For ages I skipped over TrollHunters on Netflix. It looked childish and the style seemed to rip off How to Train Your Dragon's aesthetic. One day I took the leap to watch the first episode and I was hooked from start to finish.
Make no mistake, this is a children's show. In the same way Avatar is a children's show. The themes explored are vast and almost unrivalled in the genre of children's animation. The voice acting is incredible and the animation is breathtaking.
Guillermo del Toro envisioned this, and you can tell. Some of the troll designs are horrifying (like Angor Rot or Gunmar), and the sense of fantasy mixed with danger is ever-present. There are a few small issues where the plot of the less important episodes falls into a routine, but these are almost unnoticeable.
Do yourself a favour, and watch TrollHunters.
