Warner Home Video (WHV) and DIC Ent. (DIC) have announced the release date for TROLLZ VOLUME 1: BEST FRIENDS FOR LIFE and TROLLZ VOLUME 2: MAGIC OF THE FIVE, the first two of nine planned movies from the newly launched Trollz property. Both full-length, made-for-video animated movies will be available in stores Sept. 6 and will retail for $19.98.
Trollz are the contemporary and stylized version of the world-famous spiky-haired characters originally created by Thomas Dam in Denmark more than 50 years ago. Todays Trollz have been updated by Estevan Ramos, fashion designer for talent such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
TROLLZ VOLUMES 1 and 2 focus on the adventures of five teenage best friends Amethyst, Onyx, Sapphire, Topaz and Ruby, each of whom is very different from the other. Each friend offers her unique style in personality, color, fashion symbol and gemstone. While each is different, they are best friends and together they form the Magic of The Five.
VOLUME 1: BEST FRIENDS FOR LIFE follows the colorful, big-haired adventures of the adorable, trend-setting Trollz gang as they learn a valuable lesson that strengthens their bond as friends. When jealousy leads to a spell gone awry, the five best friends learn about friendship and forgiveness and renew their vow to be Best Friends For Life (B.F.F.L) in the debut special.
VOLUME 2: MAGIC OF THE FIVE follows the stylish gang of best friends as they join forces in mutually casting a spell to help make their pal Coal be less of a klutz. There are, however, unexpected consequences, and the girls must travel to the Ancient World to find the remedy to set things right.
