Following Trolls and Trolls: World Tour, DreamWorks turns musical legend into trilogy
While Trolls 3: Together is clearly not one of DreamWorks’ most famous saga, it’s doing very well at the box office: the third installment of these singing little guys Returns with new characters, more songs and more diverse cinematic humor.
The band was formed
At a friend’s wedding in Bergen, Poppy makes an unexpected discovery about Blanche’s past: his fellow trolls. He and his brothers are members of the popular boy band BroZone. Eventually they separated. Years later, one of the members is in danger, and the only way to help him is to get the band back together…
Trolls 3: Together (Trolls, 2023) is the third installment in the Trolls saga, After the first success and the second failure (Published shortly after the pandemic). The film was directed by Tim Heitz and Walter Dawn (who directed the previous films), and was written by Elizabeth Tippett.
This movie has a Received a warm welcome in cinemas around the worldIn less than a week since its premiere, the film has raised $58,686,599 and topped the Spanish box office. The saga is based on the popular Troll dolls created by Thomas Dam.
The third film continues the adventures of Poppy and Blanche, continuing the trend of the second film in which meta-references were utilized much more than in the first film.There can’t be any other way because The premise of the story itself is a clear nod to NSYNC (Justin Timberlake’s hit band, who voices Blanche).
In fact, of the three, it is There are more jokes aimed at adult audienceswhich includes a thousand and one references to pop culture that likely eluded child audiences (I was particularly amused by the otaku and boy band jokes, resulting in a mixture of grimness and hilarity, I guess that’s the purpose).
yes it’s true Its accumulation of pop references also makes it the least tuned of the trilogybecause sometimes it comes across as running a lot to get one reference after another, as if it were an episode of “Robot Chicken.”
The pacing is devilish and leaves no room for boredom, but sometimes I need to slow it down a bit to get more out of the jokes’ true potential, e.g. Those psychedelic moments inspired by “Yellow Submarine” or those strange creatures that remind us of the Muppets (About conjunctivitis!).
The character drama is worse than the first two, maybe because Your script tries to cover too much. The truth is, however, that as a comedy, it works well and is filled with genuinely funny moments (yes, they could have saved Mini Diamante, which was pretty unfunny).
As always, on a technical level it’s a joy of color and the soundtrack is very catchy.Regular voice cast of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake or Zooey Deschanel Camila Cabello, Amy Schumer and RuPaul Charles join luxury brands.
Trolls 3: Together fails to live up to the level of its predecessor, which speeds up the pace considerably by bombarding it with cultural references. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), It’s still a hilarious comedy for kids and not-so-funny kids alike..
