A Troll in Central Park (1994)
 
watch an animated film (also known as Stanley's Magic Garden) produced by Don Bluth Entertainment, a funny analogical fantasy about Stanley, a kind and gentle troll who, as a punishment for his magical skill to bring flowers to life at a touch of his green thumb in a place where by order of disgusting queen Gnorga "no flower shall grow, no face shall smile, no star shall glow, no heart shall care, noword be true, no rule be fair", is expelled from Kingdom of Trolls to Manhattan, New York City, a place of "rock and steel" such as King Llort it describes; but fortunately, Stanley reach Central Park.

Comment
In the vision of the film authors, the god troll Stanley is for his world what Central Park represents for New York City: "A perfect place where there is no doom and gloom, birds singing happy songs and flowers bursting into bloom. A somewhere like nowhere else you've ever seen..."
