Co-writer and co-director Gary Goldman said during an interview that the reason the movie did so poorly at the box office was the fact that it was released without any promotion, and that release was limited. He also stated that its distributor, Warner Bros., did not have any confidence in this movie.
Both this and Thumbelina (1994) were in production simultaneously at Don Bluth Studios in Ireland. Initially, "Troll" was to be released first, followed by "Thumbelina," but it was then decided to release the latter first as it was a pre-sold commodity given its origins as a Hans Christian Andersen fairy-tale.
According to Don Bluth, Cloris Leachman arrived in the recording studio with a canister of her homemade barley soup, and seeing the crew members eating take out hamburgers and fries, immediately began lecturing them on healthy eating. She even snatched Don Bluth's chocolate eclair and tossed it in the trash. Bluth said this helped establish Queen Gnorga's character - 'a screaming monster who'd steal your chocolate eclair.'
This movie was originally scheduled to be distributed by MGM in the United States and J&M Entertainment overseas, but both companies ended up dropping the arrangement, due to concerns about the bankruptcy of Bluth's studio. Warner Bros. subsequently bought the distribution rights in March 1993.
The music for "The Old Soft Petal" is the dance break from "I'll Never Be Jealous Again" from the musical "The Pajama Game".
"Stanley: Don't you know that dreams are fragile things?"
"[first lines] [Stanley runs and bumps into a troll from behind] Troll: Hey! Watch yourself! [Stanley accidentally grows a flower] Troll: Say, what was that? [the troll laughs as Stanley drops his bag behind him and the flower jumps in] Troll: Oh, for a minute, I thought I saw one of them, um, um, uh, flower things. [the troll laughs] Troll: That's a relief. I'd sure hate to have to tell the queen. Oh, well, have a rotten day! [as the troll walks off, Stanley picks up his bag and waves] Troll: [singing] I'm a bad troll, a very bad troll. [Stanley's thumb lights up and he quickly hides it behind his back]"
