Dreamworks Animation To Bring Good Luck Troll Doll Toy Line To The Big Screen

Hey everyone, cultural pop quiz! Who remembers these little guys? Ok, who remembers the story behind them? Nobody? Really…well, that must be because there isn’t one. Enter DreamWorks Animation, who plan to adapt the Troll line into a feature length film, leading many of us at The Playlist scratching our heads in equal parts confusion and resentment.

Alex Schwartz, the head of development over at DWA, was quoted as saying “We look forward to working alongside Dam Things to build on the mythology of the Good Luck Trolls while delivering the sense of adventure, heart and comedy that DreamWorks Animation is known for.” The troll doll saga was most recently adapted as the animated TV series “Trollz”, which curiously featured a group of girls who attempted to balance their teenage lives while fighting monsters in the cleverly named town of Trollzolopis (Nilbog, anyone?).

The adaptation is set to be written by the sibling team of Adam Wilson and Melanie Wilson LaBracio, who also penned features “Evergone” and “The Impossible Adventures of Phineas Roone” (and no, we haven’t heard of them either).

DreamWorks Animation has had a pretty good year, with the unexpected $474 million hit “How To Train Your Dragon”. With the studio gearing up a sequel for a 2013 release and their next film, the animated “Megamind” set to open in November, it appears DWA is slowly building up a stable of reliable franchises to follow the now concluded run of “Shrek” films.
