The Giant Troll
Leslie also invented the giant troll based on Janice Avery, the bully from the school bus. Jesse initially found the footprint of the troll, and Leslie said if they had a troll hunter, they could track its scent and sneak up on it. Soon after Jesse buys Prince Terrien (P.T.) for Leslie, they make plans to track it down. P.T. discovers that its weakness is ticklish feet. At first, the appearance of the troll is a large collection of leaves in the shape of a human body. Later, it is revealed that the giant troll is based on Janice.
Towards the end of the movie, the troll, along with Janice, experiences a large change in heart and befriends Jess and Leslie.

Famous quotes containing the word giant:
“The point of the dragonflys terrible lip, the giant water bug, birdsong, or the beautiful dazzle and flash of sunlighted minnows, is not that it all fits together like clockwork--for it doesnt ... but that it all flows so freely wild, like the creek, that it all surges in such a free, finged tangle. Freedom is the worlds water and weather, the worlds nourishment freely given, its soil and sap: and the creator loves pizzazz.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
