Is trolls about ww2?
I just rewatched the original trolls movie and I might be a bit crazy for thinking this but I couldn't help drawing a lot of parallels to ww2 and more specifically the holocaust. Apologies if this is a bit deep for a kids movie.
First off the Bergens want to kill/eat all the Trolls for a better world (their happiness) with no regard for the fact that they are living breathing "humans" who have feelings.
The Trolls have the most diversity, the Trolls who have locks, glitter Trolls as a possible queer allegory, and the main trolls who are the allegory for jews. There's also a pair of twins and siamese twins who were famously experimented on during the holocaust.
I belive Poppy was an allegory for the Jews who knew what was going on in the camps but didn't fully know how bad it was, like maybe a child would. Branch is someone who knows what happens in those camps and how bad it is and there were Jews who went into the camps just so they could stay with family. Poppy's dad is someone who rioted against them and almost paid for it twice and at that point he gave up, I also think he could be an allegory for the Jewish people who disagreed with what the Nazi's were doing but didn't do anything to stop them/stopped trying.
Bridget is an allegory for the Polish people who helped give refuge to Jews and eventually, if they were caught, paid for it.
We also see the Trolls hiding a lot and bargaining with the Bergens much like how the Jews did with the Nazis/Polish people. The most obvious case being Creek selling out the Trolls hiding spot to the Bergens which a lot of Jews did if it meant they could survive a bit longer, even though they usually didn't. Creek could also be an allegory for the Jews who had to help the Nazi's in the camps while working there.
Also when the Trolls near the end all turn grayscale that could be an allegory to the clothes prisoners of war had to wear in camps or could also be an allegory for when children/optimistic people finally lost their innocence and understoof just how bad it was in those camps, once they were apart of them.
Obviously the movie ends much more light heartedly but I think it's an interesting comparison. Thank you for listening to my weird comparison anyways, I really hope I'm not going crazy.
I'm also sorry if this counts as NSFW I really don't know but it is an analysis on the movie and it was a real thing that happened and is taught in schools. Apologies if this does fall under that category though.
