Trolls

"I’m a Grinch when it comes to spontaneous song-n-dance sequences in modern animated family films. Movies like Despicable Me will throw in a Bee Gees number without ever committing to being a musical in order to gain unearned jives from its audience. It’s cheap, but it makes me thankful when a film like DreamWorks’ Trolls gets it right."

"Kids should adore it, but don't let that scare you - the movie is every 3D psychedelic inch a fairy tale for adults."

"Not a keeper like 'Frozen', but a loveable and giddy guilty pleasure."

"Exuberant, busy and sometimes funny, DreamWorks Animation's "Trolls" is determined to amuse."

"The precision-tooled brilliance of this sort of animation is beginning to wear a little thin. Still, Trolls is a fun enough ride."

"Dreamworks 33rd animated adventure is also likely to be one of its most polarising."

"A fun mix of music and animation."

"It's perfectly timed to deliver some peace and happiness to festively frazzled parents of small rugrats everywhere."

"As infernally sugary as this movie may sound on paper, and however mercenary its commercial intentions, it's hard to resist ..."

"We've seen it all before."
