Movie -- 2016 -- Netflix
Trolls
Happy glitter trolls once lived in a cage-tree: Bergens ate them once a year to feel joy. Twenty years after an escape, Princess Poppy's party draws Chef back. Poppy and gloomy Branch cross a grim town to get their friends before Trollstice. A loud pop musical whose G rating does not cancel people-like trolls as food.
Not suitable under 6; parental guidance to 8 (Bergens eat trolls, Chef's hunt, Branch's family loss); ok from 9.

Before you press play
Felt, glitter, and wall-to-wall pop songs. Underneath: giants who eat trolls, a hunter-chef, a grey town, and a boy whose grandmother was taken. Cute faces. The eating is the load. Volume is part of the weather.
- Creatures eaten for happiness
- A party that gives them away
- Capture

- A grandmother who did not come back
- Loud songs
- Finding joy without eating someone
What may feel big
The opening Trollstice (trolls as dinner); Chef snatching friends into a sack; Bergentown's grey misery; Creek seeming to go into a king's mouth; Branch's bunker story of Grandma taken; a cooking-pot full of trolls; betrayal. Songs are joyful and very loud after tender beats.
4-6. Four and five are below this scale. Six needs a grown-up for eating-trolls, Chef's hands, and Grandma. Glitter does not make 'they eat people-like friends' small.
7-9. A fair try with volume in your hand and a skip list for the opening feast, Creek-in-the-mouth, and the pot. Branch's flashback may sting more than the jokes.
10-12. Often ok. They can hold a villain who thinks happiness is a meal. The opening and the grandmother beat can still sit at bedtime.
