Cornelia Funke recommends
Trollhunters (2015)
Daniel Kraus and Guillermo del Toro
"The young want stories that do not lie about the shadows under beds and bridges - and in human hearts. TROLLHUNTERS teaches us about both kinds. About true friendship, grim and slimy heroes, the strength of outsiders- and the courage it takes to face everyday life."
