Trolls (movie)

Trolls is a 2016 American 3D computer-animated musical comedy film based on the dolls created by Thomas Dam for his Good Luck Trolls franchise. It is the first film in the DreamWorks Trolls franchise. It was directed by Mike Mitchell with co-direction by Walt Dohrn, produced by Gina Shay, and written by Jonathan Aibel, Glenn Berger, and Erica Rivinoja. The film stars Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Zooey Deschanel, Christine Baranski, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Russell Brand, Jeffrey Tambor and James Corden. It revolves around two Trolls on a quest to save their village from destruction by the Bergens.
The film's first teaser was held at the Licensing Expo 2015.https://www.rotoscopers.com/2015/06/08/first-look-at-dreamworks-trolls-revealed/ Produced as the 33rd full-length animated feature by DreamWorks Animation, the film premiered on October 8, 2016 at the BFI London Film Festival, and was theatrically released in United States cinemas on November 4, 2016, by 20th Century Fox; it followed the production of DreamWorks' previous Trolls concept. A sequel, Trolls World Tour, was released on April 10, 2020.
The movie was the launch of the main "DreamWorks Trolls" brand, and is one of the two Trolls Doll-related brands DreamWorks currently holds licensing for, the other being the "Good Luck Trolls" brand, the flagship brand for the Trolls licensing. The Trolls movie also marked the re-branding and re-introduction of the Good Luck Trolls franchise as a whole, after its decline since the early 1990s, being the first successful attempt to bring back the brand since the Troll Doll craze in 1992-1993 after the failure of Trollz in 2005, over a decade earlier.

DreamWorks Animation’s TROLLS is an irreverent comedy extravaganza with incredible music! From the genius creators of SHREK, TROLLS stars Anna Kendrick as Poppy, the optimistic leader of the Trolls, and her polar opposite, Branch, played by Justin Timberlake. Together, this unlikely pair of Trolls must embark on an adventure that takes them far beyond the only world they’ve ever known.
20 years after the Trolls escaped from the Bergens, who eat Trolls as they believe it makes them happy, Princess Poppy throws a party that attracts the attention of banished Bergen Chef, who captures her friends. Feeling responsible, Poppy enlists paranoid disgruntled survivalist Branch to go along with her on a quest to save Troll Village's population from the Bergens. Their king, King Gristle Jr., plans to serve the Trolls to his kingdom, oblivious to the romantic infatuation towards him by the scullery maid Bridget.

The Trolls are small colorful creatures who live in an almost perpetual state of happiness, singing, dancing, hugging, and having fun all day. However, they are discovered by the Bergens, large, ugly miserable creatures, who can only feel happy by 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, King Peppy, with his baby daughter, Princess Poppy, escape through tunnels on the day of Trollstice, when Prince Gristle was going to eat his first Troll. Enraged, Prince Gristle’s father King Gristle Sr. banishes his Chef, who was in charge of preparing for Trollstice. Chef promises to leave and find the Trolls herself.
20 years later, the now-adult Poppy is retelling the story of how they escaped to a group of young Trolls from a scrapbook. She tells them that she plans to throw a big party to celebrate the Trolls' escape, despite the warnings from the over-cautious and egotistical gray troll, Branch, that loud parties will attract the Bergens. A Troll named Creek, arrives and tells Branch to start being happy instead of being grumpy; Branch refuses. At the party, Branch's warnings come true, when Chef sees the fireworks and kidnaps Poppy's friends Guy Diamond, Biggie with Mr. Dinkles, Fuzzbert, Smidge, Satin & Chenille, DJ Suki, and Cooper, along with Creek, despite Poppy trying to rescue him and Peppy. 
Alone inside the bunker, Branch looks at a bunch of homemade party invitations, indicating that he appreciates Poppy's offers of friendship, has an unrequited love for her, and that internally would like to have fun with the rest of the Trolls. Poppy goes to Branch for help, but he refuses, stating he has 10 years worth of supplies in his Bunker and plans to hide. To convince him to go along with her, she brings the other Trolls into his bunker to hide them; with these many Trolls, Branch complains that the supplies will only last a short while. Poppy goes on a rescue mission alone. When she gets into trouble, she's saved by Branch, who thinks she won't make it if she goes alone and wants his bunker back, all of which is Poppy's predictions. Poppy and Branch interact on their journey with each other, with Poppy failing to understand Branch's point of view and Branch finding Poppy annoying. At night, they settle down but Poppy's singing annoys him; he says he likes silence, to which she performs The Sound of Silence in response; this ends with Branch throwing her ukulele in their campfire.
