The director, Mike Mitchell, co-director Walt Dohrn and producer Gina Shay all worked together on “Shrek Forever After.”
The Troll doll phenomenon was born in 1959 when a Danish fisherman and woodcutter, too poor to afford a Christmas present for his young daughter, carved a doll for her based on the legendary Scandinavian troll.
Troll dolls became one of the biggest toy crazes of the 1960s and experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1990s.
