About This Movie

A Troll in Central Park, directed by Don Bluth, presents us with a whimsical tale that contrasts the vibrancy of nature with the harshness of urban life. The animation has that classic Bluth charm—rich colors and expressive character designs that pull you into this fantastical world. The pacing is gentle, allowing moments of reflection amidst the more comedic bits. The themes of kindness versus meanness, nature versus concrete, really resonate, especially with the performance of the lead troll, whose warmth feels genuine. It’s not just about trolls and flowers; it’s about finding your place in a world that wants to stifle joy. A curious mix of nostalgia and a hint of melancholy makes it a distinct entry in the animated landscape of the '90s.
