- Troll dolls. The originals were ugly, the current is annoying but this one was slay. I watched this show as a kid on youtube and its lived in the back of my mind as one of those cartoons that didn't seem to leave a lasting impact on anyone except me. Hope all three of you trollz fans enjoyed this video.

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 ! 🤗
This shit sucks
It's been on my mind a long time too, maybe years. If it came back I would love to work on it.
I was today years old when I learned that the 2016-ish reboot wasn’t the first time they were rebooted since the ‘90s.
hey girl I'm glad your videos are finally getting traction I find you late last year and I watch your cartoons to go to sleep to video. and your Canadian cartoons video so you're a good work.
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.
Pop girl doesn't exist anymore, I suppose why have a channel for one gender with pink and fashion based shows? Would you call Max and kix Boy channels?
Fr I miss shows like these😭
Pop Girl was literally my childhood 😅
Same
Same here, I loved watching Trollz on PopGirl growing up. I also remember other obscure shows such as Ruby Gloom, Missy Mila and Lazy Lucy (which was also on Tiny Pop) to name a few. Those were the days.
I remember seeing this. It launched as a pilot on Cartoon Network and then it disappeared afterwards.
There was a pilot?
@@Isaac-gh5ku I think so… or 4 episodes released as a debut of the series
I thought it was Toon Disney who did this
i remember it on Nickelodeon.
I remember it on a non cable network. So it probably depends on State/Country/Continent.
rebecca sugar really thought we wouldn’t notice this huh 😬
Like what else are you going to name rock aliens
at 7:00 you see the diamond thing
@@_lavender_pebbles_oh damn, u rite
@@_lavender_pebbles_ omg girl I didn’t see that before you ate
real
this show was just waaaaaay before its time
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.
@@ChillHills. Of all you mentioned, totally spies are where the girls, actually felt like, well, Girls, as typically portrayed back then.
@@ChillHillsk
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.
this is a great description of the show, it's so simple yet so fun!
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
Where were you able to rewatch it? I remembering seeing it as a small kid, but idk where to find it know
@@Shava. they uploaded all the episodes here on youtube, im not sure if they are still up
@@arsonmouse2511 ty!
I was literally OBSESSED with this as a kid. I had the dolls, was on the website every day, had all episodes on dvd and even had a subscription to the magazine. 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!
SAME ABOUT ONYX, I thought she was so cool as a kid and it definitely contributed to becoming a goth adult lmao
The website was my fav part of it!
YES. The website was so good and they looked cute on there!! I was on it all the time, so obsessed
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.
Don’t some of the current trolls right now have belly button gems?
@@Lynx-tg6pr probably. In the new movie.
isnt the long hair just a trolls thing in general, even the og toys? regardless i do imagine some inspo was taken
The toys invented the long hair lol. Also, trolls being magic prob preceded this.
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.
Oh my God. I was so obsessed with this show way back then. I had a CD with a bunch of episodes and my parents would get tired of me watching it. The amount of nostalgia I felt when I saw this on my recommendations.
SAME
SAMEEEE. I even had a game boy game of Trollz
Lol I used to watch this show nonstop as well. It was all I watched for a bit. Even now that I'm older nearing 19, I still hop over to binge it.
dude, when i was in high school i was 97% sure i'd hallucinated this show. i remembered watching it so vividly, but whenever our group started talking about what we used to watch, nobody knew about it. glad to be validated.
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
I've been thinking of making a season 2 since we were robbed
This was grade a magical girl material.
I’d watch it. I’m so desperate for another season of this show 😭
@@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.
The lore was pretty nice!!
careful of copyright lol
@@blitzie66 it's not for profit nor do I claim rights to it.
I would’ve loved if the beads got the Doremi treatment where the girls maybe had to use an allowance to afford spell beads (which adds a relatability to little kids who do get allowances AND gives us chances of episodes where they don’t have to rely on magic) and they need to be more precise and clear with the spell casting itself so it adds some chances with humor ESPECIALLY Topaz if she was the ditzy one
In one episode all the girls get beads for amethyst as a present since shes hesitant to stating "idk Grandma says they're expensive...." So it's possible the show had it in mind.
There were also PLENTY of moments where they did a spell wrong from not being clear.
