    Star Movies brings Trolls to Indian Television Screens for the first time ever!

    MUMBAI: Staying true to the promise of being the destination for Hollywood Blockbusters, Star Movies brings to the Indian Television audiences, a fan favourite film Trolls. Directed byMike Mitchell and Walt Dohrn, Trolls stars the likes of Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, Zooey Deschanel, Kunal Nayyar among others who have given their voice to the characters in the film.

    The movie, much loved by adults and children alike, makes it to the Indian television screens for the first time on Star Movies, 26th November 2017 at 1PM and 9PM.

    The movie is another animation masterpiece from Dreamworks, the studio that gave us Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. Not only does the animation catch the attention, the music too hits the right note. A highlight of the film is the music and it features the Academy Award nominated song, “Can’t Stop the Feeling” by Justin Timberlake.

    Trolls is a story that sheds light on Poppy, the happiest among the race of Trolls. Like the rest of the Trolls, Poppy always sings, stays content and remains optimistic. Their enemies are the Bergens, who are always pessimistic. So when the Bergens invade the Troll village in search of happiness, things get quite interesting. What ensues is a storyline that leaves you in splits but also pulls at your heartstrings as the Trolls fight for survival.

    Owen Gleiberman from Variety summarises the film quite aptly when he writes, “What’s the nature of happiness? ‘Trolls’ is the right film to pose that question, because it’s an ecstatically happy movie, a giddy EDM kiddie musical that sends you out on a high.” Just one of the examples to show that Trolls is not just for kids, it appeals to all age groups and is a complete family experience.

    Continuing to this day, the Troll doll phenomenon was born in 1959 when Danish fisherman and woodcutter Thomas Dam, too poor to afford a Christmas present for his young daughter Lajla, carved a doll for her based on the legendary Scandinavian troll. This modern-day Geppetto couldn’t have imagined that the Troll dolls would soon become one of the biggest toy crazes of the 1960s. The Trolls experienced a resurgence in the 1990s and their uniquely endearing faces and shocks of coloUrful hair continue to capture the hearts and imaginations of fans around the world.
