I could really dig it with the whole boy band primadonna drama between Branch and BroZone, and I have a lot of pop music to learn thanks to them.
In Trolls Band Together, Branch (voiced by Justin Timberlake) is forced to confront his past when one of his long-lost brothers is in danger. It’ll take him, Poppy (voiced by Anna Kendrick), and the power of upbeat music to save the day.
I appreciate how the film shifted from focusing on Poppy to helping Branch get out of his shell, especially with the wild hair and frosted tips. It was great to see that he wasn’t always a cynical survivalist and that the film exposed his human side.
I also enjoyed Kenan Thompson’s character of Tiny Diamond stealing the show a couple times.
Even though it’s more about Branch’s side now, I did appreciate Poppy’s geeking out over BroZone, particularly with Branch’s role, and her undying devotion to helping the latter.
If there is a next one, I’d like to see Branch permanently back to his old light blue hair color from the end of the original Trolls (spoiler alert for those who didn’t watch it), and know more of Poppy’s family background. But otherwise, I give the film an 8/10 for good energy and drama mixing in, cast and crew of Trolls. As for the audience, I’d recommend Trolls Band Together if you want a current movie that’s not all moody and heavy, and want to catch up on good catchy gold-school and new-school pop music.
