10 Animated Movies That The Next Generation Will Likely Miss

9. A Troll In Central Park (1994)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUhrFgs5knU A troll, Stanley, who lives in an enchanted land and likes growing flowers, is exiled by the evil queen to Manhattan, where no one is happy, so he can learn to be evil and rejoin his world. The troll is just too nice and, as fate would have it, he is exiled right into Central Park, a diamond in the rough of a metropolis, where he meets two children who befriend him (kinda). The evil queen comes to Manhattan after she catches wind that Stanley is, in fact, still happy, in order to destroy him, his new friends, and Manhattan itself. Sound familiar? How about the semi-recent Disney hit, Enchanted? Except, swap out the troll for a gorgeous, singing princess and, instead of growing flowers, she believes in happy endings. Much more relatable for children. I have a soft spot in my heart for this film because I grew up with it. For today€™s kids who grew up with Enchanted, they€™ll have a soft spot for that movie when talking about whatever new combination of main character and true desire being destroyed by NYC and the people who live there is thrown up on the screen. Which raises a question: why is Manhattan the place where fairy tales are sent to die? Seems a bit stereotypical... If Warner Brothers had given this movie more publicity, it wouldn€™t be €œthat movie, oh man, yeah. That movie with the...wait, what happened again? Oh right, right. Loved that!€, but it is.
