Why We Rated This off for Ages 8 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    These Trollz are very shallow and materialistic; they're shopping- and boy-obsessed. But they do place a high value on friendship.
  • Violence & scariness:

    The Trollz battle their nemesis, Simon, with magic gems.
  • Sexy stuff:

    The girls sometimes wear skimpy outfits.
  • Language:

    "Butt," plus negative words like "loser" and "jerk."
  • Consumerism:

    The series serves as a vehicle for selling Trollz toys, plain and simple.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Trollz

Parents need to know that the main characters of this vapid cartoon series are five teenage girl trolls who spend most of their time battling evil and obsessing about boy trolls. There are few, if any, positive social messages here, with the exception of valuing friendship. Negative words like "dumb" and "loser" are use frequently.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what the series' agenda is. Since the whole show is based on a toy line, this might be a good opportunity for parents to educate their kids about how some series are pretty much just product marketing vehicles. What is this show trying to suggest to viewers? What methods are they using to sell their products? How does this program compare to other kids' shows?

    I rate this title iffy for age 8 and give it 1.0

    i might have lost 8 IQ points watching this

    i am a boy. yes i am. i am 10. but i think girls should not watch this. the show is about these 5 little girls AKA:"trolls" who love going to the mall. and have really big hair. the hair is okay. but the show is just a big long advertisement for trollz dolls and going to the shopping mall like most stereotypical girls. but..is it any good?? no. its boring stereotypical and just..not good to watch.

    Fashion, Fun, Friendship and Fantasy = the Trollz

    The basis is a group of young teen Troll girls who go through normal teen issues while also going through the trials and tribulations of being magical creatures who fight the "dark side" with their magic. Each of the main girls has a very different personality and therefore lots of social situations can be explored. My daughter decided that being the "bossy, self-absorbed Ruby" was not who she wanted to be...she really identifies with Amythist who is more serious/studious. Although this show could give examples of how to behave inappropriately, it is really about learning to deal with individual personalities in friendships.
