SYNOPSIS:
The Trolls, small creatures who exude joy, are preyed upon by the Bergens, who believe that consuming a Troll is their only path to happiness. The Trolls manage to escape, leading to a series of events that culminate two decades later when Poppy, the Trolls’ leader’s daughter, and her friends are captured by the vengeful Bergen Chef. Joined by the cautious Troll Branch, Poppy embarks on a daring rescue mission. They discover a betrayal within their ranks, leading to a loss of hope and color among the Trolls. However, a song from Branch restores their spirit. Their eventual freedom, facilitated by Bridget, a Bergen maid, leads to a revelation for the Bergens about the source of true happiness. This newfound understanding ends the long-standing feud, and harmony is restored, with Poppy ascending to the throne as the Queen of the Trolls.
