Trolls World Tour: Plot Summary (No Spoilers)
In this sequel, Queen Poppy and the cautious, grounded Branch learn that their village is not the only Troll community. Beyond their home lie entire Troll worlds they never knew existed, each with its own identity, customs and musical style. The pop-loving Trolls suddenly share a much bigger map with very different neighbours, and those differences quickly turn into friction.
The tension grows when a danger emerges that could affect every Troll, wherever they live. Rather than staying safe at home, Poppy, Branch and their loyal friends set off on a journey across unfamiliar territory. Their goal is to bring rival groups together before the threat overtakes them all.
Along the way, the film draws on a wide mix of sounds, including pop, rock, country, electronic music and K-pop. The journey becomes both a road-trip adventure and a test of whether Poppy’s optimism and Branch’s caution can bridge divides. At its heart, the story is about friendship, listening and learning to respect differences. Rated PG, it runs 91 minutes.
