Concept art - character designs - animation breakdowns - FX layers... Take a look at this fantastic, stunning animation showcase - set to the Brozone hit, 'Better Place' - from DreamWorks Animation's all-new musical adventure comedy, 'Trolls Band Together,’ now playing in theaters.
See how the magic is made! The film stuffs every inch of the screen with an incredible display of glitz, glitter, fuzzy things, shiny things, zany things, psychedelic things, and a crazy ensemble of dancing and singing characters only the fever-dreamed minds of sleep-deprived artists could, led by director Walt Dohrn, conjure up.
In the new film, Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are now officially, finally, a couple (#broppy)! As they grow closer, Poppy discovers that Branch has a secret past. He was once part of her favorite boyband phenomenon, BroZone, with his four brothers: Floyd (Golden Globe-nominated electropop sensation Troye Sivan), John Dory (Eric André; Sing 2), Spruce (Grammy winner Daveed Diggs; Hamilton) and Clay (Grammy winner Kid Cudi; Don’t Look Up). BroZone disbanded when Branch was still a baby, as did the family, and Branch hasn’t seen his brothers since.
But when Branch’s bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop-star villains - Velvet (Emmy winner Amy Schumer; Trainwreck) and Veneer (Grammy winner and Tony nominee Andrew Rannells; The Book of Mormon) - Branch and Poppy embark on a harrowing and emotional journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd from a fate even worse than pop-culture obscurity.
The all-star cast includes Kendrick; Timberlake; Zooey Deschanel as Bridget; Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Gristle; the Icona Pop duo Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt as Satin and Chenille; Grammy winner Anderson .Paak as Prince D; comedian Ron Funches as Cooper; SAG nominee Kunal Nayyar as Guy Diamond; and Emmy-winning Saturday Night Live legend Kenan Thompson as Tiny Diamond.
