The story
Queen Poppy and Branch make a surprising discovery — there are other Troll worlds beyond their own, and their distinct differences create big clashes between these various tribes. When a mysterious threat puts all of the Trolls across the land in danger, Poppy, Branch, and their band of friends must embark on an epic quest to create harmony among the feuding Trolls to unite them against certain doom.
What it’s like
Bright, saturated animation in candy pinks, electric blues and glittering neon-yellow, with the hair of every Troll rendered as a bouncing, glossy mass that catches the light in every frame. The camera moves constantly through busy, colour-packed sets: rainbow-lit concert stages, sun-washed forests, and a sequence of cloud-high vistas that feel wide and airy. Sound is the main event, with pop, country, funk, rock and bluegrass numbers stacked close together and sung with big, breezy energy, so the score rarely lets up for long. Its vibe is upbeat, sugary and loud, the kind of thing for a Saturday-morning, fun-for-the-whole-family watch, a sing-along on a long-haul flight, or noisy background during a weekend tidy-up. Pacing is brisk and bouncy, the emotional register stays light and affectionate, and the central arc follows two very different characters learning to find common ground and trust one another. Intensity is very low: mild peril and a few cartoon scuffles, with no gore, no real cruelty and no sexual content. It suits families, younger children, and anyone who wants a cheerful, music-filled escape with a warm, low-stakes heart.
