Worthy messages, but snarling, scary dogs in animated film.
While sitting in thrall of it, it's only natural for the abused mind to scramble to find reason in an otherwise meaningless entertainment.

The plot is pretty creative. It is about a troll named Stanley, who has a green thumb which can grow flowers. Unfortunatley, he lives in a troll kingdom where bad=good and vice versa. In this world, growing flowers is against the law, and so Stanley is banished to Central Park. However, the troll queen Gnorga, wants to kill Stanley, and is putting together an evil plot to turn him to stone.
The songs are pretty good too. I especially liked Gnorga's "The Queen of Mean". It's very catchy, with some creative lyrics and a nice beat. Stanley's "Green" song was pretty nice too.
However, there are some points where this movie can be too cutsey. Like in the dream boat scene, which I highly reccomend skipping over, and most of the scenes with the little girl. This is probably why it got such bad reviews.
This movie has some likeable characters too, like Stanley and the kids, though some might find them a bit annoying.
Overrall, this is actually a very good kids movie and I reccomend you see it if you are in the mkood for a movie with heart.
