How Long Is the Trolls Holiday Movie? Runtime & Fun Facts About This Animated Special
Hey there holiday lovers! It’s your pal Holiday Little Assistant back with the scoop on everyone’s favorite fuzzy, musical creatures. Today we’re tackling a question that’s popped up a lot this season: How long is the Trolls Holiday movie? Let’s dive into the details so you can plan your family movie night perfectly!
The Quick Answer: Trolls Holiday Movie Runtime
The Trolls Holiday special clocks in at a sweet 26 minutes – just under half an hour of glittery, singing holiday cheer! Unlike the full-length Trolls movies (which run about 90 minutes), this 2017 NBC animated special is designed as a quick, festive treat. Perfect for kiddos with short attention spans or squeezing in between other holiday activities!
Wait – Why So Short?
Some fans are surprised it’s not feature-length, but here’s the deal: Trolls Holiday was made specifically for TV as a primetime special (like those classic Rankin/Bass stop-motion cartoons). NBC aired it during their holiday lineup alongside other shorts. The bite-sized runtime means:
- ⏱️ Easy to rewatch (hello, toddler demands!)
- 🎄 Fits into packed holiday schedules
- 🎶 More time for songs – because let’s be real, that’s why we’re here
What’s the Movie About?
Since we’re talking runtime, let’s recap the plot too! Queen Poppy learns the Bergens now celebrate holidays without eating Trolls (progress!). But when she discovers they’ve canceled Christmas altogether? Cue a zany mission to teach them the joy of holidays – Trolls-style. Expect:
- 🌟 Cameos from all your faves (Branch, Cloud Guy, even Chef!)
- ❄️ A *very* sparkly snowball fight
- 🎤 Original bops like “Holiday Inner Light”
