TROLLS WORLD TOUR: Trailer, Teaser & Stills for Animated Film

"World Building" is, as they say, the "trend" these days - which is ironic, because any good film is about building a fictional world in one way or another, perhaps perceived by the hype-masters on whether it's "go big or go home", or a insignificant attempt, which again in the eye of the beholder, has varied results, of course.

In this instance, here's your WORLD BUILDING right in your face and in your ears!


"TROLLS WORLD TOUR" is the sequel to the 2016 animated film "TROLLS", with the trailer just launched (along with teaser posters), where we see the world of Trolls since expanded with a firm focus on "music"! Not too ironically, I sat thru the first movie again yesterday on the telly, and enjoyed it more than when I first saw it, and of course not forgetting Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop The Feeling!" (Buy Here), so I am quite looking forward to this. The press description for this movie (posted below) sure spices the expectations!

TROLLS WORLD TOUR – In theaters April 2020


PRESS: Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake return in an all-star sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s 2016 musical hit: Trolls World Tour. In an adventure that will take them well beyond what they’ve known before, Poppy (Kendrick) and Branch (Timberlake) discover that they are but one of six different Troll tribes scattered over six different lands and devoted to six different kinds of music: Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger and a whole lot louder.

A 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), Chenille (Caroline Hjelt), Satin (Aino Jawo), Cooper (Ron Funches) and Guy Diamond (Kunal Nayyar) — set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who’s looking to upstage them all.


PRESS (CONTINUED): Cast as members of the different musical tribes is one the largest, and most acclaimed, groups of musical talent ever assembled for an animated film. From the land of Funk are Mary J. Blige, George Clinton and Anderson .Paak. Representing Country is Kelly Clarkson as Delta Dawn, with Sam Rockwell as Hickory and Flula Borg as Dickory. J Balvin brings Reggaeton, while Ester Dean adds to the Pop tribe. Anthony Ramos brings the beat in Techno and Jamie Dornan covers smooth jazz. World-renowned conductor and violinist Gustavo Dudamel appears as Trollzart and Charlyne Yi as Pennywhistle from the land of Classical. And Kenan Thompson raps as a hip-hop newborn Troll named Tiny Diamond.

Trolls World Tour is directed by Walt Dohrn, who served as co-director on Trolls, and is produced by returning producer Gina Shay. The film is co-directed by David P. Smith and co-produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella, both of whom worked on the first Trolls. Trolls World Tour will also feature original music by Justin Timberlake, who earned an Oscar® nomination for his song for 2016’s Trolls, “Can’t Stop the Feeling!,” and a score by Theodore Shapiro (2016’s Ghostbusters, The Devil Wears Prada).
