What is ‘Trolls World Tour’ about?
As the sequel to the 2016 Dreamworks animated film, Trolls, the new movie picks back up with Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake). As they begin adjusting to Poppy’s new life as queen, the friends find out that there are six other troll tribes in the world. One of those tribes is headed by the mischievous, Queen Barb.
