    I am really not a fan of animated cartoons using obvious computer animation tools, without inspiration, it produces bland, generic animation. I don't find Trollhunters graphics appealing at all, like a generic creative order rather than a work of passion.

    If you want to see an animated series and have not yet watched Avatar the last Airbender, choose this over Trollhunters. Both kids and adults will find satisfaction there and character. Or give a shot at this year's One Punch Man which almost transcends its manga roots through its playful absurdity around manga tropes.

    I feel Trollhunters visibility is mainly due to Del Toro's name. Period.
    It is not enough to make it a series to remember and is a huge let down for a mature spectator.    … Expand

    Torn between a 6 and 7 here. Plenty here for kids in the way of action and humor. The animation is first-class and the cast of voice actors was well chosen. Yes, that's Glenn from The Walking Dead voicing jock Steve Palchuck, never mind the more recognizable voices (including tragically Anton Yelchin). Nice touches like that set this show apart.

There a some clever scripted and visual bits, like the goblins drawing a mustache on the new leader every time the prior one gets squished, and Del Toro knows his way around magical and supernatural charts, illustrations and ultimately the design of all of the trolls. It's nice to see a kids show with some thoughtful artistic touches. Not quite enough to make this a parent's fave, but enough to make a new year's marathon viewing bearable.… Expand

    Trollhunters has a nice vibe to it. There is an ’80s “Goonies” flair, but it is also has intelligence and flashes of wit, such as when a creature hums “In the Hall of the Mountain King” by Edvard Grieg as it goes in for a kill, or when Toby finds out Juliet dies in “Romeo and Juliet.” Otherwise Trollhunters follows the formula for these sorts of stories, uncomfortable teen by day and superhero at night.

    What makes Trollhunters stand out, in the early episodes, is another del Toro trademark: the design of the monsters, who are significantly more interesting to look at and listen to than their human counterparts.

    There’s not much verbal wit in Trollhunters--the jokes are pitched to a kid audience that has probably heard better ones in DreamWorks feature films such as How to Train Your Dragon and Shrek. But it looks terrific, with sleek animation that moves back and forth between human and troll worlds with fluid skill.
