Scrapbooks

Scrapbooks are the main method of record keeping and storytelling of the Pop Trolls.
As well as in-world usage of the books, the films have also used them for storytelling purposes. Both Trolls and Trolls World Tour start off with scrapbook introductions. Trolls features Princess Poppy telling a group of young Trolls about Trollstice and how they escaped the Bergens. Trolls World Tour sees Cloud Guy recapping the events of the first film.

They consist of paper glued together to make a book, then pieces of glitter, pictures and items pasted onto the pages. They rarely contain words, but the Pop Trolls can still "read" the shapes and get the story.
Other Tribes appear to use other methods of record keeping; the Funk Trolls use vinyls to store information, with the vinyls' covers storing any related images. Their method of record keeping is far more accurate and records information as it is.
The issue pointed out by The Funky Family with scrapbooks is that the Pop Trolls can choose to change things over time. In Trolls World Tour, this included the Pop Trolls' ancestors changing the involvement they had in the splitting of the Tribes, and hiding that they had stolen the Strings. This was again exampled in Trolls Band Together when it was revealed that the story of The Last Trollstice told by Poppy in Trolls also had been embellished surrounding Viva and her Putt Putt Trolls.
The short series Trolls Scrapbook Stories is based upon the scrapbook theme.
According to "The Tech-less Breakfast", and later shown in "The Farmer and the Hound", Funk Troll books use Funk technology. They not only open to the correct entry upon being commanded by voice, but they can input the information from the book directly into the Troll's brains. Country Troll scrapbooks are also shown to be incredibly sad in the episode but create a lot of unification as Trolls often enjoy the endings of their books. It is also mentioned also that Pop Trolls would never write such as sad ending.

=== Named ===

**- a series of books mentioned in "Trolly Tales".
*∞ - a mysterious book from "Scrap To The Future", which showed events that were about to happen before they happened. However, it doesn't show "why" the events are going to happen.
*"King Peppy and the Hug of Power" - mentioned in "Scrapbookmobile", it was the favorite book of everyone in Troll Village. It was sadly destroyed and attempts to get King Peppy to recreate it resulted in them having no success.
*"For Whom the Bell Trolls" and "The Complete Works of Leon Trollstoy" - a pair of books seen in "Queen of the Castle".
*Glitterborne Chronicles - a series of scrapbooks that were written by R.T. Plumegrass. They're the favorite "glitterature" books of Poppy and Val Thundershock.
*"History of Scrapbooks; The Scrapbook" and "History of Scrapbooks; The Scrapbook, The Sequel" - appeared in "Surprise-O-Tron". "History of Scrapbooks: The Scrapbook" was worth 10,000 tickets and "History of Scrapbooks: The Scrapbook, the Sequel" was put up in its place as 20,000 after the first was won by Val, Rhythm and Holly.
*Poppy and Branch's Great Adventure - appeared in Trolls Holiday in Harmony, it is a scrapbook put together by Branch with the significance being that Branch doesn't make scrapbooks and their adventure is something only he could scrapbook.
*The Farmer and the Hound - appeared in "The Farmer and the Hound". This is a Country Trolls favorite and is a book about a Farmer who lives along with his Cuddlepup hound. One day a Hairricane takes her away and the farmer goes searching for his beloved Hound. The story goes on to state that the farm searches but never finds his beloved Hound no matter how much he looked. The book is especially sad to Pop Trolls, especially those like Branch, who saw himself in the farmer, and Biggie who is super sensitive.
**Fake Ending - Poppy and Holly changed the ending of one copy of the book that belonged to Biggie to include a fake ending, wherein the farmer found the hound. Biggie noted the tone was off with the rest of the book, as not only could the hound suddenly talk but a rollercoaster was suddenly in the story. Poppy had gotten carried away with scrapbooking a new, happier ending upon Holly Darlin's request. The ending was meant to stop Biggie being upset over the sad ending. 
*Poppy, Holly & Val's Gal Pal Getawaycation - appeared in "Gal Pal Getawaycation".

;Textures
According to The Art of DreamWorks Trolls, the world of the Trolls was meant to look like a giant crafted world, and thus everything in it besides the characters should appear like it's handmade. The scrapbooks are part of this design choice, and thus even the books the Trolls read are put together. Scrapbook materials were also used as texture references in Trolls to begin, with the animators getting excited when a new texture was created in regards to the film. The film wasn't originally intended to look like this, but the animators liked the look and stuck with it. The result is that the entire scrapbook-textured world of Trolls looks like it was made out of fabric and wool, which has since been continued in all further animations.

Images that appear in scrapbook form in the 3D animations were made in real life and then photographed for use in their respective animations, instead of being made with a computer. Once constructed, they would be used to recreate the images on the computer. Priscilla Wong was the designer of the Trolls World Tour scrapbook sections. The process was designed to make images appear as cutouts as close as possible to the real thing, with some real-life images, such as the lyre that held the Strings, being left in the final image entirely.https://twitter.com/Dreamworks/status/1237454275929714692

The scrapbooks also tell gruesome things at times. In Trolls, a scrapbook features Poppy getting decapitated, as she expected the rescue of her friends to go wrong. The Trolls: The Beat Goes On! episode "FOMO-OPUP" has a scrapbook introduction in which a Troll dies and becomes a ghost.
