电影《魔法精灵》的原型来自1960年代风行一时的玩具娃娃，不过这不是这部动画片里的唯一复古元素。请看本报周五的报道：

    “Trolls” is based on the ultra-popular Troll dolls from the 1960s, but they aren’t the only throwback in the animated feature.

    “Very early on, even before we had cast anyone, we knew this wanted to be a needle-drop musical,” explained director Mike Mitchell. The soundtrack is filled with nostalgia-inducing classics like Lionel Richie’s “Hello,” Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” and Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out.”

    报道中的throwback就是“复古”，例如：

    Being a sort of throwback to the Victorian age, she won’t go against her old dad’s wishes.

    她具有维多利亚时代的气质，不会跟老爸的意愿过不去。
