Trolls World Tour is an actual new movie and it’s out there to watch at drive-in theaters across the nation. It’s also “live” here and there in any theaters that manage to be open during the pandemic. And we now have the Peetimes on the RunPee app to help you enjoy all the musical acts! Which really are funny as hell.
But is Trolls World Tour any good? Should adults bother to see it?
Trolls manages to hit all the notes of a good movie, if you can tolerate a little weirdness. Okay, a lot of weirdness. I’m convinced the writers were on some interesting drugs for this one. And you should watch it with that mindset. The movie is completely cracked in a way that will go right over kids’ heads — so it’s fine to take your youngsters. You’ll all enjoy it on entirely different levels.
Trolls is also a Message Film. And the message is so spot on right now that it takes my breath away. How did they know the US would be dealing with riots, protests, violence, and intense anger over humanity’s differences? How could a crazy insignificant toy-based animated flick could be so…prescient?

I actually watched this movie twice in a row for RunPee. The first time, I was sort of packing my stuff up to return from Brazil, looking for Peetimes in the background from the moments between songs (yes, Trolls is a musical). And when it ended, I started it again to pay closer attention to the story. It’s clever. You don’t expect that from what should be a silly kiddie diversion.
I didn’t see the first Trolls movie, as RunPee Mom essentially dismissed it. But I’m curious if it has the same sly absurdist satire in the background. Now I have to download that. I hope there’s more music.
Let’s give Trolls World Tour a solid B, for somehow managing to have a message without being cloying, a subversive sense of humor adults will appreciate, in an hour and a half of colorful popcorn fun to take your mind off CoVid. If you have a drive-in theater near you, take the family and go.

What people are saying about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
