Watch A Troll in Central Park For Free

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely brilliant

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Wow! Don Bluth, what have you done? Anyway, here yea, here yea! All rise! The Animation Court is now in session! Many critics, vs. "Troll in Central Park" for ruining the career of the famous director! The right, and honorable judge David T. Hileman presiding! Though it was not the final nail in the coffin for Mr. Bluth's animation studio - that came with "The Pebble and the Penguin" - "A Troll in Central Park" certainly was the handwriting on the wall, with it's terrible reviews and a horrible box office take. It couldn't even make 0.32% of it's $23,500,000 budget, only grossing $71,368! It was known as the biggest animated box office bomb, until, suddenly, 14 years later, "Delgo" came along. Gary Goldman, Bluth's partner, blamed the distributors at Warner Bros. Family Entertainment for it, for lacking any confidence in the film, releasing it without any sign of promotion, and only giving it a limited release. I don't think ANYONE would have any confidence in the film, when it looks so sappy it makes "The Secret of NIMH 2" look like the original! I mean... Gus, he's a spoiled brat! A spoiled, rotten, rude, impudent piglet! I don't recommend this film. Don't let the good music by Mr. Robert Folk fool you.

I honestly don't get why so many people hate this film. Sure it has its flaws, but overall it's still a very enjoyable movie with great animation, musical score, voice acting and presentation. I found myself sympathizing with Stanley (Dom DeLuise) as he is banished from the Troll Kingdom into New York City and later pursued by Queen Gnorga who wants him turned to stone.The songs are beautiful, especially Absolutely Green. All the voice actors and actresses did an excellent job. The animation is very smooth and well-done. As a child this was one of my favorite, if not my favorite animated film. When I was young the scene when Stanley is turned to stone drove me to tears. I found myself cheering when he comes back to life.However, the film does have its flaws. For example quite a bit of it consists of filler scenes such as flowers dancing and Stanley showing the children Gus and Rosie his magical dream boat. And the ending, after Stanley is revived, goes a bit overboard with him literally covering the entire city in vegetation. But unlike others, I wasn't too bothered by these flaws.Overall, I found A Troll in Central Park to be a lovable, entertaining children's film. As a child at heart I still love this movie and rate it 9/10. It's a shame we'll likely never see a sequel because I would have loved to see Stanley come back.

"A Troll in Central Park" looks great thanks to Don Bluth's animation style, but there's nothing else going on in the movie that's worth noting. It doesn't have any interesting characters or sequences, the story is bland and the songs are not memorable. It offers little entertainment value for anyone but the absolute youngest viewers, who will outgrow it very quickly due to its overly sappy and sugary plot and tone. Although many people will probably defend it because they liked it when they were younger, a re-watch will make you realize that all it does it churn out a lazy story. Ask yourself if you really remember this movie as fondly as beloved animated films like "Snow White", "The Little Mermaid" or even Don Bluth's own "The Land Before Time" and I think you'll find that you can't recall very much about this movie at all. I suppose the movie is harmless, but there's not much that's memorable or stimulating for children here, and nothing at all for adults. When there are other, genuinely good movies you could be showing them, I can't recommend that you check out "A Troll in Central Park". (On VHS, July 28, 2012)

If it wasn't for Don Bluths outstanding animation and the good voice acting, this would be completely painful to watch. And that is being nice, since this movie is mind-numbingly boring and it seems to make very little sense. The moral of the story (you have to be brave to fulfill a dream) comes in way too late, by this point my mind had already melted from boredom.There's no animation so beautiful I could watch an hour of things bouncing around and smiling. At least half an hour of this movie consists of just this and it's not like it's very spectacular to watch.Plot? I couldn't find one. Things pretty much happen at random. The characters aren't very likable either. Stanley comes off as annoying and too cowardly. Gus is a spoiled annoying brat who spends most of the movie arguing with people and shouting "Rosie!". Rosie is cute, but that's it. Gnorga was the only somewhat entertaining character, but she doesn't spend much time in front of the screen despite the fact that she is the villain.There's also a big lack of humor, remember-able moments and inspiring dialog. It's like stuff just happens, the characters talk because they have to and... well, that's it.What crowd was this movie aimed for? It's pointless and boring for anyone over five, but the movie is too scary towards the end for anyone at that age to enjoy.It's hard to imagine this movie and "The Land Before Time" had the same directors. How is it even possible?
