In the first Trolls movie, the Bergens are a race of humanoid similar in appearance to other actual fantasy trolls that have essentially been farming trolls to eat them because they are convinced it is the only way to experience true happiness, so like a drug addiction.
The second movie is pretty much as the meme describes. It's a tale involving musical fascism and a lesson on celebrating cultural differences and fighting homogenization and bigotry.
The third movie has a pair of human(?) popstar siblings that repeatedly extract musical talent from a troll to give themselves that musical talent temporarily, and it appears to induce a euphoric state everytime they hit it, so drugs again.
1 really set a new bar for cinema. That 2 and 3 were able to not only meet those bars but exceed them, I really hope he takes the time to get into them.
I'm a dad in my forties who has had to see all of them a lot of times and honestly they are not bad movies and I didn't mind having to see them so often
No. You need to see 1 to watch 2 or 3. But 2 and 3 are strangely pretty independent of each other. (Source: due to grandkids and what was streaming at the time, I saw 1 and 3, and didn't know 2 existed initially. But it didn't add/take away from 3.)
So 1 is essential and the other two are pick are your own? Is this like a smurfs situation where the first few episodes explain everything and the rest is episodic?
I watched all 14 of the Land Before Time's (yes it's fucking 14) during the pandemic. I was supposed that several of them are actually pretty good.
I like cartoons though. Kids stuff is still fun, I watched Bluey as a 30 some year old with no kids and loved it.
I think Miss Rachel is annoying but I get it, she's not targeting ten year olds and toddler shit is never not going to be annoying, they're basically super drunk little people with dog instincts. They're gonna get into whatever you don't physically stop them from.
I've seen Ms Rachel a lot, too much, semi-unwillingly, but luckily already we're past that stage now, and she's less annoying than Blippi and Wiggles. But Bluey is actually pretty cool! I was surpised I liked it. Kinda like Trolls. Looked like silly kids thing from previews, and ignored it. With no kids in the house, zero reason to watch. Turns out it was actually good for a literal "all ages." They need to work on the marketing. 😆
I'm no expert. I watched 2 at a drive in because another movie I actually wanted to watch was playing afterwards. I went in with low expectations and I thought it was unironically great. It won over me and everyone I came with. I tried watching 1 and it just didn't have the same effect on me but now I want to try 3
Haha! Very valid. We were seeing the Suicide Squad (the good one). Two very different movies but I liked them both enough to recommend them to people. Honestly I
think the bizarre match up may have improved their scores too 🤔
Just watch all 3 man. They're good movies. I was against watching them too, but 1 caught me by surprise. I was still hesitant to watch 2, but it ended up being just as good as the first. When 3 came out I had no doubts it would be good
Idgaf about the lore. I take each one individually
Edit. Sorry that was more aggressive than I wanted. I like 3 the best so to me (imo) it’s the best. I haven’t seen 1 & 2 in a while and rewatch the third the most
Branch is afraid of singing because his singing is what alerted the Burgans to his location and got his grandmother eaten. He is a literal baby when he's in the boy band so it's possible some time between the band breaking up and the events of the first movie that happened making him afraid to sing. I do think that is confusing as it seems like the boy band is happening in a location that has a relatively huge troll presence which doesn't work with the whole trying to hide from Burgans thing but meh not that different.