At Bergen Castle, Chef returns with the Trolls and tries to re-instate Trollstice. This is part of her own plot to overthrow Prince Gristle, now King Gristle. She gets her job back and Gristle is in awe of the idea of being happy. 
The next morning Branch and Poppy arrive at the tunnels, one leads to Bergen Town and the others to certain death. Cloud Guy appears, annoys Branch to chase him, and both Trolls are led by the cloud to Bergen Town, where they see a crowd of miserable Bergens. 
Once inside the Bergen Castle, Poppy and Branch witness Creek getting force-fed to the now-King Gristle Jr. by Chef, 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 (perjoratively called "Idget" by Chef). Poppy discovers that Bridget is secretly in love with King Gristle Jr., and offers to help her get a date with him while trying to confirm if Creek is alive.
While setting Bridget up for the date with a musical number, Branch refuses to sing and triggers an argument with Poppy, revealing that, as a child, his grandmother was captured and got eaten while trying to save him, because his singing compromised his location to Chef. Branch's complete guilt over his grandmother's death caused his color to turn from blue to gray.
After Poppy comforts him with a hug, Branch decides to help Bridget and the Trolls, though he still refuses to sing. Bridget, disguised under the name of "Lady Glittersparkles", gets her date with Gristle Jr. at a roller rink and arcade restaurant, and Gristle Jr. asks her to be his "plus one" at Trollstice. Poppy notices Creek being held captive inside the jewel adorning Gristle's mantle.
Having helped Bridget, the Trolls attempt to rescue Creek from Gristle's room and take his jewel, but discover that it's empty. The Trolls are then captured by Chef, and Poppy gets shocked to discover that Creek sold them out to the Bergens to spare himself from being eaten. Creek lures out every Troll from Troll Village (via Poppy's cowbell), and they're captured by Chef and the other Bergen cooks. With all the Trolls captured, thrown into a pot, and soon to be eaten, a heartbroken Poppy becomes sad and falls into despair after she had been betrayed by her crush, and loses hope as she and all the other Trolls turn gray.
Branch, even though he's gray, tries to sing "True Colors" for Poppy to cheer her up, and also confesses his love for her. Poppy, after regaining her colors and realizing Branch actually cares for her, joins in his song as this makes him happy and he shows his True Colors. As the two dance and sing together, the other Trolls get a sense of renewed hope and regain their colors.
Bridget frees the Trolls from the pot, willing to sacrifice herself. Poppy cannot bring herself to abandon Bridget after her sacrifice that is sure to doom her life, and with Branch and her friends, shows the Bergens that Bridget was Lady Glittersparkles, and that it's not necessary to eat Trolls to be happy, and they too, can find happiness within themselves.
The vengeful Chef refuses to accept the peace and tries to kill the Trolls, but is knocked into the pot and sent rolling out of Bergen Town. Chef is set on fire with Creek, who was still in her fanny pack. Both species celebrate, bringing new life to the town and renewing the life of the Troll Tree. Poppy is then declared queen of the Trolls, and shares a hug with Branch.
In a mid-credits scene, the pot Chef and Creek are on stops rolling. Chef prepares to eat Creek herself, but they soon find out that they're on top of a hill monster, who opens its mouth and eats them both.

== ==
=== Themes ===
The main theme of the movie is about the lengths some go to to obtain and maintain happiness, as stated in the movie's marketing and books such as The Art of DreamWorks Trolls. Despite the cheerfulness of the Trolls (except Branch) and its brightly colored world, the setting of the story, details such as the Cookin' With Trolls book indicate a more darker theme, and the story implies has a much more sinister undertone about a great horror dealt towards the Trolls by the Bergens as a result of their desire to be happy once a year.
The Bergens are the main focus of this theme, and it comes in several forms: being willing to eat sentient creatures (the Trolls), Chef wanting to use happiness to have power over her fellow Bergens, Bridget wanting King Gristle Jr.'s love, and King Gristle Jr. believing that there's only one way to be happy, which is eating a Troll. With this, the cost of happiness comes at a price to the Trolls and the Bergens. The Bergens themselves fail to acknowledge that they can be happy without Trolls, as happiness is already inside of them. They're also left unhappy constantly, and can easily be manipulated so long as happiness is promised.
