This spring break, Trolls World Tour is coming to theaters nationwide, asking the simple question, ‘Can Rock Trolls stop the feeling?’ Today, we have a new trailer, poster and photos for this continuing adventure in the hit animated franchise that has already spawned a feature film, a TV show and some very crafty theme park attractions.
The first Trolls World Tour trailer arrived over the summer, giving us just a tiny taste of what to expect. Trolls World Tour is coming to rock out in theaters everywhere starting April 17, 2020. Which is perfect, since a lot of kids will be on school break at that time, and this will definitely give them something exciting to do before they have to go back and finish out school before the summer.
Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake return in Trolls World Tour, an all-star sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s 2016 musical hit. 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 Trolls 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.
