["The Other Side" by SZA and Justin Timberlake playing]
CLOUD GUY: Once upon a time, there were two Trolls.
-One was named Poppy. -Hey. How's it going?
CLOUD GUY: The other was named Branch.
What's up?
CLOUD GUY: Together, they saved the world.
TROLLS: Hooray!
CLOUD GUY: Poppy became queen.
Branch found his true colors.
And the two of them became best friends.
[imitates fireworks popping]
Boom.
And that was that.
Pretty cute, right? Not to me.
I'm the type of cloud that goes for... this sorta thang.
[dogs barking, yapping]
Mm.
Anyhoo, what Poppy and Branch didn't know is that their world was a lot bigger than they knew.
Like, a lot, lot, lot, lot bigger!

BARB: Hey, man.
There he is!
King Trollex of the Techno Trolls, right?
That's right. Who's asking?
Queen Barb.
Of the Hard Rock Trolls.
And I'm here to take your string, bro.
[plays loud ascending chord]
No way.
Ooh, don't do it, man.
If we lose our string, we lose our music.
You mean your bleeps and bloops?
Beep, beep, beep, beep-beep, boo.
[chuckles]: Yeah. That's not music.
Do you want to hear some real music?
Rockers!

Okay, okay, enough. Stop.
You're harshing the vibe we worked very hard to build to.
Oh, but by the end of my world tour, we're all gonna have the same vibe.
We're all gonna be one nation of Trolls, under rock.