For the Trolls, they represent in the movie happiness itself. They fear Bergens, as their happiness costs the Trolls their liberty, but gives the Bergens an expectation that once a year they can stop being miserable. Their carefree nature means they're naturally happy and lack sadness nor want of it, making Branch the only grey and sad Troll.
Related to this happiness are smaller themes such as social status. Bridget's position as scullery maid leaves her unable to believe her happiness with King Gristle Jr. can never be obtained due to her low rank. Meanwhile, Branch's greyness is unattractive to the other Trolls and his paranoia a subject of ridicule. Branch also gives a small theme of being a Troll who lets his own past experiences deny himself happiness, and is the only Troll from the Trollstice days left with bad experiences hanging over him. Thus, Branch represents self-punishment and guilt, being a denier of happiness.
But happiness is not without its own flaws, and the movie also shows a few negative sides to being happy. As previously mentioned, Chef "controls" the happiness of her fellow Bergens using the Trolls as a means to get what she wants. For the Trolls themselves, one of their most cherished members Creek, who was believed to the most positive Troll in the village but is actually a coward and a traitor, is willing to sacrifice the entire population to stay alive at the cost of their happiness. Poppy also shows blissful ignorance at her party by not treating the Bergens as a threat; thus, her happiness put herself and her fellow Trolls in danger. When it happens, Poppy decides to fix her error and tries to save her captive friends, but after Creek betrayed her and the Snack Pack, she's so distraught at the fact that she and the rest of the Trolls are as good as dead; all the color drain from her body, leaving her looking like Branch, with all the other Trolls following suit.
=== Software Usage ===
The main problem presented with the films approach to CGI rendering was a choice by the storyline. Trolls were to extend their hair, split and mould into various shapes. The problem this presented is maintaining a consistency in the bend of the hair as it did these things. In addition, another choice was to make the world out of wooly textures. This provided the tw biggest artistic challenges of the film.
The result was that both animation and character effects teams had to work closely together. The Character effects team was repsonisble for control of the hair animation. Trolls produced large hair hair rigs, which had to be robust. In larger scenes, animation effects would have to step in and control the animation taking place with draw overs, CV locking tools and animated stylers.
Hair rigs were produced with a modified version of the Spline IK system. Each rig has 3 primary IKs and 10 secondary, rigs also had to scale and warp with their cage and grow as animation required. The hair rigs required large amounts of control and accuracy of shapes was critical. A kink styler also ahd to be added to willow to control some noise and space manipulation. A convex NURBS tube was used during chorographical shots to control the hair in a artistic manner. Keith's running gag of hiding in Troll hair also required a collision styler in willow.
To control Bridget's hair, the rainbow wig was split into 8 parts. The software handled the control of wig both when it was formed and when it was deconstructed. Fire was constantly rendered as hair and followed much of the same principles as other examples of hair. Shots were renders using a mixture of techniques to suit the scene. Most destruction on set took place at Troll height (6 inches) so most of the textiles were visible in shot. However, this had to be maintained for the Bergens as well and digging through dirt and rock would also result in fuzz, wool and hair. The technology behind Trolls was an achievement for the hair and textures alone, but proved that the same techniques could be used for non-hair elements.https://research.dreamworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/26-0269-missey-Edited.pdf
=== Character Development ===
The main character of the movie was decided upon being named "Poppy" after the color "poppy pink". Originally, they went for a more 1980s-style of character design, but rejected it for a more ugly-cute style as it gave more distinction in character design. As Poppy's design changed, so did the general style of the Trolls themselves, and each version of Poppy caused a different art direction. A number of artists produced designs for the concept of Poppy. Timothy Lamb's art style was chosen as the overall look. Other artists included Craig Kellman, who did a number of character studies, and Sebastian Piquet, who made color concepts, including one of Poppy's dress designs of which seemed to have been used for her appearance in Trolls: The Beat Goes On!. Priscilla Wong also did the costume that would be her royal attire in the original party scene, which would have been Poppy's coronation. Poppy had a number of dress designs which were used for a scene removed from the film. She was even at one stage considered for having a gem, but it was removed. At one point, Poppy was even supposed to be naked, but this was dropped.
