Trollz: Forgotten Y2K Gem

[@usasanas]

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone 😊This video didn't do so well when I initially uploaded it and I think its picking up traction because of the new trolls movie lol. I'm really happy that so many people are rediscovering this show because its lingered in the back of my mind for years and I noticed no one in the cartoon community was making videos about it. So I hope people keep talking about it and girly magical cartoons in general. The whole series is available on youtube too so dont hesitate to watch ! Thanks again for watching ! 🤗

It's been on my mind a long time too, maybe years. If it came back I would love to work on it.

Very sweet video, I can confirm I watched it because of the recent trolls movie

I used to LOVE Trollz as a kid. Pop Girl had it and so many other banger shows like Sleepover Club, the Jewel Riders and Horseland. I miss hyper girly and colourful shows like this.

Not really. Just got lost in the other Cool Girl media. There was a Bratz series, Winx Club, Totally Spies, W.I.T.C.H, on top of different live action media like Cheetah Girls. Or Anime’s like Nana. Not to mention like this video stated, the show network hopped.

I LOVED trollz, I rewatched it a couple of months ago and it's one if the best examples of what early 2000s girl media was: fashion talk, a group of friends that are all diferent stereotypes but they are besties, a simple magic system, having VERY obvious love interests, being the "weird group" but that always sticks together no matter what and general tween targeted school drama. It's such a no thoughts, head empty, just vibes show; it's a great time to watch if you want to just watch something and not use your brain for a while and not take it too seriously.

[@strabababerry]

this is a great description of the show, it's so simple yet so fun!

[@Homodemon]

Yessss, as a kid I loved this show. I was obsessed with the gemstone bead based magic system they had, then again I was the kind of kid that liked to collect small shiny stuff and glass beads so that part of my brain felt thoroughly acknowledged and validated

The long hair, the magical bracelets, the fact that they’re able to use magic. It almost like Dreamworks took a lot of inspiration from this show. Minus the belly button jewelry and the modern/futuristic but fantasy vibe. And the trolls from Dreamworks actually used their long hair to an advantage. Also the shows artstyle reminds me of Winx Club. Fantasy mixing in with modern/futuristic technology.

[@Lynx-tg6pr]

Don’t some of the current trolls right now have belly button gems?

[@clemontirl]

isnt the long hair just a trolls thing in general, even the og toys? regardless i do imagine some inspo was taken

[@stobie9063]

The toys invented the long hair lol. Also, trolls being magic prob preceded this.

[@aysmouse]

the original toys had long or funky hair (i remember turning mine into a star shape) and they always had the belly gems. the trolls movie took inspo from the toys not the show, the show just also took inspo from the toys obviously.

I even had a lunchbox/bottle that I took with me to school every day. Onyx was my gateway into goth fashion, which I'm still into to this day!

[@bitterflywing]

I've been thinking of making a season 2 since we were robbed This was grade a magical girl material.

[@VaylaRyan]

I’d watch it. I’m so desperate for another season of this show 😭

[@bitterflywing]

@@VaylaRyan I guess my comment got deleted... So season 1 starts off with 5 pure of heart freeing Simon While season 2 will introduce 5 women pure of heart, only pure evil So what do they want? Nymphs typically steal children but get bored with them once they grow up. Simon who doesn't age gets adopted as their nephew, so whatever Simon wants, his aunts will see that he gets it aka the crown. So it's basically the five girls of pure good vs the five women of pure evil I'd want the second season to start with a new school year since we didn't get a Halloween episode, so the girls can be 15 year old sophomores while the aunts are perpetually 30 since nymphs typically stop aging in their prime. I'm working on the script now and the comic will be up and running soon. You'll find it.

I can relate SO HARD with this i originally had the cd i used to have the cover of it but eventually it got lost i have vivid memories and it used to be my favourite but eventually i never found out the name and thought i had been hallucinating the entire time and gave up looking for it only too find this video

The nostalgia just hit me so HARD. I was always Topaz solely for the fact that it’s my birth stone😭

[@slimeys0daa]

LISTEN TO ME; this show was little me’s biggest obsession and I would watch it CONSTANTLY. I absolutely adored the concept of the magic beads they could use to cast spells and the style of the show is really cute. Being a kid who was super into art and character designs (and honestly still being super into it) this show just scratches an itch in my brain that I love so so much and it’s so good.

[@JL-vv7rf]

Idk if you watched 4kids or foxbox on TV but it was a programming block of just dubbed anime. It came on every Saturday morning. There was a show called magical do re mi and I feel like you would’ve liked it also. It was cute.

Brit here and every girl in my class was obsessed with Trollz when it was running. I've had the theme in my head for ages, and a lot of the arcs hit heavy nostalgia for me. I looked back on a few episodes out of curiosity and it was the sheer UNETHICALITY of the magic use that surprised me the most 😂 They mind control and forcefully change the appearance of so many people.

[@kurkkupastillitjalammintee]

I remember this! My first introduction to this series was a comic book (in Finnish) based on the first episode (with the panels probably being just screengrabs from the show), the logo on the front even had that glitter-glue-type stuff on it.

[@JohnDoe-tl4gm]

It would be interesting to see BFFL getting a cameo in some way in Dreamwork’s Trolls franchise. While the chance is very slim, they already fit the music category so they wouldn’t have to change them that much besides some design alteration. Edit: Forgot that Dreamworks made Trolls, not Pixar

[@enriqueramirez0615]

And by Cameo basically the original characters but with the new physical design, and placement within each Clans. For example: Ruby & Onyx as "Hard Rock Trolls", Sapphire as a "Techno Troll", Amethyst & Topaz as "Pop Trolls".

[@ondiiina]

@@enriqueramirez0615 Nah they could get away with making the two franchises linked. Have Trollz be set in a far away country or something to explain the difference in styles. The show already has a concept of different kinds of trolls and stuff, they could easily have a throwaway line to explain a small cameo. Or even easier: make it an in-universe show. Maybe even like Puffy AmiYumy (if that's the name?) where it's a fictional show loosely based on a real group and they made the opening theme. Could explain why their appearance in the movie wouldn't match their original designs!

[@ginevra3719]

I spent the last 15 years trying to recall this show like one would for a dream, not sure about the shapes of what you saw not sure if you really saw it or if you made it up and eventually you just give up and accept that you will never fully know if it happend or not.
