Poppy

         “Trolls Band Together” will be the third installment in the film series after “Trolls” (2016) and “Trolls World Tour” (2020), and will have bright colors, an upbeat soundtrack and loveable characters that made everyone fall in love with the previous movies.

            The original “Trolls” movie was about the happiest troll ever born, Poppy, and an overly cautious troll named Branch. They embark on a mission filled with adventure, where they have to put aside their differences to rescue their friends. In “Trolls World Tour,” the duo of Poppy and Branch discover that there are six different tribes of different types of music. They try to unite the tribes so that they can stop the king and queen of rock music from destroying the other types of music. These movies received positive feedback from audiences so much so that in 2017 “Trolls” won a Grammy award for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

            The story of this movie is fascinating, as Poppy discovers that Branch and his four brothers are a part of her favorite boy band. One of his brothers gets kidnapped by a pair of villains who want to give him an outcome that is worse than pop culture obscurity. Poppy and Branch then go on a journey to reunite the brothers, but this adventure is filled with emotional trials and issues that have not been dealt with in the past. 

           The cast for “Trolls Band Together” is full of many notable names and personalities. The name that is well known to most people is Justin Timberlake, who is mostly famous for his music career, but he has played in multiple great movies such as “Yogi Bear,” “Shrek the Third” and “Bad Teacher.” He also was the voice actor for Branch in the previous two “Trolls” movies and will voice him again this time around. Another actor in this movie who should be recognized is Anna Kendrick for her roles in movies such as “Pitch Perfect,” “Twilight,” “Happy Christmas,” “Paranorman” and “Drinking Buddies.” Her role in this movie is to be the voice actor for Poppy, as she was in the previous two films. The next actor is Ron Funches, who has acted in movies such as “Cheaper by the Dozen,” “Taskmaster” and “Get Hard.” In this new movie, he will be the voice actor for Cooper, like in the previous movies.

         This movie is filled with colorful places and great music to the point that becomes a magical experience for anyone. This movie is available in theaters on Nov. 17.