Poppy was one of the first characters designed. As Poppy's design was completed, Branch became the focus. Branch was made to be her counterpart and was considered much easier to draw, since he just had to contrast Poppy's design, i.e. grey colors against Poppy's vivid pink. Similarly to Poppy, Branch had a gem in his belly button that was added and removed. His attire went through a number of alterations, but was always based upon survival-style clothing made from found items such as leaves. He was often depicted with weapons.
Cooper's design was also overhauled a number of designs, and was based on an old animal Troll doll Dam Stuff produced of a giraffe. His design went through lots of alternations, and was also produced quite early on, as his initial design matched the 1980s design Poppy had. At different points, he would look very different in design.
Satin & Chenille also had a number of design changes, and were supposed to change outfits regularly throughout the movie, but this was dropped due to costs. The twins had numerous design concepts.
By the point Cooper, Biggie, Smidge, Branch, and Poppy were at some sort of design status, they were lined up against a design chart. The print of this from The Art of DreamWorks Trolls shows that more members of The Snack Pack were originally intended; the rest weren't yet finalized. DJ Suki was originally trademarked as "DJ Harmony", but this name was changed less than a month later on February 25, 2015, when new trademarks were filed under her finalized name of "DJ Suki".
The Bergens were meant to be unattractive and miserable looking monsters that ate Trolls. Bridget and King Gristle Jr. were made short for their species, which made them unattractive to other Bergens for this reason. Gristle's direction was simply that he was spoiled and wore the same clothes as a teenager, hence they didn't fit him. Bridget's design was made alongside Zooey Deschanel's performance, so voice actress and character development were side-by-side designs. She was one of the more fun designs to come up with for the artists. Her persona "Lady Glittersparkles" was based on a 1970s diva (generally referring to a female celebrity). The Bergens in general were meant to be based on 1970s slum. Craig Kellman initially came up with the more weirder approach to the Bergens with tight clothes and high waists.
Creek was meant to have a charming and handsome look, and went through several designs, many of which had his hair glistening. Grandma Rosiepuff was also added to give Branch a traumatic background. These two characters are a split of an initial character who was meant to be the one who betrayed the Trolls, Miss Guffin, until she was scrapped as she seemed too appealing and they thought she was so funny that no one could recover from her betrayal. Miss Guffin actually had a trademark in her name on January 20, 2015. Presumably she was dropped as a character by June 10, 2015 as this is the date of Creek's trademark.
A number of other characters were made for the film that did not get in: Maddy, Cybil (whose guru aspect was also reused for Creek), Aspen Heitz, Karma, Harper, the only one of these Trolls to actually appear in the movie with a background role. Aspen's design, alongside other more characters, was instead used for a Random Troll model, which appeared in the inital escape from Bergen Town.
Kevan Shorey confirmed that a lot of cheating went on with the characters' models. An example was uploaded of Poppy and Branch's hug at the end of True Colors, demonstrating that Poppy's head actually moved into Branch's, but from the angle seen in the movie this wasn't apparent.https://twitter.com/KevanShorey/status/1304102383744462848
=== Plot Changes/Scene Deletions ===
Trolls was originally not going to be a musical.
Even after becoming a musical, the original plot was on how the Trolls gained their colorful hair, and thus was an origin story on Troll hair. Overall, what remained is that Trolls was meant to be an origin story for further installments of the franchise.
Even in the final version of the storyline, the plot would involve Poppy becoming Queen due to her father becoming senile. The 20-year party was originally going to be her coronation, but this was changed to make Peppy's character more like a wise teacher. The plot wasn't forgotten, and Peppy's former persona would be later given to King Thrash in the Trolls World Tour sequel.
As mentioned in "Character Development", Miss Guffin was meant to be the original betrayer of the Trolls, before Creek was created.
Poppy was going to have a story time with some of the village's children, with King Peppy being part of the attendance. 
Satin & Chenille had a scene where they showed Poppy a number of dresses they had made for her cut coronation party. The scene was cut as a feedback, after it was given a test viewing that noted how it made Poppy look spoiled.
Chef's song Bringing Back Happy was also cut from the film, being replaced with dialogue from her.
Another cut scene involved King Gristle Jr. and four Bergen Castle guards chasing down Poppy, Branch and other Trolls (though not all of them from the Snack Pack) on rollerskates after Gristle caught them out in the streets. Unlike most of the aforementioned scenes, which had been fully animated, this one was only made into an animatic.
