Hilda wakes up in the trolls’ cave dwelling, with a body made of stone. Baba’s mother used troll magic to swap the two, wanting to provide her daughter with the comfortable life of a human. Fans have been waiting for a year now to see that cliffhanger resolved.Īt the start of Hilda and the Mountain King, the film that caps the series’ second season, Hilda has become a troll, while Baba, the changeling troll-baby left in her place, has become a human toddler.