[Trolls murmuring happily]
Hey! That was some fancy footwork, Cooper.
Some people just got it.
Biggie, Mr. Dinkles, you two were on fire!
Yeah, sorry about that, Queen Poppy.
[squeaks]
I'm digging that new anklet, Legsly.
Thanks, Poppy.
Kisses and donuts and sprinkles!
Ah, what a Troll.
Tiny Diamond, welcome to the family, little buddy.
Thanks, Aunt Poppy.
And thanks to this silver-haired daddy of mine for bringing me into this world.
Oh.
I never knew my heart could be so full.
Peace and love. Bless up.
Tiny and Daddy out.
Oh. Okay, bye.
Hey, uh, Poppy, there's something I was hoping to ask you.
I-I mean, I guess it's something I want to tell you, more so.
-Uh-huh. -Uh, but listen.
You could feel free to respond to it, uh, with an answer, i-if you wanted.
Sure. What's up?
Uh, what's up is I, uh, I-I-I-I-I-I...
I wanted to tell you that...
Uh...
[groans]
You're crushing it at this queen thing.
Aw, Branch, thank you.
Being a good queen is the most important thing in the world to me.
Other than being your friend.
[echoing]: Friend, friend, friend, friend, friend, friend, friend.
Uh, five it up?
Huh. That could've been better. Let's try that again.
O-Okay, one more.
Huh. For some reason, we can't seem to make a good connection.
-[Poppy chuckles, Branch sighs] -[Fuzzbert babbling]
Oh, yes, Fuzzbert!
-Now, that's a good connection. -[groans]
BIGGIE: [screams] Poppy, help!
-Ooh. -Poppy!
-[shrieking, gasping] -[wild grunting]
Watch it, watch it!
-Biggie? -TROLL: Oh, run!
-[Trolls clamoring] -[Biggie screams]
Help!
I'm being harangued by a monster! [gasps]
-Someone stop it! [shrieks] -[wild grunting continues]
Gotcha! Ah! It's in my hair! It's in my hair!
-Get it out, get it out, get it out! -[Branch yells]
[shushing]
There you go.
-[eyes boinging] -[purring]
There you go. Calm down.
Who's a good boy?
What is that thing?
It's creepy.
BOTH: It's scary.
[auto-tuned]: And nasty.
-Hold me, Daddy. -Oh.
"To Queen Poppy."
[Trolls gasp]
Oh, don't worry, everyone.
It looks like it's just an invitation.
-Whew! -[relieved murmuring, sighing]
Just an invitation.
-COOPER: I love invitations. -[clears throat]
"Barb, the Queen of Rock, "announces her One Nation Under Rock World Tour.
"Bring your string to the biggest party the world has ever seen."
-Queen of Rock? -KING PEPPY: It's nothing!
It means nothing at all. It's just junk mail.
You don't need to worry about it.
I mean, quit looking at it, everyone.
Forget what you saw!
[chewing noisily]
[Branch yells]
-[grunting] -[shushing]
-There you go. There you go. -[eyes boinging]
-Calm down. Calm down. -[purring]
[quietly]: There you go.
Okay, I'm calm.
I'm calm.
Dad, what's going on?
Well, I have long feared this day would come.
I was hoping to protect you from this, Poppy.
Protect me?
I'm not a little kid anymore, Dad.
I'm the queen now.
You're right.
The truth is we are not alone in this world.
[eerie warbling]
-[warbling stops] -[stammers, shushes]
There are other kinds of Trolls.
-TROLL: What? -Wow. That's...
Dad, that's great.
The more Trolls, the merrier.
You don't understand.
These other Trolls aren't like us.
They're different.
Different how?
Different like Legsly?
I love being me.
-Or Fuzzbert? Or Smidge? -[Fuzzbert babbling]
Or Skyscraper Troll?
[in unison]: Yeah, different like me?
No, it's not that.
They're different in ways you can't even imagine.
-[vocalizing pop music] -You see, we love music with a hummable hook, with an upbeat melody, with a catchy rhythm that makes you want to snap your fingers, tap your toes and wiggle your butt.
That's our music.
That's what makes us Pop Trolls.
-Ooh. -It is. -Yes.
But these other Trolls, they sing different.
-[gasping] -They dance different.
Why, some of them can't even begin to grasp the concept of Hammer Time.
["U Can't Touch This" playing]
You can't touch that!
[screaming]
[Trolls clamoring]
-[crying] -[crying]
[screaming]
-♪ Stop. -[music and clamoring stop]
How about we break down to a smaller group?
[birds chirping]
It's a story as old as time.
[clears throat]
In the beginning, there was silence.
[singsongy]: Boring.
KING PEPPY: Until one day, someone made a sound.
-[plays note] -[Trolls oohing]
Our ancestors were so inspired by the sound, -they took six strings. -[melody plays]
And those six strings had the power to control all music.
They could play anything.
[harp strumming]
-[different styles playing] -Techno, funk, classical, country, hard rock and pop.
And every kind of music in between.
There was something for everyone.
It was one big party.
TROLLS: Yay!
KING PEPPY: But little by little, Trolls became intolerant of each other's music.
-[Trolls arguing] -TROLL: I want it!
-I want to listen to techno! -No fair!
Hey, y'all, I want country.
KING PEPPY: They fought over what kind of music the strings would play.
The elders realized there was but one solution.
TROLLS: Blah, blah-blah-blah-blah. Agreed.
KING PEPPY: Each tribe would take a string
-and go their separate ways. -[Trolls chattering]
Those six tribes have lived in isolation ever since.
Techno, Country, Rock, Classical, Funk, and us, the Pop Trolls.
Now Barb's announcement makes sense.
She wants to reunite the strings so the Troll World can be one big party again.
Wait, that's all you heard?
-One big party? -[chuckles]: Yeah!
It's when all the Trolls lived in harmony.
And what's more important than living in harmony?
Well, I heard fighting.
The strings together leads to fighting.
KING PEPPY: Exactly, Branch.
That's why we need to keep our string safe.
♪
Behold!
The pop music string.
FEMALE STRING VOICE: ♪ Oh, yeah.
-[Trolls gasping] -[magic jingling]
It's beautiful.
KING PEPPY: And powerful.
Which is why we can't let it fall into the wrong hands.
And we won't. Not on my watch.
What we need is a plan.
Don't worry.
I've been preparing for this day for years.
-We run. -Run?
And hide.
On it.
But we don't even know what we're running and hiding from.
We're hiding from Barb and all the other different Trolls.
POPPY: You're assuming the worst about someone you haven't even met.
-You're not listening to me. -You're not listening to me.
-I'm your father! -And I'm the queen.
Uh, father trumps queen.
Now, there's no time to debate this. Let's go.
Come along, Branch.
Well, I, um...
We're all Trolls.
Differences don't matter.
[growling]
Oh, look how cute you are!
Barb is gonna love your new look.
Tell her I look forward to helping her plan the world's biggest party.
-Poppy. -[screams]
-What are you doing? -Oh. Nothing.
SHEILA B: Ooh!
Poppy's busted.
[shushing]
BRANCH: Sneaking out to meet Barb?
Headed into enemy territory?
She's not the enemy.
She's a queen, the same as me.
-[growling] -[grunting]
Bye-bye, little bat.
Your dad just told us that Queen Barb is bad news.
Well, my dad doesn't know everything.
He knows more about this.
You didn't even know there was a string until this morning.
He may be fine in a world where everybody lives in isolation, -but I'm not. -Well, but we don't know anything about the other Trolls.
Well, we know they're Trolls.
Branch, look around Troll Village.
Everybody's different, even us.
[distant sneeze]
Oh.
Did you hear something?
Stop trying to change the subject.
Look, being queen means having a lot of power, and it's my job to use it for good.
I can't stay home when I know there's a world full of different Trolls out there just like us.
[sighs] This is a terrible idea that will most likely blow up in your face.
-Okay, bye. -What?
[groans]
[grunts]
And I guess I'm coming with you.
[sobs]: Oh! Thank you.
I really didn't want to go by myself.
-Road trip! -Yeah!
♪
They areall different.
[gasps softly] A-And this one looks a little bit like me.
[gasps]
We even have the same hat!
[echoing]: ...same hat, same hat, same hat!
♪
Goodbye.
I hope I see you again, friends.
But even though it's scary, I have to go out there and see if there's other Trolls like me.
[shrieks]
Oh, man, this is gonna be hard.

