Trolls Band Together Movie Review

I fucking love the Trolls movies, particularly finding unparalleled joy in the film“Trolls World Tour,” so needless to say, I was very excited to see this movie, so let’s get into it!

Note to the reader: I finished writing this at midnight before Thanksgiving when I was really tired and delirious. Do what you will with that information, but perhaps keep that in mind when you read the following blog post.

The songs in this movie are good, yet not quite on par with its predecessor. Despite my age potentially affecting my appreciation for the boyband and *NSYNC references, I couldn't deny their existence.

The innuendos throughout the movie were exceptionally well-crafted, adding an extra layer of enjoyment. The "hustle" scenes stood out to me as some of the most entertaining moments from the film. I was laughing my ass off the entire time and had a great time singing along to the music (not that I did that...)

The animation style of this installment also caught my attention, diverging from the previous films. For example, characters Velvet and Veneer resembled Betty Spaghetty dolls (please tell me you know what that is), showcasing a creative visual approach.

Discovering the involvement of Eric Andre and Kid Cudi in the movie once I got home was a delightful surprise. Eric Andre's voice sounded a lot like Keegan-Michael Key's, so I honestly thought that's who it was throughout the film.

Turning to the characters, Tiny Diamond stole the show with his limited but memorable screen time. contributing significantly to the overall enjoyment of the movie. On another note, I couldn't help but sense something devious, despicable, and absolutely dreadful about Velet’s character, and it all made sense when I discovered she was portrayed by none other than Amy Schumer. A Reddit post captured the essence of her role, stating, "In Trolls Band Together (2023), Amy Schumer portrays a character who is completely talentless. This is perfect casting."

Overall, I recommend this movie. It was fucking fun. I fucking love the Trolls.
