Fun First Trailer For Guillermo Del Toro's TROLLHUNTERS with Anton Yelchin
We've got the first trailer for Guillermo del Toro's animated Netflix series Trollhunters. I liked what I saw in this trailer, and it looks like it could be an entertaining and fun show! I will definitely be watching it with my kids!
This is one of the last projects that Anton Yelchin worked on before he tragically died, and it's a bittersweet feeling hearing his voice again in a new project. The show also has a talented supporting cast that includes Charlie Saxton as Toby, Kelsey Grammer as Blinky, Ron Perlman as Bular, Steven Yeun, Jonathan Hyde, Lexi Madrano, Amy Landecker, Fred Tatasciore, and even Del Toro.
The series is being produced by DreamWorks Animation, and it's based on a book series from Del Toro and Daniel Klaus. Here's the synopsis:
When ordinary teenager Jim Lake Jr. stumbles upon a mystical amulet on his way to school one morning, he inadvertently discovers an extraordinary secret civilization of mighty trolls beneath his small town of Arcadia. Strong-willed and seeking adventure but wholly unprepared for the responsibilities thrust upon him, Jim is forced to take on the exalted mantle of Trollhunter, sworn to protect the good trolls from powerful enemies bent on revenge. The first human ever to hold the honor, Jim abruptly goes from fighting his way through the daily mayhem of high school to joining a war that has raged for centuries, a conflict that now threatens all of mankind and troll-kind alike.
Accompanied by his closest human friends and a few key troll allies, the courageous fifteen-year-old must plunge headlong into a fantastical world of astonishing creatures, glorious cities, and fierce enemies desperate to destroy him. Suddenly destined to play a crucial role in an ancient battle of good and evil with stakes that couldn’t be higher, Jim is determined to save the world — right after gym class. DreamWorks’ Trollhunters is a heroic tale that uncoils with ambitious, complex storytelling and stunning visuals that raise the bar for animated series, creating an event series that will thrill the entire family.
Trollhunters hits Netflix on December 23rd!
