When Sofia meets the trolls that live below the castle, she learns that her father doesn't like them due to a misunderstanding from a few generations ago, and she's determined to get her father to learn the truth and get over his dislike.
Tropes
- An Aesop: Don't jump to conclusions until you have all the facts.
- Day Hurts Dark-Adjusted Eyes: Accordin to Gnarly, he and the trolls only come out at night because the sun bothers them.
- Once More, with Clarity: James' story of the trolls shows them making noise by banging their clubs outside the castle, and they get shooed off. When Gnarly tells the same story to Sofia, he says they were doing that because they were excited to see the stars and banging their clubs meant they were happy and worshiping them.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Sofia gives one to her dad when they get trapped in a underground cave, telling him that his grandfather jump to conclusions instead of getting to know the trolls, and told her father that he's no better for making the same mistake his grandfather made.Roland: Sofia, you knew about the rule. Why would you bring trolls in the castle?Sofia: Because everyone's wrong about them. They're not mean.Roland: Then why were they banging their clubs?Sofia: Because that's how they make music. That's what they were doing the night King Gideon saw them, making music. If he listened to them, he would have hear, but he didn't and neither did you tonight and now they'll never see the stars.
