Once upon a time

Our story begins a long time ago, in the magical land of Denmark. It was here that a Danish fisherman named Thomas Dam crafted the very first troll doll in the 1950s. These dolls were unique with their wild, colourful hair and cute, friendly faces. Little did Thomas know that he had just created the beginnings of a worldwide phenomenon!

From dolls to cartoons

As the troll dolls gained popularity, they caught the eye of creative minds in the entertainm­ent industry. In the 1980s, ,,The Trolls,, made their debut in the world of animation. They became stars in their very own cartoon show, and kids everywhere fell in love with their wacky adventures. The show featured a variety of trolls, each with their own distinctiv­e personalit­ies and traits. There was Poppy, the brave and optimistic leader, Branch, who was always cautious and analytical, and a whole host of other lovable characters. Together, they embarked on exciting quests and learned important life lessons along the way.

A tale of singing and dancing

One of the most iconic features of The Trolls cartoon was their love for singing and dancing. In fact, they were known for their catchy tunes and infectious energy. The Trolls believed that singing, dancing and hugging were the keys to happiness, and they shared this message with kids around the world.

The modern Trolls

The Trolls continued to evolve and adapt to new generation­s of kids. In 2016, they made a big comeback in a movie called ,,Trolls,,. This animated film brought the

Trolls into the 21st century with stunning 3D animation, exciting adventures, and a star-studded cast that included famous voices like Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick.

The movie was a big hit, and it introduced a whole new generation to the colourful world of the Trolls. It also spawned sequels, spin-offs and even a TV series, ensuring that the

Trolls would remain beloved by kids for years to come.

The lessons of the Trolls

What makes the Trolls so special is not just their colourful hair and fun songs but also the important lessons they teach us. Through their adventures, they remind us of the power of friendship, positivity and the joy of being ourselves. They show us that it,s okay to be different and

that we should always embrace our unique qualities.

The Trolls have been spreading happiness

and joy for generation­s. Whether you,re watching their classic cartoons or enjoying their modern adventures, remember the lessons they teach, and keep dancing to

the beat of your own colourful drum.

The Trolls even had their own special dance, the “Trollstice” dance, which was a joyful celebratio­n of togetherne­ss. It encouraged kids to let loose and express themselves through dance, just like the Trolls did.

The Trolls remind us that, no matter how challengin­g life may be, there’s always a reason to sing, dance and hug it out. So, grab your Troll doll or put on your favourite Troll movie, and let the magic of the Trolls fill your heart with happiness!
