Trolls World Tour is about the same as the first where its a visually beautiful spectacle, but its weak script keeps it away from being anything more than a forgettably generic kids flick.

A strange, fun and layered elegy to music.

...a journey well-trodden, but nonetheless elevated by tight visuals, high-energy, and good vibes that make for some easy-breezy viewing.

Trolls World Tour is nowhere near the quality of the first film, with fleeting fun attached to mostly forgettable songs.

What's missing is the wonderful weirdness that made the original Trolls film the strangest children's entertainment since H.R. Pufnstuf. Story wise, this one feels formulaic with less of an edge.

It's still a film aimed at very young kids and can be annoyingly twee at times, but there's a sense of spectacle and cleverness here that was rarely present in its predecessor.

A kid friendly and reasonably entertaining lightweight film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Jan 7, 2021

A more adult and complex plot that invites you to talk with the smallest of the house about the importance of tolerance and the richness of diversity. [Full review in Spanish]

Once again, 'Trolls Word Tour' reiterates what we have known all along but some of us chose to ignore or may have forgotten: music is the universal language of the universe.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 3, 2020

There's a sweet message in this harmless hit-heavy kid and stoner friendly flick that features cool voice cameos, but it certainly won't be for everyone.

Trolls World Tour expands on the world and themes of the first film, but it's narrative imagination is limited. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 5, 2020

The songs are kinda boring and the plot's pretty rote, but this film is shockingly beautiful and thought-through in all the design elements.

Even with so much spelled out, the significance of this very abstract parable will be best appreciated by the adults in the room, just as the trippy visuals (often quite imaginative) belong to the same tradition of knowingly warped storybook imagery.

Trolls World Tour has its heart in the right place that it's easy to forgive the fact that this film is essentially just an excuse to compile an eclectic-enough soundtrack.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 15, 2020

Likeable and fun enough that it emerges smelling of candy canes. So many candy canes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2020

Trolls World Tour is clear on one thing: never should glitter and rainbows be automatically equated with brainlessness.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 10, 2020

Families are home craving content to entertain the kids. "Trolls World Tour" accomplishes this with flying colors (quite literally), as the folks at DreamWorks Animation turn an animated journey into a unique music history lesson.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 18, 2020

Trolls World Tour has a message that people can live peacefully while respecting each other's differences. It's a message that comes wrapped in a lot of musical numbers and action sequences, but it's something that audiences can take to heart.

Full Review | Jul 16, 2020

... [Trolls World Tour] is truly confounding in the most positive, warm-hugging, high-fiving, responsibility-taking way. ... you've got the best seat anywhere in your house to go on this crazy journey into the history of Trolldom.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 8, 2020

There's just no heart, soul, or true purpose in this film; something generic and robotic about every aspect of its existence.
