Fridge Brilliance
- Ms. Hallgrim's approval of Frida's actions in protesting against the bells makes sense on a few points:
- First, she wouldn't dispute Frida's criticism of the Safety Patrol's video's inaccuracy, because she has personally encountered trolls, and seen that they are not the mindless man-eating beasts that they are touted to be, as when Hilda handed the baby troll to its mother, it peacefully left.
- Secondly, the last time she tried to lecture a student, it turned out to her that the child was not actively being disruptive, but simply operated differently and was intelligent in their own way. She would be more receptive to different child behaviors in response to this.
- Lastly, Frida is generally a model student with parents who have high expectations, so she would be pretty lenient with the girl.
- Considering that David is ordinarily a scared boy who, from her perspective, didn't feel safe even with Erik Ahlberg around him in the wildernessnote , it would make sense that David's mother would join the safety patrol to try to make him feel safe. It also goes in line with the movie's Central Theme regarding a mother's love.
- Trylla was shown not to be angry with Hilda when she discovered that Hilda unknowingly released Trundle from his prison. Considering that Trylla turned Hilda into a Troll against her will and realized that she made a horrible mistake in doing so, Trylla knew that she shouldn't pass judgement onto Hilda.
Fridge Horror
- How is Hilda going to react when she finds out that the snow globe that she got for her mom in "The Yule Lads" got broken?
- Tontu stands right next to Hilda to hand her the backpack of clothes after she turns back to a human. Did he see Hilda without clothes on?
- While the movie ends on a high note, there is the uncertain implications that Hilda might have developed PTSD due to being turned into a troll against her will and being used as a pawn by Trundle.
