Premise

From the limitless imagination of acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro comes a tale of two worlds set to collide in the epic saga DreamWorks Trollhunters. When ordinary teenager Jim Lake Jr. stumbles upon a mystical amulet on his way to school one morning, he inadvertently discovers an extraordinary secret civilization of mighty trolls beneath his small town of Arcadia. Suddenly destined to play a crucial role in an ancient battle of good and evil, Jim is determined to save the world – right after his gym class.

Trivia

  • The only phone number used throughout the series is 555-0101.
  • Trollhunters was originally planned to be a feature film, but eventually DreamWorks decided to instead turn it into a series and later a trilogy called Tales of Arcadia.
  • Currently, Trollhunters has the most seasons (3) and most episodes (52) out of all the installments released.
  • Trollhunters provides to be a good example of the classic story structure "The Hero's Journey", established by Joseph Campbell. It refers to a wide-ranging category of tales in which a character ventures out to get what they need, faces conflict, and ultimately triumphs over adversity. The following steps correspond to the following moments in the series (as there are various depictions of the Hero's Journey). The following uses the 12-step example:
    1. Ordinary World: Jim Lake Jr. is living a typically average teenage life in Arcadia Oaks
    2. Call to Action: Jim finds the Amulet of Daylight in the canal
    3. Refusal of the Call: Jim attempts to rid himself of the amulet, but with no success as it is permanently bonded to him and he cannot refuse the mantle
    4. Meeting the Mentor: Jim is properly introduced to Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!!
      • Admittedly, the third and fourth steps are out of order, regarding to how the cycle of the Hero's Journey is traditionally depicted. In this case, Jim first meets his mentors BEFORE he tries to refuse the call.
    5. Crossing the Threshold: Jim visits Heartstone Trollmarket for the first time and eventually, and formally, accepts his role as the Trollhunter
    6. Tests, Allies, and Enemies: Jim's various encounters with many obstacles, challenges, and conflicts while facing off against numerous monsters, creatures, and antagonists (Bular, Stricklander, Angor Rot, Gunmar, Morgana, etc.), as well as expanding his list of friends/allies (Toby, Claire, Blinky, AAARRRGGHH!!!, Draal, Vendel, Gnome Chompsky, NotEnrique, etc.)
    7. Approach to the Inmost Cave: Jim encountering Merlin in his tomb while learning more about the latter's former apprentice-now-archenemy, Morgana, and her ambition of bringing forth the Eternal Night
    8. Ordeal, Death, and Rebirth: Jim's ultimate decision regarding his transformation into a human-troll hybrid (practically facing his deepest fear of losing his humanity for the sake of ensuring the safety of the world and his loved ones)
    9. Reward (Seizing the Sword): Jim coming into terms with his newfound powers and accepts his new form
    10. The Road Back: With newfound confidence, Jim takes on and kills Gunmar in Arcadia during the Eternal Night War
    11. Resurrection: Team Trollhunters take on and defeat Morgana, ending the Eternal Night
    12. Return with the Elixir: Jim sets off to New Jersey with the trolls, Blinky, Nomura, and Claire, but promises to return to Arcadia someday