Dad? Where's Dad?

There you are, Dad.
-I got the Techno string. -Cool.
-What's a string ag-again? -[back-up alarm beeping]
What? Uh...
-Don't you remember the plan? -Plan?
-I don't remember... [mumbles] -Oh.
-Great idea, man. -Whoa.
Okay, guys, line up.
We're gonna go over the plan again.
[Trolls murmur, chuckle]
Okay. We're on a World Tour.
And on each stop, we get a new string.
When I have all six strings, I'll play the ultimate power chord.
[electric guitar chord plays]
And I will unite the Trolls under one music.
Our music!
-TROLLS: Rock! -[excited chatter]
Oh, here it comes.
[grunting slowly]
Uh, just a little bit more.
Riff, just help him, man.
Yes, Your Rockness.
Aw.
There it is.

-Rock and roll! -Yeah!
[both laugh]
Yeah!
[inhales deeply]
-[sighs] -All right.
In a short 456 pages, I'm gonna know how to fly this thing.

Biggie?
Oh, hello.
Sorry. I couldn't help myself.
You know how I am around cotton candy.

Now look what's happened.
Mr. Dinkles got all gummed up.

Mr. Dinkles!
Oh, there you are. I thought you were--
Oh. Right, then. We'll just be on our way--
[screams] Hey!
Poppy, wh-where are you balloon-flying us to?
We're on a mission to help Barb unite the Trolls, and I'm so glad you're coming with us.
I did what in the who now?
Hey, man, join the club.
And I hope you didn't eat all the cotton candy, because Barb is gonna love it.
[clears throat] Branchifer?
[clears throat] Y-Yes, Poppifer?
-What is this? -Oh, it's nothing, nothing.
-That-that-that-that's just my man stuff. -[gasps]
I love man stuff!
Weapons?
Ugh. For shame.
Well, I-I...
Violence never solves a problem, Branch.
-[squeaks] -[shrieks]
I'm not saying we have to use them.
I'm just saying it's better to be prepared in case we need them.
We won't need them unless these pointy sticks help you listen or these rocks help you put yourself in someone else's shoes.
And what about these? Is this-- What, I--
Is this some kind of jewelry?
Oh, it's actually kind of cool-looking.
♪ Oh.
Gi-Give me that.
We don't even know what's out there.
Wait! No-- Oh, man.
By the way, I whittled those for hours.
Branch, the only weapons we need are this guy and this guy, for hugs!
Uh, you may want to take a look at this.

