Apparently, The Trolls movie tackles cultural appropriation:
Poppy and Branch
discover that they are but one of six different Troll tribes scattered over six
different lands devoted to six different kinds of music: Funk, Country, Techno,
Classical, Pop and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger and a whole
lot louder. A member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb, aided by her father King
Thrash, wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme.
With the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their
friends, set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony
against Barb, who's looking to upstage them all.
“History of Funk” [a song within the movie] explores the
genre through the lens of the Trolls. “Pop stole the beats,” says Shay
matter-of-factly. “They used everybody else’s music and called it their own and
did not give anybody the credit, so it’s a deep, meaningful part of the movie.
We also wanted it to have an uplifting chorus — but when you’re telling the
story of a revisionist history and cultural appropriation, it’s hard
to be uplifting.”
to be uplifting.”
“A challenge is having it come across in the right way,”
adds Knobloch. “This is not a little kiddie movie — it’s got substance and
intelligence and some much weightier themes that people are not going to
expect.”
20 is a great deal!
Considering it will be that much to buy when it comes out. And if I went to the
theaters (which I was going to do) it would have cost me 8-10 a piece for
tickets then food, drinks, etc. The last movie I saw was frozen 2 with 1 child
and the whole thing was like 40. Ill take 20 and my food at home to show
everyone at once. I'm glad they offer these options for times like this. :
What better way to watch Trolls: World
Tour this Friday at home than with a Trolls: World Tour themed popcorn bucket
filled with delicious real movie theatre popcorn!
Or how
about a re-watch of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker with a Star Wars
collectors cup filled with bubbly ice-cold soda?
Sounds substantive,
I'll have to check this out! (former college radio DJ here). I notice a quote
from Geo. Clinton in the article:“We are different in our ethnicity and culture
and lifestyles but if you put it all together, that’s what makes harmony."
So, cultural crossover, learning from each other, blending; there's the way!
For a family of 6
like ours this is a steal... For a kids movie as bad a trolls movie though...
All I'm saying is Barb is right... Pop music isn't really music 🤣
