The Birth of Trolls Band Together

The idea for ‘Trolls Band Together’ was born as a sequel to the highly successful ‘Trolls’ movies, with the aim of continuing the adventures of the beloved characters and exploring new themes through music and comedy. 

Conception

As an extension of the highly popular ‘Trolls’ franchise, this upcoming movie sought to build upon its predecessors’ success by weaving together an engaging story, captivating visuals, and fresh musical elements.

During the film’s development phase, creators carefully considered each aspect, from character creation to story arcs, ensuring every detail was meticulously designed and well-integrated within the larger narrative.

It was essential for them to maintain continuity and connection with previous installments (Walt Dohrn previously co-directed the first installment, and directed the second) while introducing new dimensions explored through innovative storytelling techniques.

Production

Directed by the talented duo Walt Dohrn and Tim Heitz, this animated film is a much-anticipated sequel that will enchant family audiences with its musical comedy approach. Notably, Walt Dohrn served as a writer and director on Season 2 of ‘Spongebob Squarepants’. The new ‘Trolls’ film will likely recapture some of that same unhinged comedic energy. 

Creating an animated film requires significant dedication from not just the directors but also animators, voice actors, and many other dedicated professionals working tirelessly to bring the story to life on screen.

The Storyline of Trolls Band Together

The plot of ‘Trolls Band Together’ revolves around the five musically talented brothers: Branch, Floyd, Spruce, John Dory, and Clay as they embark on an epic adventure to save their music-loving tribe from a new threat.

Synopsis

In the enchanting world of the new ‘Trolls’ film, audiences are taken on another exhilarating animated adventure as they follow the lovable characters, Poppy and Branch.

The film unveils a continuation of the franchise, where Poppy discovers an astonishing truth about her best friend Branch, after two films full of camaraderie and unforgettable journeys.

Key Themes

‘Trolls Band Together’ is an animated movie that centers around a group of trolls who must save their music from being stolen by the villainous Queen Barb. 

While the franchise is known for its catchy pop music and vibrant animation, there are some key themes and symbolism embedded in the storyline.

The importance of unity and coming together to overcome challenges is central to the film. The trolls from different tribes, with varying ‘musical styles’, must work together towards a common end goal (for the good of all tribes). Conversely, silence in the film also appears to represent a notion of conformity or oppression. 

The Voices Bringing Trolls Band Together to Life

The star-studded voice talent includes Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Amy Schumer, Kid Cudi, Daveed Diggs, Zooey Deschanel, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, RuPaul, Camila Cabello, Troye Sivan, and Eric André.

Main Character Voice Talent

The main characters inTrolls Band Together’ are brought to life by an impressive voice cast, with each actor lending their unique talents to the role. 

Justin Timberlake voices Branch, a grumpy troll who must learn to embrace his inner happiness, while Anna Kendrick plays Poppy, the cheerful and optimistic leader of the trolls.

Other notable voice actors include RuPaul as Trollzart, Anderson .Paak as Prince D and Eric André as Chaz. Each of these actors brings their own comedic style (especially Eric André) and personality to their respective roles.

The chemistry between all of the voice actors helped create memorable moments throughout the film. Notably, in this third installment of the franchise, Branch and Poppy’s relationship deepens with a romantic subplot. 

Supporting Characters and Their Voice Talents

Gwen Stefani lends her voice to DJ Suki, a supporting character who appears to play a vital role in the story’s development, while other notable names like James Corden, Rachel Bloom, and Kenan Thompson also contribute their talent.

Voice Over and Character Development

The voices behind the characters in ‘Trolls Band Together’ play a vital role in bringing them to life and contributing to their development throughout the film.

For example, Nick Kroll’s portrayal of the villainous troll named Slick means presenting an oily tone of voice that perfectly matches his shifty personality. 

How Voice Acting Influenced the Film’s Success

Each actor infused their unique personality and style into their characters in such a way that they became unforgettable. From Queen Poppy’s signature high-pitched voice (voiced by Anna Kendrick) to Branch’s deadpan sarcasm (voiced by Justin Timberlake), every character added something special to the film.

Conclusion

The voice talent behind the characters in ‘Trolls Band Together’ features an impressive lineup of established actors and musicians.
