Remember those weird little Troll dolls, with the colorful hair and the gemstones lodged in their belly buttons? Kind of? Then you'll be absolutely thrilled to hear that 20th Century Fox is adapting them into yet another big-budget children's animated movie. According to The Wrap, Trolls will "reveal the story behind the beloved, colorful nature of the Trolls' trademark, gravity-defying hair." Finally!

Director Mike Mitchell revealed that Trolls will star Anna Kendrick as Poppy, a Troll with "the exact mix of spirit, sass, and song that will no doubt give a whole new life to the iconic Troll dolls." Dare to dream.
