What happens

Trolls World Tour is a 2020 American animated musical comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation, based on the Good Luck Trolls dolls created by Thomas Dam. The sequel to Trolls (2016) and the second installment in the Trolls franchise, the film was directed by Walt Dohrn and co-directed by David P. Smith, from a screenplay by Maya Forbes, Wallace Wolodarsky, Elizabeth Tippet, and the writing team of Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, and a story by Aibel and Berger. The film features Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Ron Funches, James Corden, Icona Pop, Kunal Nayyar, Zooey Deschanel, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Dohrn reprising their roles from the first film, with Rachel Bloom, Kelly Clarkson, Anderson .Paak, Sam Rockwell, George Clinton, and Mary J. Blige joining the cast. The film follows Queen Poppy and Branch as they discover more troll tribes that represent music genres other than their own. Troubles arise when Queen Barb of the Hard Rock Trolls plans to overthrow the foreign music genres to unite the Trolls under rock music, prompting Poppy and Branch to unite the tribes and stop her before all the trolls are converted into Hard Rock Trolls. After the first film's release, a sequel was announced in February 2017, with Kendrick and Timberlake returning to their roles. Much of the new cast was signed from May 2018 to June 2019. The custom marking animation to promote the film was provided by Minimo VFX and Jellyfish Pictures. Trolls World Tour was released by Universal Pictures in the United States in a limited number of theaters on April 10, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was simultaneously released on video on demand. AMC Theatres subsequently announced they would no longer distribute the studio's films, though this was later reversed after AMC and Universal agreed on a new contract. The film has grossed $48 million on a $110 million budget making it the first CGI DreamWorks Animation film to make less than its budget. A sequel, Trolls Band Together, was released in 2023.
