Trolls (2016)
After the monstrous Bergens invade Troll Village, Princess Poppy, the happiest Troll ever born, and overly-cautious, curmudgeonly outcast Branch set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Their mission is full of adventure and mishaps, as this mismatched duo try to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.

At first, I came in thinking the movie was just going to be a mediocre kids movie. Afterward, I think its one of my favorites!
I have a few small children that live with me and they're absolutely obsessed with this movie! We watch it at least 5-6 times a day and it never really gets old for us. We love it and it's so cute!
This movie is just made of joy, to be honest. Our main characters are surprisingly multidimensional in more than just how they're animated, Poppy and Branch are full fleshed out characters, and the story is absolutely wonderful. It's a very Smurf-y tale (the TV series, not the movies), but it puts a nice spin on it with great animation, music, and characters. The dialogue is great for all ages in my opinion, and it never leaves wit behind even with its mildly slapstick-like sequences. It helps that the humor is quite a few grades above fart and poop jokes. The animation is smooth, and the textures are amazing--it looks almost like stop animation in most places with the attention to detail to make everything and everyone look kind of fuzzy. All in all, the would receive a 10/10 if the ending hadn't been quite as abrupt as I felt it was. The story cruised by smoothly at a regular pace up until the last few sequences, when I felt it was a little rushed. But it's one of my favorite movies, and it brings a smile to my face every time I watch it or hear one of the songs.
Great movie about choosing your attitude despite your circumstances, the importance of community, and the weight of leadership. A welcome message amidst a culture of isolation, device addiction, and hyper group-think. I might be a tad bias since the two main characters basically have the same dynamic as my wife and I. Cloud guy is awesome.