@@JuanitoEsBonito OHHH alright alright cool! I didn’t know that!! I never watched the show ahh I really wish we got more of it regardless so it could be set solid in stone
The nostalgia just hit me so HARD. I was always Topaz solely for the fact that it’s my birth stone😭
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.
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.
Man the magical girl craze of the mid 2000's was really something. I remember thinking the spell beads concept was so cool too!
I was literally thinking about these trollz, particularly their website a day ago. Being able to make your own trollz was everything to my pre teen self.
I only saw Topaz and Sapphire once on paper dolls. Was obsessed with drawing Sapphire from memory after that
2:33
That's the most unenthusiastic Noo
And for that I legit laughed
The Goth troll definitely inspired my style and my way of life being the only black goth growing up in my city her character really made me feel special. I’ve always been this way, and I’ve always resonated with characters who are like this. The hex girls is a perfect example. I always love the name Onyx, because of her I actually recently named my dog Onyx.
She’s so cute, Ruby was my favorite troll though.
Onyx is THE icon of an generation of lil baby bats wanted to be her and other goth cartoon girlies.
You’d think Steven Universe would have been the catalyst for my obsession with gemstones as a kid. Wrong, it was this banger of a show. And while we’re at it, this show then sparked my initial interest in SU
This show looks so goofy i might actually watch it
My first thought when seeing the art style was pop pixies
I’m interested in it too! I was obsessed with Winx and Pop Pixie as a kid.
Frr
Hey, I remember watching this on CBBC back half my lifetime ago! Didn't see many episodes but it captured me for some reason.
Guess I'll add it to my 'hunt down and binge' list.
Its fully on youtube ! so you wont have to hunt hard lol
@@usasanas Oh eyyy, that's good then, saves me having to ready to click X on dumb allo ads XD
The animation mistakes are way harder to miss now we’ve grown up 😭
Yea I remember as well
THIS is the show i remember! I couldnt find it anywhere and started to gaslight myself that it never existed, but here it is!
I kinda like the designes ngl, the different shapped hairs are fun
Yeah!
It is NOT FORGOTTEN by me and it never WILL BE and it never HAS BEEN. Childhood memories ❤
The naming after gemstones and having them on the belly button 😭 inspo for steven universe?
LITERALLY
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
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".
@@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!
God I remember being obsessed with this show when I was a kid I never really liked girly things but I loved this show especially with the characters and how they blended together so nicely! Not to mention I loved the whole magical belly button gem idea!
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.
The memory of this show was absolutely locked away deep in my brain but as soon as I saw the thumbnail I returned to my beloved trollopolis.
I got the movie dvd at Marshall's so I feel special to be apart of a small niche y2k girly media fandom Onyx was my favorite
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. I watched the show in Finnish, I don't remember if the dub was any good but I was entertained nontheless. Great video, it is nice to see people talking about this :D
Katoin kans suomeksi! Dubbi oli iha hyvä mun mielestä. Rubyn ääninäyttelijä oli mulle tuttu witchistä corneliana ja winxistä icynä
SUOMI MAINITTU🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 (I also watched the Finnish dub)
Se suomalainen dubbi on legendaarinen, tää ja winx club on kyl mun lapsuuden helmet :D
Omg muita suomalaisia jotka muistaa tän sarjan! Löysin sen ite tossa jokunen vuosi sitten (okei siitäki voi olla melkee 10 vuotta jo) ja pakkohan se oli uusiks kattoa, ja kyllä mä sitä silloinkin ihan hyvänä pidin. Ei yllä joidenkin Disney-leffojen dubbien tasolle mutta ei se mitään kuraakaan ollut. Wernen dubbaus muistaakseni, ja ne on tehnyt mielestäni aina ihan perushyviä dubbeja lastenohjelmiin.
TROLLZ WAS MY CHILDHOOD!! I went on eBay last year and bought the first season on dvd just for the nostalgia and I love it so much 😭 whenever I bring it up to people, they have no idea what I'm talking about, but it was my absolute favorite thing as a child and even now when I'm nearing my 20s 🥲 my favorites were always Onyx and Ruby, though sapphire is super cute too 😭 definitely a series to rewatch
I like that even the teacher seemed annoyed by the nerd girl lol
I remember watching this show on netflix during the mid to late 2010s while eating nachos. Miss those days😔
I love how they didn’t even try to give the only other black character natural hair, like he’s just bald. No Afro or nothing just bald
They had the best website!! I never watched it on TV, I had a dvd with a few episodes on it. I also had the Onyx doll, and she wasn’t too ugly lol. I remember not liking the way the Ruby doll looked though. Loved seeing this blast from the past!
