Les Trolls 2 : Tournée mondiale

It was ok. My kids (ages 4 and 7) lost focus many times while watching. The music was pretty good, but nowhere near as good as the first Trolls movie.

We tried to watch Onward (Pixar) twice and my four year old asked to turn it off. I recalled the new Trolls film was for rent on Prime so we switched it over.

My kid is glued to the television with Trolls. It's keeping her attention and she likes the songs. The makers of the film had a certain target audience in mind when they made this film and I'd say it was highly successful.

I suspect I will have to watch this film more than once today.

I had watched the first trolls and enjoyed The story, friendship, and music. I went into the second movie with high hopes and expectations. I understand the message that they were attempting to portray in the movie to all children, but doing so took some of the fun out of the movie. Kudos for the message that they were attempting to send to all children and adults, but doing so took some of the fun out of the movie. Overall, it was somewhat slow but still a fun watch. Whether your children get the message or not, they will still enjoy the movie.

This movie cannot decide if it wants to support individuality or group mentality. Early on there is a lesson about people being people no matter who or what they are. Then halfway through it explains the dangers of homogeneity. By the end, it tried to teach the old separate but equal thinking. I know it's a movie made for children, but there was no clear message. My 8 year old daughter asked me what the moral of the movie was, and I didnt know what to tell her.

Initially I thought this film would be just cute characters singing pop songs all the time. In fact there is a plot which touches heartstrings too. The colour scheme is kaleidoscopic, and the music is infectiously catchy. It is one big party, but it also has a message for adults to think about. I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would.
