However, they are discovered by the Bergens, large miserable creatures, who can feel happy only after eating a Troll. The Bergens imprison the trolls and eat them every year on a special occasion, called Trollstice. The Trolls, led by their King Peppy, with his baby daughter, Princess Poppy, escape through underground tunnels on the day of trollstice, when young Prince Gristle was going to eat his first Troll. Enraged, Gristle 's father King Gristle Sr. banishes his Chef who was in charge of the Trollstice preparation. 20 years later, Poppy, throws a big party to celebrate the Trolls ' escape, despite the fears and warnings of the grey troll, Branch, that loud parties will attract the Bergens. A Zen troll Creek arrives, and tells Branch to start being happy, instead of being grumpy, but Branch refuses. At the party, Branch 's fears come true, when Chef sees the fireworks and captures some Trolls. Alone inside the bunker, we see Branch looking at a bunch of homemade party invitations, indicating that he does want to go to the parties. Meanwhile, Poppy goes on a rescue mission alone, as no other troll is willing to venture to Bergen Town, including Branch. But later when Poppy gets into trouble, She is saved by Branch, who thinks she will not make it if she goes alone. Once inside the Bergen prince 's castle, Poppy and Branch witness Creek, one of the Troll hostages, apparently get eaten by the now King Gristle, but Poppy remains hopeful that Creek survived. Poppy and Branch find the rest of the captured Trolls, being guarded by a scullery maid named Bridget. Poppy discovers that Bridget is in love with King Gristle and offers to help her get a date with the king while trying to confirm if Creek is alive. While setting her up for the date, Branch refuses to sing and triggers a big argument with Poppy, revealing that, as a child, his grandmother was killed while trying to save him, because his singing compromised his location to Chef. His guilt caused his color to turn from blue to grey. After Poppy comforts him with a hug, Branch decides to help Bridget and the trolls. Bridget, disguised as Lady Glitter Sparkles gets her date with Gristle, at a roller rink and arcade restaurant and Gristle asks her to be his `` plus one '' at Trollstice. Poppy notices Creek being held captive, in the jewel adorning the king 's mantle. Having helped Bridget, the Trolls attempt to rescue Creek from Gristle 's room and steal his jewel, but discover that it is empty. The Trolls are then captured by Chef, and are shocked to discover that Creek sold them out to the Bergens, to spare himself from being eaten. Creek then lures out every troll from Troll village, and they are captured by Chef and the other Bergen cooks. With all the Trolls captured and soon to be eaten, Poppy loses hope as she and all the other Trolls turn grey when she starts to cry. Branch sings True Colors for Poppy to cheer her up, and also confesses his love for princess. Poppy, after regaining her colors, reciprocates his feelings, and they end up restoring all the trolls ' colors including Branch 's. Bridget liberates the trolls, willing to sacrifice herself for them. Poppy wishes to return the favor and with Branch and her friends, shows the Bergens that Bridget was Lady Glitter Sparkles and explains that they can find happiness, within themselves instead of eating the Trolls. Chef however, refuses to accept the peace, tries to kill Poppy and Branch, but is knocked into a serving cart that is sent rolling out of Bergen Town, on fire with Creek in her pouch and ( in the mid credits ) are consumed by a giant monster. Both species celebrate, bringing new life to the town and renewing the life of the troll tree. Poppy is declared queen, and she and Branch share a romantic hug.

Lindsey Bahr of Associated Press gave the film a positive review and said, `` Ultimately, the ' get happy ' moral of the story, while trite compared to something like Inside Out, is sufficiently sweet enough for its audience.

'' Andy Webster of The New York Times said, `` Exuberant, busy and sometimes funny, DreamWorks Animation 's Trolls is determined to amuse. '' The Hollywood Reporter called the film `` an admittedly vibrant - looking but awfully recognizable animated musical comedy concoction. '' Alonso Duralde of TheWrap said the film `` combines the barely - there characterization and irritating cutesiness of The Smurfs with the hideous character design and awful pop covers of Strange Magic. '' Betsy Bozdech of Common Sense Media gave the movie 4 stars. She said, `` Make no mistake : Kids are going to love this movie. Trolls is cute, it 's colorful, it has tons of catchy songs, and the messages are positive and easy to understand ( happiness is inside everyone, if you know where / how to find it, and you should n't have to change who you are to get someone to like you ).
