IMDb premise[]
"Hugo, having quit his TV show some time ago, is now a janitor in a smart hotel and lives with his human daughter, Squeaky, in the dark basement of the building. To Squeaky, this world is an adventure playground and troll or not, Hugo is her dad and he's the best dad in the world. After Hugo causes mayhem with a stunt at the hotel and further disaster with the Mayor at the town hall (all watched on TV by the locals), Hugo becomes the focus of unwanted attention from Ratchet from social services, who threatens to take Squeaky into care and away from him forever if he does not clean up his act and repay all the damages his little escapades have created. A janitor's salary won't cover it. What can he do?!
Hope comes in the unlikely form of game show producer Simone who recognizes Hugo from his disasters on the TV news. Simone has one vacancy on her new show and Hugo is the perfect, gullible troll she has been searching for. TV calls again and the prize money would repay his debts and get Squeaky back. What's to lose? Well, everything if the other contestants on the show have anything to do with it! Fredo the evil troll, a witch, a cupid with very sharp arrows, and a zombie Egyptian mummy will conspire to ensure Hugo will finish last. It's a mission impossible for Hugo. But with charming combination of innocence and disaster, Hugo takes the challenge and proves to everyone that love conquers all and that he's the best dad Squeaky could ever have (just as Ratched secretly suspected).
Embarrassing? Certainly. Dangerous? Obviously. En
tertaining? Definitely. An d funny? Always!"