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. Until now... I feel like I can rest peacefully now
I watched this as a kid on Nickelodeon in Japan, hecking loved. Absolutely stunned there was only one season.
I loved this show when I was younger
We seriously need shows like this back, especially since it seems like children's media is getting taken more seriously. Girl shows with these types of premises will finally be treated properly.
All I remember about this show is how BADLY I wanted to eat the spell beads as a kid
(Also great video!! Keep up the good work!!)
I just remember playing the official make-your-own-Trollsona dress up doll game and thinking of my own better version of the show.
I used to watch this show when I was younger, so two things:
the show also aired in nickelodeon in Mexico and we used to have trollz dolls made by sonrics (candy company) and they were pretty accurate, I didn't even know they had official dolls.
.....did anyone else use candy bracelets the same as the troll beads when they were a kid 💀💀
I used barrettes. They looked close enough to the spellbeads as I can possibly think of
I loved this show 😍
I used to be obsessed with them. I never even watched the cartoon though.
every time a new Trolls movie is released I remember this show VIVIDLY
i literally remember this being my shit as a infant through toddler
lol, I remember watching some random episodes of this on tv as a kid but I thought I like dreamt it up or something cause I would forget about it and then randomly remember a scene but not remember where it was from XD
SAME this unlocked a childhood memory for me 😭
omg i had the dvd, i loved their gems
I LOVED this show but the only episodes I saw was on a CD and I was shocked to see them in school and seeing the villian because what I watched was the Pilot and the episode after that. I want to rewatch this one for nostalgia sake.
Oh God, this is such a throwback. I literally still have the VCDs for this series, albeit not enough for an entire season. I also loved the character design and I think it might have had influenced me as an artist a little bit, now that I think about it. The theme song is honestly such a bop too, we need to bring back actual songs as theme songs to the Western animation industry.
I had a dvd of this show as a kid and i liked it but always hoped for the episodes and plot to get better.😢 I recall being a world where girls were born with a personalized stones that gave them unlimited magic …… and all they did was go the mall, school and chase after boys who were mean to them. Why ??? Who ever wrote those episodes doomed the show
I loved this show and this video. I used to make my own trollz on the website all the time. I really want new dolls of this series. The original ones were butt ugly and I remember being so disappointed as a kid. I think it would also be cool if they released mini gacha box figures of the main characters.
Loved the Y2K version of the trollz and I would die of happiness if they had a cameo in one of the new Trollz movies.
shows writing seems like any standard poorly written 00s kids cartoon but i really like the character designs. the thick outlines on the characters and more angular facial shapes with stubby bodies are very fun. very 2000s.
I wonder what this show would be like if DreamWorks remade it
Ignore my original comment, I haven't watched dreamworks in years
I loved this show so much as a kid I actually went as Onyx for Halloween when I was in kindergarten ❤❤❤ Her and Amethyst were my faves. I especially loved that Onyx has wild curly hair like I do, though, and her sarcasm reminded me of my older sister at the time 😊 I still have a soft spot for this show and Trollz art style makes my heart melt ❤
I vaguely remember this show, and watching it with my sisters
I've never forgotten the Trollz dolls. I loved the cartoon and dolls. I had Onyx.
I saw one or two episodes of this when i was little, and figured it would just be something i would never find out what it was. Glad i found out what it was like 15 years later lol
I REMEMBER THAT SHOW I WAS LOOKING FOR IT AND THOUGHT I MADE IT UP WHATT
Their character designs were so fun! I don’t think I saw a lot of episodes (I dont remember Simon at all) but I used to like the website a lot as a kid I don’t remember what games it had at all lol
Nope I never forgot trolls 😌💯
I loved this show so much as a kid. I wished it was successful I really loved the designs and I adored Onyx.
Was first introduced to this series from a TikTok video. Can’t believe I never watched this growing up.
