Ben Travers IndieWire 12/27/2016
While a simple story drives things along, the impressive visual flair del Toro brings prove compelling for fans of the creator, animation enthusiasts, and, of course, those valued kid viewers. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 12/27/2016
They have made their series with brio and wit, as much majesty as the budget will allow, and enough suspense and mystery to make one invest in subsequent episodes as they arrive. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 12/22/2016
The cleverest thing about Trollhunters might be that the fate of the world is in the finicky hands of Frasier Crane. Go to Full Review Ankita Chawla Scroll.in 05/31/2017
It is an epic adventure that features ghosts, trolls, swords, goblins, gnomes - and it is really very good. Go to Full Review Steve Wright SciFiNow 01/03/2017
4/5
It stands as testament that even at 26 episodes long, Trollhunters never feels like it's overstaying its welcome. With a second season likely, we couldn't be more excited at the prospect. Go to Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) 01/03/2017
The show is full of humor and action, and has a cheerful spirit that rarely lets up. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
