What A Troll Is Not

A troll is a large, primitive, humanoid creature of limited intellect. Turning to stone when exposed to sunlight, they were said to have been corrupted by Morgoth in the first age of Middle-Earth. They are manifestly not the nauseatingly bad, saccharine, CGI abominations which just infested my computer screen after the breakfast news, breaking into cheesy 90s pop songs every five seconds so that it made me want to vomit! Seriously, why is such crap being made? I was eating my breakfast, preparing for the day when a godawful kid’s film starts to play; it was so nauseating that I had to turn it off as soon as I could. Both the dialogue and animation were utterly cringe-inducing. While some of those kinds of films are perfectly fine and work on multiple levels (Shrek, Toy Story etc), this one was so shockingly abysmal that it was obviously unwatchable five minutes in. Seriously, it was enough to give real trolls a bad name.