Because of the theme song for years I thought this show was called "Hair Things". I even call all my hair ties hair things because of this show. I miss it so much 💕
I remember watching this when it was aired on Nickelodeon in 2000s.
rhis show was my childhood, though i only owned the dvd that gave me like half of the episodes and i have never seen the rest ever since.
The full episodes are on CZcams for free if you want to watch it.
Oh man this gave me a whole load of nostalgia
I remember thinking how cool the character designs are and how interesting the concept was-- Glad to see it being talked about, thanks for this video
Oh my gosh I think I remember seeing a movie or the show or something when I was a child, and I’ve been occasionally thinking about it trying to remember what it was I watched cuz I LOVED it. I think you awakened an old memory of mine 😭😭
I remember watching trollz on pop girl or the amazing world of dic.
This has unlocked so many childhood memories. I watched this series A LOT it seems 😂
“How can we be Best Friends For Life if we’re not Best Friends right now!” Underrated question! Hit it, Topaz!
I remember playing on the trollz website where you could have your own troll girl, decorate a room , buy clothes and play minigames! I miss it still! It was my favourite website as a kid
You have unlocked such a deep memory from my mind
Thank you so much 😭
I remember owning one of the dvds as a kid
I freaking loved this show as a kid, and I honestly still love it now.
That theme song is ICONIC
My takeaway is that this was a show with pretty interesting characters, mediocre writing, and a really cool artstyle that's so unapologetically early 2000s which i really love. Oh and the theme song is indeed a banger!
I absolutely LOVED trollz as a kid! I rented the dvds so many times, I wanted to be Onyx SOOOO bad. Also I may have cried a little hearing the opening again since its been so long
I thought this series was really cute 😊 I loved the character designs
omgg i had the dvd playing on repeat with this show 😭
i used to have their game in gameboy advance i didnt watch the cartoon but i enjoyed the game
Thank you for the video
trollz had a virtual world like club penguin where you can have your own troll and explore the world. I really loved it and really liked the show as a kid lol
Why do I remember seeing this on 4kids?
I remember watching this when i lived in the US 😭😭 dammn, those childhood memories are coming back LOL
i’m pretty sure i’ve seen my sisters get into Trollz around that time. these kinds of videos have really been helping with memory recovery
I LOOOVED the PC game based off of them. Ruby was my fave! Thanks for reminding me of a fond childhood memory!
oh my GOD i KNEW I WASN'T BEING CRAZY ABOUT THIS EXISTING!!! as a child i loved watching this!! so many memories :')
I remember watching this when I was around 8 years old. It was my roman empire along with the Barbie tv-movie franchise. Thank you for covering Trollz
Wow, this is SUCH a specific memory
I never watched the Trollz series, I LOVE the designs, colors, and vibes of the show!
I loved this show growing up & had a huge crush on Alabaster. 😂
Aw man I totally would've done imaginary music videos to that theme song as a kid.
Topaz is so Lindsey from total drama coded
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CONCEPT OF THIS SHOW i’m so sad i didn’t see it when i was littleeee ALSO I LOVE THE BIG SHOES SLASH FEET (not bare though please that was a bit gross im scared of bare feet🙀) THATS HOW I DRAW PPL CAUSE I LOOVE HOW IT LOOKS ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR STYLE AAH and why are the characters like actually really good??! i love how they’re kinda american magical girls🤭
This is my childhood and as goofy as it is, I love it so much. It altered my brain chemistry, it inspired my aesthetic and I even went through watching the whole show again just to see it completely through and be immersed in the Y2K vibes I grew up with. I genuinely did like the story and characters at times and stayed invested in the friend group and their ups and downs. Big agreement on the second season though since the second half of the first was so rushed into being super lore focused and it even stressed the characters to points they just forgot to involve ones they introduced. It could've been so much cooler if they balanced it right.
Regardless this video reminded me of them and my childhood, and inspired me to draw a few things. Thank you.
I think I've seen a book on this. I barely remember it honestly, but I remember enjoying it and being obsessed with spell beads for a while.
ive been looking for Trollz for years. I thought it was a damn fever dream.
THIS!!!! I KNEW IT WASNT WINX CLUB!! I absolutely LOVED this show and watched it all the time when I was super little, hence my foggy memory of it, THANK TOU SO MUCH I WOULDVE NEVER FOUND IT WITHOUT YOU ^_^
