26 Oct – Yesterday evening, Cinema Online readers found themselves singing along and laughing happily at the antics of the bright and colourful Trolls from the movie...well, "Trolls"! The Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake-starrer held its preview at GSC 1 Utama yesterday and winners from Cinema Online were some of the lucky few who managed to catch it more than a week before its official release date.
"It's cute!" was mostly the reply from our readers when asked why they wanted to watch the animated movie, which is based on the dolls of the same name by Thomas Dam. "Justin Timberlake," was reader Syafiqah's reply, no surprise since Timberlake is not only part of the main cast, he also produced songs for the movie.
Featuring the voices of Anna Kendrick as Princess Poppy and Justin Timberlake as Branch, the movie follows the duo on an adventure to save their friends from the Troll-eating Bergens. Directed by Mike Mitchell, other cast members include Zooey Deschanel, Russell Brand, James Corden, and Gwen Stefani.
"Trolls" will brighten up the big screens nationwide this 3 November. The musical comedy movie will be screened in two versions, English and Cantonese, in Malaysia and comes with a post-credits scene.
