Please visit scifi.stackexchange.com/tags/story-identification/info. It's got some more questions that might help you figure out more information. And, just to clarify, the trolls were animated, but the boy was live-action? Or was the entire world live-action?

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)?
From IMDb:
A young boy named Max has an active imagination, and he will throw fits if others don't go along with what he wants. Max - following an incident with Claire (his sister) and her friends, and following a tantrum which he throws as a result of his Mother paying more attention to her boyfriend than to him - runs away from home. Wearing his wolf costume at the time, Max not only runs away physically, but runs toward a world in his imagination. This world, an ocean away, is inhabited by large wild beasts, including one named Carol who is much like Max himself in temperament. Instead of eating Max like they normally would with creatures of his type, the wild things befriend Max after he proclaims himself a king who can magically solve all their problems.
Found by memory. Never seen it but I remembered the big furry things as well (and the funny pun in the translated title in my mother tongue, French).

@TheNate it's called Max et les Maximonstres in French, so something like Max and the Maximonsters in English, it being "punny" because that means the monsters are "maxi monsters", presumably some tough beasts, and their name beginning with "Max" (the protagonist's name, also in the title) implies they're Max's monsters. It's not really funny, but it's the kind of quip that would stuck in my brain ten years ago ;p
