4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable children's/family holiday movie, December 14, 2003

By 

bibliophile (Churchville, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Little Troll Prince [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I grew up watching The Little Troll Prince on an old taped-from-tv copy every Christmas season. It is an enjoyable, though of course at times simplistic and sappy family movie, but being geared toward children, must be. The story is cute--about a Troll prince who does not fit in with the normal troll ways and discovers that there are other ways to live that are good. The message is the gospel story of Christ's birth and redemption for humans told in a cute story without being too much for kids to understand, or butchering human truths. Kids can appreciate and respond to such parts as the young trolls tormenting one another, especially the trolls that are "different" or easy targets, much like school children who are deliberately mean to one another. In response to an ealier, prejudice against Christianity review, there is no anti-semitism in the movie, and growing up with it I can testify to no confusion regarding Jewish people or culture. After all, Christ was a Jew, and as the characters in the story point out, He came to save all people. It is a safe and enjoyable holiday movie without watering down the meaning of Christmas to a stupid "be nice to people and be of good cheer" concept that is becoming universal and drowning out purpose for the holiday, which is, of course, Christian--Christ's Mass. If you do not want Christ in Christmas, then perhaps Christmas is not a good holiday for you. If you want a decent Christmas movie for your kids or family, this is a good choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A film that will charm adults and children, March 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Troll Prince [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this film when I was very young, but it is a family tradition to watch it at least once every Christmas. In the heartwarming story, Crown Prince Boo, Prince of the Trolls just can't seem to be a good troll. He uses bad language such as "please" and "thank you" which makes him a disgrace. Then, through a prank played by his brothers, he is kidnapped and taken to "people land", where he learns the meaning of Christmas and that God is Love. After seeing this charming video your children will be singing the catchy songs, see the true meaning of Christmas, and examine their own ways of dealing with their friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Little Troll Prince, December 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Troll Prince [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie has been a family favorite for many years. My children love singing the songs (and they are all in their 20's). It has a positive message and emphasizes the goodness that comes from living the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." A wonderful message in any religion.
