I rented this for my daughter, not expecting much, but I was very impressed. The little troll Stanley is adorable and very lovable-isn't that what we want to see in a children's movie? He is an excellent role model for kindness and positive thinking-something lacking in some adults, I might add. The children were very believable, and I found myself getting very absorbed in the story, and rooting for the "good" characters.
The evil trolls were perfectly evil, and the heros find clever ways to deal with them while having a wonderful adventure. I think there are great messages here.1.)Pay attention to the children in your life, make time for them. 2.)You're never too old to think" young" and have fun. Give this movie a chance. I intend to buy it A.S.A.P. The animation was beautiful and the voices perfectly suited to the characters, in my opinion. Great job, Mr. Bluth!

I've seen this movie a million times and it never gets boring. Lovable characters for most ages, first class animation, great sing-a-long tunes and much, much more. A Troll named (Stanley) a good troll who wants to grow flowers is banished from his flower hating kingdom to Central Park. Here Stanley meets two young kids who's parents never spends enough time with them. Meanwhile Gornorga the Queeen of the evil troll, is trying to turn Stanley into stone. To learn more watch the movie.

My father gave this video to my daughter when she was four, and she absolutely LOVES it! Sure, from an adult's standpoint it might be lacking, but for a young child, it has all the essential elements of a winner: an evil villian, a lovable hero, two young kids, colorful animation, some corny songs thrown in, and, of course, a happy ending! The plot is easy enough for a preschooler to follow, and Stanley, the good-hearted troll who wants to put his "green finger" to use in Central Park, is indeed, truly lovable! I recommend this movie for children, ages 3-8. They'll love it!

If you enjoy Fern Gully, you'll definitely love A Troll in Central Park. The movie is full of singing and, of course, plants. Great for children and parents.

There seem to be several negative reviews. I admit, Don Bluth as made some crap in the past few years. Titan AE, Anastasia. But you have to admit, this wasn't all that bad. The fact of the matter is, it's for kids. Bluth's movies typically had content that was a quite intense for G-rated movies, this was probably just his break from that. I'll admit, this isn't the best movie ever made, but it did what it set out to do. It made a cute kid movie. And I think they did a good job. Recomended for people who just want to see all of Don Bluth's movies.

My opinon on this movie believes that it shouldn't be a movie. The character design was very blah- although I did enjoy Gnorga The evil Queen of the trolls. The character that got on my nerves the most was Gus. (The little, fussy kid that was spoiled rotten to the core.) I usually like watching movies where i enjoy the main character- but this movie only made me hate him. I was actually glad at the near end when something bad happens to him- too bad it didn't last. The songs didn't appeal to me either. The little kids I know aren't fans of Don Bluth- and obviously- neither am I. If I were recommend a Don Bluth, The Secret of Nimh was pretty well done. It could be that I saw the wrong Bluth movies, but i'm tellin ya this isn't a 5 star, 4 star, or 3 star movie. Show your kids, or watch a a movie worth your while! I recommend not wasting your money on this one.

This is truly a movie for all ages. I enjoyed this film as a child, and still do today. I'm 26 years old and I ordered it FOR MYSELF!!! The songs are fun, Stanley the troll is endearing, and Rosie makes you wish she was yours! I give it a 4 star rating and not 5, because the fun is over way too soon!

A great story about a friendly troll that loves flowers, and Dom DeLuise has a wonderful voice for children's songs. I, and my grandchildren love it.

This was my favorite movie as a child, and I still absolutely love it!!! I remeber my older siblings picking out scary movies, but my dad would always let me watch this one last so I wouldn't be scared. :)

This is not one of the best animated cartoons out their nor is the story plot but when I was ages 8-11 this movie was da bomb. It's cute for the little audience because they aren't so critcial and don't judge movies the way we do. Buy for your children. Believe me they'll enjoy.