TROLLS Storyboards|The animatic of the cut chase scene
Concept art shows that early on Branch's hair was meant to be part of the "Lady Glittersparkles" wig. In the movie, Branch isn't involved in making the wig, except when Poppy and The Snack Pack save Bridget from Chef.
=== World Building ===
The textile landscape was chosen to make the world look like it wasn't CGI and had actually been made by hand. A number of landscapes had real-life models produced to represent them and see what they look like. Early concept art didn't have this knitted-world look to it.https://www.instagram.com/p/BMcLQ9Shncf/
The film used a number of textures, some of which were devised along the development of the film and thus were used by Trolls for the first time. The Trolls' habitat went through several redesigns, but mostly focused on them living in the trees.
For the Bergens, a drab palette and 1970s slum look was chosen. Overall, Bergen Town was meant to be a contrast to the forest the Trolls lived in. Initially, they were meant to have vehicles like cars and motorcycles, but none made it to the movie, though they're referenced by odd things, such as Prince Gristle's bike as a baby in the opening sequence and a tire in the Cloud Guy scene at the Tunnels of Certain Death.
The world design of Trolls wasn't allowed to touch water.https://www.awn.com/animationworld/walt-dohrn-talks-trolls-world-tour

The film itself grossed over $346 million in cinemas and made a profit of $19 million. The rest of the money grossed was taken up by its price tag of $125 million, while its global P&R costed $105 million. It made a further $170 million from TV revenues.https://deadline.com/2020/04/trolls-world-tour-vod-box-office-movie-profits-universal-coronavirus-1202903913/
By February 2021, Trolls made over $343 million in box office sales, both domestically and overseas, and another $71 million on home video sales, including DVD and Blu-Ray.https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Trolls#tab=summary
Despite its commercial success, there was still much criticism towards the movie upon its release, often being compared to Sony Pictures Animation's two The Smurfs animated films released at the time; one of the common cited advantage that the movie over them had was less Canon from its source material to rely upon. The cast was noted by Forbes reviewer Luke Y. Thompson to be one that would not appeal to the target demographic, but a wider "hipper" audience. He said that the movie was badly timed with Doctor Strange being released at the same time.
The movie was praised for its trippy experience and excellent setting. The Bergens were compared as being a cross between Gargamel from The Smurfs and the Blue Meanies from Yellow Submarine, while the Trolls were seen as Prozac that the Bergens popped to feel better. The film's world was described as "reassuring" and "unsettling". Story-wise, it was described as following the typical plot formula that DreamWorks was criticized for constantly using during the 2000s, but with a few twists.https://www.forbes.com/sites/lukethompson/2016/11/04/review-trolls-plays-like-a-psychedelic-smurfs-spin-off/?sh=1f78bd547f15
Rotten Tomatoes has a rating of 75% and 67% from critics and viewers, respectively. Most reviewers noted that its trippiness and fun make it "hard to dislike", while others just flat-out disliked it for that reason among others.https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/trolls In spite of this criticism, general responses from parents and children were almost always positive.https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/trolls

*Note: Regarding music award shows, only film-related categories are included on this list.
== ==
*The lever to lower the elevator of Branch's bunker does not appear next to Branch until he needs it to.
*An animation error occurs when Poppy says goodbye to the Trolls in Branch's bunker; King Peppy is suddenly wearing only his underwear.
*The movie makes used of random models to fill out crowds. However, many of the color variations of Trolls seen in the "20 years ago" introductory scene do not appear later on. The most notable example is Darius, a Troll named in the Trolls: The Junior Novelization who was unnamed in the actual movie; his exact coloration is never seen again in the movie. However, other Trolls made with the random troll models (used for the crowd simulation) are of characters like Aspen Heitz, Mandy Sparkledust and Cookie Sugarloaf, all three of which appear in multiple locations in the movie unchanged by the 20 year gap from the escape from Bergen Town to the establishment of Troll Village. This sort of error wasn't repeated in Trolls World Tour, which had its crowd filler models and characters adapted from models of named characters such as Clampers Buttonwillow.
*Cooper mentions having an uncle in the movie. Said uncle never appears despite being mentioned, and his relationship is noteworthy due to Trolls World Tour.