W-We're nice. We're really nice.
Yeah, but not too nice.
So don't even try it.
Okay.
[softly]: Oh. Hi.
What is this place?
It used to be called Symphonyville.
[coughs]
Where the Classical Music Trolls lived.
But that was in the before.
What happened here?
Well, it was the most wonderful place you ever did seen.
[lively classical music playing, chatter, laughter]
It was a place where all of the Classical Music Trolls could live in perfect harmony.
[classical music continues]
[laughs]: Ooh.
Wherever the conductor led, we followed.
Play, play. [vocalizes] Beautiful.
-[laughs] -But then Queen Barb showed up.
Oh, no.
'Sup, Trollzart dude?
I'm here for your string.
We will not go quietly.
[playing Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in C Minor"]
-[triangle dings] -[Barb snores]
[sighs]: Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi.
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, I-I must have fallen asleep, because your music is so boring.
[scoffs]
Where are the words, bro? Right?
Now give me your string.
[amplifier buzzes, hums]
[playing Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in C Minor"]
-Oh! Oh! -[Trolls gasping]
[sighs] No.
PENNYWHISTLE: She took our string.
Our-our music.
She took everyone.
[wind whistling softly]
We lost everything.
Barb doesn't want to unite us.
She wants to destroy us.
We need to make sure our own string is safe.
Uh, our string is safe.
What?!
Poppy, are-are you crazy?
I thought it was a good idea at the time.
I-I can't believe another queen would use her power for evil.
Okay. Change of plans.
We need to get home as fast as we can and get everyone in the bunker.
Uh, no. Change of plans.
We have to stop Barb from destroying all music.
If we don't stop her, who will?
Poppy, you said this could be handled with hugs.
How are we gonna hug our way out of this one?
-It's okay, Biggie. -Really?
It's okay to be terrified?
When am I gonna learn to stay away from the cotton candy?!
No.
As your queen, I promise that I will protect you, no matter what.
I... pinky promise.
[gasps]
Poppy, you know you can't go back on a pinky promise.
Never did, never will.

Dang.
Let it be so.
And so it is.

This just got real.
POPPY: We have to get to the Country Music Trolls in Lonesome Flats before Barb does.
Will you come with us?
Oh, no.
Someone has to rebuild.
And Pennywhistle is that woodwind for the job.
[grunts]
Good luck, little Pennywhistle.
Goodbye, Poppy.

Wait. Is that...
-Debbie? -Oh, what?
-Oh, that's a lot of glitter. -BARB: No!

-What is this? -What, what...
Pop Trolls?
[clears throat]
"Dear Barb, can't wait to meet you.
I have tons of great party ideas."
I like that.
"Maybe you and I can even be best friends."
Best friends?
Is she making fun of me?
No one says that.
Friendship takes time and years of mutual care and respect.
You don't just become best friends.
Plus, everyone knows I already have a ton of friends.
Like Carol.
Right, Carol?
Okay, you're busy. That's fine.
Love you, Carol.

Poppy, I mean no disrespect, but king to queen, anything but that.
Why not?
[electrical click, hum]
Let's tell 'em how it was, Prince D.
Sick.
Long ago, our world was without song or dance.
Then the Trolls found the strings, and life was one big party.

KING QUINCY: And the Trolls never lived in harmony again.
So the Trolls live in isolation because of what Pop did?
Pop tried to destroy our music.
Just like Barb is trying to do.
I can make it right.
History's just gonna keep repeating itself until we make everyone realize that we're all the same.
But we're not all the same.
It's why all our strings are different.
Because they reflect our different music.
Denying our differences is denying the truth of who we are.

BIGGIE: Legsly, I told you not to wear your anklet.
Only Rock Trolls are allowed back here.
Well, it's funny you should mention that, because we are genuine Hard Rockers.

Cool.
Hurry up. The show's about to start, man.
Queen Barb's about to go onstage.
We're screwed.
-[rock music playing] -[crowd cheering]
BARB: So, Popcorn, is being my best friend everything you could have ever dreamed of?
-[grunts] -[Barb and Trolls laugh]
I am not your best friend.
You don't have to be embarrassed. I get it.
Being queen can be kind of lonely.
CROWD [chanting]: Barb! Barb! Barb! Barb! Barb!
[chanting fades]
There's all this pressure to be a great queen.
And instead of real friends, you're just surrounded by people who just tell you what you want to hear.
You know, other than your terrible taste in music and clothing and general lifestyle, you and me are the same, Popsqueak.
Uh... [scoffs] No, we're not.
We're both queens who just want to unite the world.
You don't want to unite the world.
You want to destroy it!
Nuh-uh. No way.
No. I don't know who told you that.
Music has done nothing but divide us.
Now that I have the final string, I can make us all one nation of Trolls, under rock.

