  • The Lady In The Van (2015)
    Review preview for The Lady In The Van

    Review preview for Trolls

    With their Day-Glo colours, singing and attitude to hugging, this is probably one of the few animations that will simultaneously appeal to the very young, any parents nostalgic for rave culture and grandparents who tuned in and dropped out.