Trolls helped contribute to 2016 being a very successful year with licensing of movie product tie-ins. The film's merchandise was a surprising success, and it was one of the bigger launches of the year.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/licensed-merchandise-sales-hit-2629b-2016-boosted-by-star-wars-1005108 By the time approaching sequel Trolls World Tour hit, the franchise was worth $700 million.https://deadline.com/2020/04/trolls-world-tour-vod-box-office-movie-profits-universal-coronavirus-1202903913/ 
As previously noted elsewhere, the original party featured early on was meant to be Poppy's coronation. However, this was changed late into production of the movie, and many early promotional material such as books like Sing With Us! and the 2017 Trolls Annual were released with that particular plot instead of the current one. Thus, the change of plot impacted early merchandise related to the movie.
In total, 10 major new merchandising partners were added to the production of supportive marketing of the movie.https://www.licenseglobal.com/industry-news/dreamworks-adds-10-trolls-partners

*Unlike many other toylines that have been revamped from older decades such as My Little Pony or Transformers, the Trolls franchise has had virtually no past references to go by. The only other major project for the toyline was the animated series The Magic Trolls and the Troll Warriors. Meanwhile, Trollz, the only official "Trolls" cartoon prior to the Trolls movie with any form of major world building, ran into numerous problems. According to The Art of DreamWorks Trolls, the lack of a background or story for the Trolls actually gave the filmmakers a lot of room to work with.
*A lot of critics compared Trolls to the The Smurfs franchise. The world the titular Smurfs lived in orignated in 1952 from the Johan and Peewit comic, into which the Smurfs first appeared in 1958. They were given a spin-off comic of their own a year later, and eventually overtook Johan and Peewit entirely. The first Dam Trolls trademark was registered in 1959; the original Troll Doll is older than this, though the two properties were developed independently of each other, and at the time neither were popular enough to be known outside of their countries of origin.
*The Bergens' pursuit of happiness from Trolls may be a reference to the older TV series The Magic Trolls and the Troll Warriors. In it, the "Magic Trolls" themselves were the ones who lacked happiness and they were kept surpressed by the "Warrior Trolls". In the series, the Magic Trolls were the size of Trolls, and the Warrior Trolls the size of Bergens.
*"Bergen" means "mountain" in several European languages, which is the most likely correct meaning of their name; it refers to how their height appears to the Trolls. It's likely that this is also why the song Hair Up is composed to the tune of In the Hall of the Mountain King at Bergen Castle, as it can referred to as "the halls of the Mountain King [King Gristle]". The use of the "Bergen" term for the species may come from the Norwegian city in which the song's writer Edvard Grieg resided, also named "Bergen". The Bergens resemble the actual folktale trolls from Norse mythology, which were the inspiration for the Troll Dolls. Lastly, the "King" from In the Hall of the Mountain King was also a Troll.
*Bridget's story is loosely based upon Cinderella's.
*Trollstice is based upon Solstice, while the Trolls' homes or "pods" resemble charismas tree decoration Baubles.
*The fake Trolls made out of wood are a homage to the original Troll Dolls which were made of wood and sheep hair before switching to plastic, later with cotton hair. In addition, they resemble the "Russ" Troll Doll look of the 1990s.
== ==
*In the trailers, Branch is seen performing "Can't Stop the Feeling!" with the other Trolls, but still has his grey coloration for some reason. This was likely done to avoid spoilers.Branch is still grey.
**Also in the first official trailer, Branch had a misleading narration about the outside danger, which is actually referring to how he initially felt about Poppy being incompatible with him, instead of the movie's main antagonists the Bergens.
*One of the hints that Bergens can be happy without eating a Trolls is that the sheer thought of doing so makes Bergens smile. This is actually a note pointed out by Cinema Wins when they did their "Everything Great About Trolls" checklist and that Chef seemed to know they could be happy without Trolls.
*From the start of the movie when Poppy is telling the history of her people to the end when she is crowned takes place over the course of 4 days and 3 nights.
*Poppy's picture frames are a logic-based gag. The first image of Creek is small, but as she expands the frames, the photos of her friends get bigger and bigger, with Cooper's being double the height of Creek's and the twins (Satin and Chenille) being double the width, meaning that it would be impossible for her to have all the frames folded away behind Creek's. This might also be a subtle hint of Creek betraying the tribe and therefore removed from the Snack Pack afterwards.
**The frames would later appear in the background of Poppy's pod in Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, with a photo of Branch replacing Creek's.