[electricity booming]
[crowd cheering, whooping]
Give it up for your former leaders.
Funk, Country, Techno, Classical...
[crowd booing]
...and worst of all, Pop.
[booing continues]
[electrical crackling, whooshing]
Who wants to see what the ultimate power chord can do?
[crowd cheering, whooping]
No. No!

[Sheila B whoops]
Ha! I guess a giant comprehensive manual does come in handy.
Bla-dow! Just in time!
Branch!
Well, isn't that puke.
Poppy's little boyfriend came to crash the concert.
Too late, Branch.
Wait!
Branch!
[crowd murmuring quietly]
No.
[crackling]
Branch.
Rock on!
[crowd cheering]
Oh, sick! Totally works.
Who's ready to get rippin' tattoos everywhere but our faces in case we still need office jobs?
Rah!
You're turning everyone into rock zombies?
Yep. I can't wait to party with you, Poppy.
[rock music playing]
-[grunts] -Rock and roll!
Dude.

What are you doing?
You're supposed to be a rock zombie!
Gumdrops.
Soundproof and delicious.
-[gulps] -[Trolls groaning in disgust]
[Southern accent]: She learned that from watching me.
Give me that!
I'm not gonna let you do this to anyone else!
A world where everyone looks the same and sounds the same?
That's not harmony.
RIFF: Hey, Barb?
Hi.
Maybe Queen Poppy has a point.
If we all look the same, act the same, dress the same, how will anyone know we're cool or something?
-[crowd murmuring] -TROLL: Yeah. He's got a point.
A good point.
A good queen listens.
Real harmony takes lots of voices.
[grunts]
Different voices!
[loud whooshing]
[loud musical rumbling]
[rumbling stops]
POPPY [quietly]: Oh.
[Branch grunts]
Branch!
No.
[quiet electrical jingling and whooshing]
My strings.
[panting]
What have you done?
You've destroyed music!
-[crowd gasping, murmuring] -Give it up, everybody.
Thanks to the Queen of Pop, we've all lost our music.
History repeats itself.
Pop has ruined everything.

[clapping and tapping to rhythm]
[crowd clapping and stomping to rhythm, excited chatter]
-[music stops] -[heartbeat continues]
Queen Barb can't take away something that is inside us.
Because that's where music really comes from.
It started with the strings, but now it comes from us.
[Trolls vocalizing melodically]
Yeah, it comes from our experiences.
Our lives.
Our culture.
[melodic vocalizing continues]
Beautiful. [laughs]
Listen to that.
Barb can't take that away.

I love you guys.
Dad, I should've listened to what you had to say and not run off like that.
I'm so glad you didn't listen to me.
You weren't naive about this world.
You were brave enough to believe things can change.
Braver than me.
I raised Poppy to be strong and self-confident.
I was a genius. [grunts]
Ha! Ha! Yeah!
[crowd cheering]
[grunting]
Well, now that you're not forcing me, I hope we can be friends.
Yes!
Did you hear that, Carol?
We have a girl group now!
A girl group? Nice!

Yeah! Carol! [laughs]
She's psyched.
Branch, I love that we're different.
And I love you, Queen Poppy.
I love you, too, Branch.
Shall we?
-Yeah! [whoops] -Yes!
-Now, that's a good connection! -[laughs]
POPPY: In the beginning, we were divided.
["The Other Side" by SZA and Justin Timberlake playing]
Our ancestors thought we were just too different to get along.
It turns out they were wrong.
Very, very wrong.
ANCESTOR TROLL: We're sorry.
POPPY: You have to be able to listen to other voices, even when they don't agree with you.
-[Trolls sigh] -[hands clap]
They make us stronger, more creative, more inspired.
So whether your song is sad and heartfelt, loud and defiant, or warm and funky, or even if you're a little bit of each, it's all these sounds and all our differences that make the world a richer place.
