the film adds another layer of charm.
Trolls Holiday isn’t great.
But it has enough to add to whatever preexisting holiday cheer at hand.
