Trolls: World Tour vs. Music History

      Growing up, my favorite bands were Breaking Benjamin and Icon for Hire. Starset has recently joined them in that pantheon. People claim that "Divisions" is their weakest album, but it sports two of my favorite songs of all time: "Echo" and "Diving Bell." Set It Off is more punk than rock, but I also really enjoy their music.

      @ The Beatles were nigh-Shakespearian in their versatility, doing everything from the nonsense poem whimsy of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” to the poignant mood setting of “Norwegian Wood” to the absolute heartache of “She’s leaving home” and “Eleanor Rigby”. And the best thing of all is how no one engineered them to happen. They were just four friends who got together in a club and started singing and it turned out their music was just what the world needed back then. Really, the best rock songs are basically just short stories in musical form, and that’s true of the Beatles and of Bruce Springsteen and of Bob Dylan as well.

      I think "The Lego Movie 2" is criminally underrated. It's a shame that film was a box office flop because it was an amazing sequel that actually built upon its predecessor's themes, pun very much intended. "The Lego Batman Movie" is unironically the best Batman movie and I will die on that hill. I don't know much about "Ninjago" as a franchise, so I didn't enjoy that movie as much as the others, but some of the jokes are still solid gold.

By gauging the overall reaction and history of Disney's blunders, I can see the problems with Disney's approach to Storytelling, corrupt all of their properties to expose these problems in their storytelling, and later expose their under belly of lies and deceit in an effort to be able to find out what kind of company Disney really has become.

    I think you are taking what the hip hop trolls are saying and twisting it. They are not saying “what about what you are doing” they are saying the pop trolls have a history of stealing from the other music trolls as well. I think you are also taking their words out of context where in a hip hop is remixing things, but also ignoring how the culture of sampling works in hip hop. It is not with the intention to over look the owner. It is also ignorant to say that pop hasn’t stolen and taken credit from traditionally black music. I think you are ignoring the racial undertones of that scene.

    Queen Barb hates pop because she actually really enjoys it. Her tantrum was full of her complaining about how much it takes up her every waking thought and how much it invades her very being. Being the QUEEN of the hard rock trolls, she believes she's not allowed to like anything but Hard Rock. The movie hints multiple times that these genre tags are arbitrary. Poppy enjoys all the music except for country because she can't relate to it, but Branch really vibed with it! Guy Diamond is full of electronica sounds, Cooper physically looks like a Funk troll and loves funk sound in his music. When he finds the funk trolls, he exclaims that he's BOTH a pop AND funk troll. Prince D explains to Poppy that all the strings were together on a harp, and one troll steals the harp to play a single tune on it, so the other founders take an arbitrary string and form their subcultures with trolls that like the same feel, message, and sound as they do. The pop trolls liked it all. When the strings are broken, they all turn grey with sadness but quickly realize that the strings were only a vehicle for their self-expression. That the tribes were just groupings of like-minded individuals so far removed from the founders that they've created complex tastes like Branch, like Cooper, like Guy Diamond, and like Queen Barb. The pop trolls represent the harmful melting pot ideal of Americana, that we are all the same because we are all one species on this planet. But, it's a melting pot poured into a mold of an average. Branch tells Poppy that you can't do that, you have to let everyone play their own notes to create a harmony, to create a unified human experience. That we need to hear the soul in its musical vehicle in order to appreciate it. That's why tribes like the K-Pop trolls exist. It's not that there is a Troll Korea, it's that there's trolls that exist that sing to the tune and message of K-Pop. Trolls World Tour was really a nuanced and surprisingly ACCURATE depiction of American Pop Music. It's my personal favorite in the trilogy. I think if we look beyond the silly vehicle, we can appreciate the soul in this story.

    I enjoyed hearing your overview on musical history as reflected in this movie, but I think the movie was aiming for social history with the groups representing social groups rather than musical movements throughout history. Pop added to any other genre often becomes pop and this tendency towards assimilation can be compared to imperialism. The movie had a lot of elements of critical race theory. Poppy had genuinely good intentions, but without a knowledge of history and how the past impacts the present, she had a skewed measure of what the road to peace should look like. The lesson she learned by the end was to celebrate and make a space for differences. While it was not her fault what had happened in the past, if she really cared about peace, she carried some of the responsibility to make things right. I honestly thought the movie was very thoughtfully put together in terms of achieving its message.

    There's another gaping plot hole - omnivores. Zootopia largely omits their presence, animals such as: bears, mice, rats, squirrels, swine, raccoons, sloths and yes, foxes are all omnivores, yet in this convoluted universe are not factored into this dichotomy of predator or prey. There is also a major lack of primates and marine mammals, remember, not all mammals live exclusively on the land, I can understand not including birds, yet avians outnumber mammals 10 to 1, they are one of the most prolific organisms on the earth. The film also has flawed zoology, the premise of Zootopia is that the city is 90% prey and 10% predator, this is based on the false belief that a habitat is consistently inhabited year-round, wildlife habitats are not static, they shift throughout the year as animals migrate as the environment changes, in fact in zoo captivity, some animals are giving drugs to suppress their migratory behaviours, if Zootopia wanted to biologically accurate, there would be no demographic numbers, as the population would fluctuate between herbivores, omnivores and carnivores, this would be far more nuanced than what Zootopia attempted. Beastars is far better than Zootopia, it doesn't shy away from evolved traits in animals, it also lampshades these traits which Zootopia played for comedy, it would have been better if Zootopia were a dumb action comedy, simple fun for everyone looking to be entertained, it should have been more TaleSpin or Darkwing Duck.
