They obviously put this in the news in the hopes that someone would pick it up and run with it, so here goes: > **[Universal Orlando Now Has A Butt-Naked Troll That Farts Glitter At Guests](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/farting-glitter-troll-universal-orlando_n_5c57b1dde4b087104754a282)** > > Florida theme park takes interactive to a sparkly new level. > [@](#): > > Universal Studios Orlando has a new character in one of its theme parks with a very particular set of skills. > Guy Diamond, a troll from the “Trolls” animated movie, has a well-defined bare bottom that not only farts at guests, but fires off glitter when it does: Evidently this character appears in the movie (which, thankfully, I missed) where it does the same thing. Although it was a larger. more expressive cloud there. Obviously another sign of the decline of American civilization. And I thought current mytology had _unicorns_ as the ones farting glitter.

His name is “Guy Diamond”. According to his page on DreamWorks Wiki, : > [@](#): > > Like the other glitter trolls, he is able to fart glitter > **[Guy Diamond](https://dreamworks.fandom.com/wiki/Guy_Diamond)** > > Guy Diamond is one of the few naked trolls, the father of Tiny Diamond and a supporting character in the DreamWorks Trolls franchise. Guy Diamond is our resident “naked glitter Troll,” with heaps of body confidence and a unique idea of personal... So this is one of the _defining characteristics_ of his class of _Glitter Trolls_. Good to know. He also "Shakes off clouds of glitter when he dances, so he needn’t be flatulent to be source of annoying glitter [http://www.dreamworks.com/trolls/explore/trolls/guy-diamond](http://www.dreamworks.com/trolls/explore/trolls/guy-diamond) In the movie he’s voiced by Kunal Nayyar, who plays Raj Koothrappali on _The Big Bang Theory_ ---

I suppose it could be worse. In evaluating the movie _Trolls_, the Australian “Raising Children” network observed: > [@](#): > > Nudity and sexual activity > > Trolls has some nudity and crude body function humour. For example: > •The troll King takes off his clothes and has a bare bottom. > •The glitter troll is naked and can do glitter-farts. > •One of the creatures poos cupcakes. > **[Trolls](https://raisingchildren.net.au/guides/movie-reviews/trolls)** > > Our child-friendly review of Trolls (2016) has at-a-glance ratings to help you decide whether this movie is suitable for your child. If a troll offers you a cupcake, you might want to refuse. Same with unicorns and soft-serve. ---

> [@HMS\_Irruncible](#): > > You should see it, it’s funny and very tastefully done. I mean as much as a thing like that can be. I saw it kinda by force due to my toddler loving some of the music, and I was kinda shocked how decent it is. It has a decent and slightly unconventional story, integrates the musical numbers well, and has more inventive and interesting animation that I expect these days. Not a masterpiece, but definitely better than your average kids’ movie these days. ---

Honestly I just fell in love with the amazing felt rendering. I’m not sure even Pixar’s captured that very specific fuzzy fabric look. I mean, yeah, the story was fun, the characterization interesting, the music well integrated, yaddah yaddah. But _that felt!_ ---
