A Troll in Central Park

This movie is pretty much the movie people talk about when they say "it's just a stupid kid's movie!". It's not as bad as films like Delgo, or Quest for Camelot, but it's extremely bland and cheesy. The plot is rather mediocre and thin, and seems very unfocused at some points. Some points in the movie involving Stanley, the titular Troll in Central Park (played by Dom Deluise, frequent Don Bluth collaborator) feels like it's just Dom Deluise rambling in character. The songs in this movie are bland and forgettable at best, and horrible and unimaginative at worst. The worst song in the film is Queen of Mean, sung by the film's main antagonist Gnorga (voiced by the late Cloris Leachman, best known as Frau Blucher in the classic Mel Brooks film Young Frankenstein). The song is the worst kind of villain song, the one made with no imagination. It's your standard "look at me, I'm very evil!" villain song that only works if we know a bit about the antagonist and see them onscreen for a bit BEFORE they sing it, we're introduced to the character WITH that song! The movie also stops dead in it's tracks just to pad the runtime with scenes like anthropomorphic flowers doing a soft-shoe routine and Stanley running through New York city and nearly getting eaten by someone at Tavern On The Green. For a little kid, this seems like a decent movie to sit down and watch, but its a NIGHTMARE to get through for older kids and adults.
