THE MOVIE \u2014 2.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Poppy, the optimistic leader of the Trolls, and her polar opposite, Branch must embark on an adventure that takes them far beyond the only world they’ve ever known when they must rescue their friends from the Bergens, creatures who capture and eat trolls.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>Despite the scary nature, it\u2019s all good with a positive message about love and happiness intermixed with music and cheap humor. Honestly, I didn\u2019t really expect much from Trolls<\/em><\/strong> and even with the whole eating trolls element, it\u2019s still a safe enough flick for families to watch together, but it does lack the creativity compared with other animated projects (in and outside the Pixar brand). On the plus side, the animation is pretty and the voice casting on the parts of Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake weren\u2019t bad.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

No surprise, this animated film looks brilliant in 1080p (MPEG-4 AVC codec) where colors are bright throughout and detail is sharp. It\u2019s an almost given that an animated feature, with a major budget, should look good and it doesn\u2019t disappoint.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc comes with a surprisingly robust DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track which nicely showcases the variety of music and score along with clear dialogue levels mainly from the center speaker while front and rears are mostly used for ambient noises.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, Trolls<\/em><\/strong> is one of those half-baked animated features that might feature nice animation, it\u2019s something that\u2019s probably geared more towards kids and has little to offer their parents; on the plus side, the voice acting wasn\u2019t bad. This \u201cParty Edition\u201d released by Fox offers great video\/audio transfers and a so-so selection of bonus material.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
