Poppy

Trolls is built on a real toy — the Danish good-luck troll dolls Thomas Dam started carving in the 1950s, which have gone in and out of fashion for seventy years — and the film's contribution is the colour and the music. Poppy is relentlessly optimistic in a way the film is smart enough to interrogate: her cheerfulness is treated as a discipline she maintains rather than a temperament she was born with, and the second act puts real pressure on it.

Who is Poppy?

Trolls is built on a real toy — the Danish good-luck troll dolls Thomas Dam started carving in the 1950s, which have gone in and out of fashion for seventy years — and the film's contribution is the colour and the music. Poppy is relentlessly optimistic in a way the film is smart enough to interrogate: her cheerfulness is treated as a discipline she maintains rather than a temperament she was born with, and the second act puts real pressure on it. Visually the property is the most saturated thing in mainstream animation, with a felted, hand-crafted texture that was genuinely difficult to render and is the reason it looks unlike anything else. The soundtrack, built on pop covers, produced a number-one single and drives much of the merchandising.

What Poppy looks like on a shirt

Signature motif: A pink troll with vertical magenta hair

Vertical hair is the entire silhouette and it is unmistakable — the design is essentially a colour and a shape. The felt-and-fabric texture is a distinctive treatment that translates unusually well to printed apparel.

Vertical hair is the whole silhouette — the design is essentially a colour and a shape. The felt-and-fabric texture translates unusually well to print. Very strong in girls' and toddler sizing.
