Synopsis

After the events of the first film, Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) discover that they are but one of six different Troll tribes scattered over six different lands, each devoted to a different form of music: Pop, Funk, Classical, Techno, Country and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger, and a whole lot louder, as member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb (Rachel Bloom), aided by her father King Thrash (Ozzy Osbourne), wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme. With the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their friends — Biggie (James Corden), DJ Suki (Gwen Stefani), Chenille, Satin (Icona Pop), Cooper (Ron Funches), Guy Diamond (Kunal Nayyar) and Tiny Diamond (Kenan Thompson) — set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who's looking to upstage them all.[1] Meanwhile, Branch tries to find a way to tell Poppy how he feels about her.
