Plot

Stanley is a kindhearted troll with a magic green thumb that can create flowers with a mere touch. In the Kingdom of Trolls, all beauty is strictly forbidden and trolls are required to be mean and ugly and to scare humans whenever possible. As a result, Stanley hides all the flowers he finds or grows from the other trolls.

When Gnorga, the Queen of the Kingdom of Trolls discovers Stanley's secret, however, she locates a land comprised almost entirely of concrete and steel to teach Stanley a lesson. She then banishes him to Manhattan to live a life proper for a troll. Stanley lands in Central Park, and proceeds to hide himself away from the world.

Two children, Gus and his baby sister Rosie, accidentally find Stanley hidden under the bridge in Central Park, and he befriends them. After Gnorga discovers he is in Central Park surrounded by beauty and happiness, she follows him there to make sure her punishment is carried out properly. She kidnaps the children, which causes Stanley to finally stand up to Gnorga, and he rescues the children from her evil magic.

Production

The film was referenced (and channeled) in an infamous Saturday Night Live sketch with Alec Baldwin as Charles Nelson Reilly being interviewed by James Lipton (Will Ferrell) on Inside the Actors Studio.
