In the film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the Skirmish in the Trollshaws is a brief fight between Thorin and Company and the three Stone-trolls Tom, Bert, and William during the start of the Quest of Erebor. Bilbo attempts to retrieve the stolen ponies from the Trolls, when he is spotted. The company of Dwarves rush to his aid and gain the upper hand in the fight, until the trolls grab Bilbo and tell the Dwarves "Lay down your arms, or we'll rip his off!"
The Trolls put the Company in sacks and start discussing methods to cook them, before Bilbo stalls them by saying they are all infected by parasites. This buys the company enough time for Gandalf to show up, crack the rock he's standing on, flooding the tolls camp with sunlight and turning them to stone.
