The Art of Trolls

Product Information

Production Designer Kendal Cronkhite-Shaindlin made the trolls and their village all bright and multicolored, with lots of primary colors. The Bergens and Bergentown featured a dark palette. The Bergens were a visual challenge. The trolls were based upon the toyline, so their models were clear. The Bergens were all original. They had to look completely different, but not too different. They had to look ugly, but sort-of cute at the same time. The Art of Trolls shows how Cronkhite-Shaindlin and her design team, led by Art Director/Character Designer Timothy Lamb, achieved this. Trolls come in many shapes and sizes. No one description can fit them all. Is there a core of trollness which we can uncover? In December 2022, the Norwegian movie Troll (2022) broke world records when it was released on Netflix. During the first week, it was watched over 75.86 million hours, giving it the biggest premiere week ever for a non-English language feature film on the platform. In the depths of Dovrefjell mountain, a troll is awakened after a 1,000-year-long slumber. The creature is destroying everything in its path and is rapidly moving towards the capital. How do you stop something you never even knew existed? One idea which may help our study of trolls is the idea of the ‘bergtagna’ – those taken to the mountain. It was said that trolls would sometimes abduct people away to their homes in the mountains, only to return them later in an altered state. These poor folk, almost certainly people suffering mental illness, are another sign that the troll myth refers to those cut off in some way from the human community.

As a result, Loki’s nobility and likability become expelled from his identity. His character becomes rewritten. New mythologies become attributed to him, and a new figure takes the place of the old celebrated God. What is this new Loki but an avatar of Snorri sent to troll Asgardians for being Pagan Gods just as the Athenian Philosophers’ depictions of the Sophists troll the actual Sophists for holding antithetical beliefs? In addition to the design sketches and finished character art, there are storyboards, lighting studies, modeling, rigging, and more.

We can, after all, troll a troll ourselves. We can use trolling to suppress an idea. But we can also use trolling to suppress oppressive entities or find ways of using trolling as a way to construct new ideas and knowledge. The troll is a genre, a model for writing or oratory that utilizes rhetoric in a deceitful way to achieve self-related goals. Just as writing may be used to affirm a variety of ethical and unethical positions, troll rhetoric too may occupy any position amongst a moral spectrum. The internet troll just happens to demonstrate another space where this rhetoric may be applied.

The folk tales about troll are both numerous and old. One of the first written sources where we meet a troll, is in the famous book of Edda, from around 1220. But most of the bedtime songs and adventure tales all Norwegian kids get to hear and to love, were preserved thanks to an adventurous duo named Asbjørnsen and Moe. In the same manner as the Brothers Grimm, Asbjørnsen and Moe collected tales from the Norwegian countryside from 1837-1871.

They have been published by different companies including Chronicle Books, Viz Media, [1] Disney Editions and Hyperion Books.
