In the esteemed pantheon of movie adaptations of toys, Trolls can at least take pride in the indisputable fact that it's better than the
Transformers sequels and
Battleship. And amongst its DreamWorks Animation brethren, it's better than the last two
Shrek movies! That's sort of the extent of the highest praise I can offer
Trolls, a movie that exists solely to sell toys and albums and makes very little attempt to cover that up. Like, I'm not naive, I know there toy executives slobbering over the infinitely better movie
Zootopia since that one had limitless potential for stuffed animals and the like. But there's at least a great movie there, so who cares if they make some toys off it?
