Tribal Council, before the debut

of our big project tomorrow,

I wanted you to see our progress,

which I would describe as

[gasp]

adequate.

Adequate?

That doesn't sound good, y'all.

I give you

♪

the TrollsTopian Metroll System!

[cheering]

Dang, Poppy,

you downplayin' rascal.

You gotta warn a Troll

before you unveil something

that overwhelmingly cool.

Really?

What's so cool about it?

The fact that it runs through all

the TrollsTopian neighborhoods,

promoting cross-cultural celebration

on a level heretofore unparalleled?

[panting]

Oh, and did I mention

it's also a roller coaster?

[screaming with joy]

Oh, please, Poppy.

Uh, we need a break!

It's just

[gasps]

it's too cool.

In fact, I'm concerned the festivities

we've arranged for tomorrow's debut

won't live up to coolness

of this magnitude.

[sighs]

I already thought

of that, Dante.

Which is why, when the six of us

make the Metroll's inaugural trip

around TrollsTopia, we will

carry a special, surprise cargo

to share with all

of the Trolls when we arrive:

A "Perfection Cake."

- Oh!

- The cake of all cakes.

They say, any Troll that tastes

one instantly weeps from sheer joy.

Poppy?

You better not be tellin' cake tales

outta cake school. My cake-lovin'

heart can't take it!

No, it's true.

I secretly asked Sky Toronto's

team to start prep weeks ago.

Y'know, 'cuz the conditions

have to be pristine.

TROLL: The latest frosting

- sample for your inspection, sir.

- Uh

Uh

Well, that's infuriating.

Well, hot dang!

We're gettin' a Perfection Cake, ya'll!

[cheer]

Uh, we hate to be those

Trolls, but we have a problem.

Due to their delicate nature,

Perfection Cakes only last an hour

once they're exposed to natural air!

- Sure. So?

- Well, as the designers of this choo-choo,

and, yes, I say choo-choo

'cuz that's what my grandma

called it and it stuck, okay?

- Whoa.

- Calm down, yo.

Yeah, you do you, as they say, uh.

As the designers of this choo-choo,

we can assure you,

it can't make it

around TrollsTopia in an hour.

Whoa, whoa.

Guys, c'mon, we need this cake to give

the Metroll the debut it deserves.

Isn't there anything we can do?

Well, we were gonna work

through the night

to finish the supplemental

loop d' loop track.

♪

Right now, it's more of a loop d'.

But we could spend that time trying

to make the train go faster.

BRANCH:

An engine upgrade?

But we'd have to pull out the

transmission and the brake system.

Poppy, it's not worth

it just for some cake

Aw!

Let's upgrade this choo-choo.

- Phew.

- And choo-choo upgraded.

Bring in the cake!

♪

Aw!

Okay, one hour to get

around TrollsTopia,

blasting confetti cannons

all the way to the amphitheater

where the Trolls will gather

to celebrate the train.

Hey, ya'll, mind if we slow' down a

hair as we go through Country Corral?

I wanna shout a little Woohoo

from the choo-choo!

Sure, we've made amazing time!

I'm just gonna ease

the brakes and, uh

Um

Um!

[scream]

Yeehaw!

Yeehaw!

Okay, not a huge deal, but it appears

we were so focused on the engine upgrade,

that I forgot to put back in

the brake system.

- What?

- It's okay! I can just pull the emergency brake.

R & B:

Don't touch that!

According to our calculations, that

would mean disaster for the cake.

B can show you, she is

drawing up the figures now.

Yeah, the stick figures!

"I'm Branch!

I'll pull the emergency break!"

[R & B vocalizing]

Whoo! Splat!

R: Ah!

What a devastating debut!

B: I don't believe

in anything anymore!

[R & B imitating crying]

- Wow, that was specific.

- Guys, c'mon, this is a Perfection Cake.

There's gotta be another way

to stop this train!

Hey, ya'll, I know how

to slow this train down!

It's hair-a-chute time!

Watch and learn, ya'll!

Yeehaw!

Ah! I was totally wrong, y'all!

No stress, Trolls.

We'll float the cake to safety using

The Bubble Beam! ♪

You do the honors, dear sister.

[baas]

Uh, why don't you

try, dear sister?

- Hmm

- I know! Why don't we

Do it together!

[baas]

- Well, that's infuriating.

- Sorry, Poppy.

But the emergency brake

is the only way to stop

this runaway choo-choo.

And I know it's hard to take me seriously

when I say it that way, but still!

- No! There's got to be another way.

- Poppy?

See? How do you expect to stop

before we reach the Welcome Party?

[cheering]

On a wing and a hair, Branch.

On a wing and a hair.

[grunts]

Ugh!

[grunting]

Who wants cake?

[cheering]

Cake, cake, cake, cake!

Poppy, that was incredible!

Through sheer grit and determination,

you beat all the odds.

Not to mention several

basic laws of physics!

[chuckles]

Yeah!

Wait, which laws of physics?

Well, for starters,

every action has an equal

and opposite reaction.

Uh-oh.

[Poppy and Branch screaming]

Aww

Oh, no. Oh, no! Oh, no!

Ah!

The cake's okay!

Ha! We landed

on the supplemental track!

Wait, the supplemental track?

Doesn't that lead to

[both gasp]

The loop d'!

Okay, Poppy, please,

this is life and death here.

I mean, I know it's really,

really good cake, but

Yeah, I know, we've gotta

pull the emergency brake.

[sighs]

I just really wanted to have a celebration

worthy of our achievement, y'know,

but I gotta face facts. All of

those plans have been derailed.

Well, y'know what?

[chuckles]

- I say let it get derailed.

- Huh?

[Branch chuckles]

Yeah. Plans always seem

to go off track in TrollsTopia.

But then, somehow,

we end up having a blast anyway.

Yeah.

Hey, yeah, a blast!

R! B! Are you there?

- Yeah, still here.

- Just hangin' around.

POPPY: I need you to get all the

Trolls to the loop d', fast!

So there he was.

My Daddy had already been

three baby showers

garbage-flavored cupcakes

Wow, you, uh

You really thought that through.

You must be very excited to celebrate

your first Dadurday tomorrow.

Ooh! You'll love it, Tiny, it's

a special day for kids and dads

Oh, and telling dad jokes!

Hey, Dad!

Did you get a haircut?

No, I got 'em all cut!

Wow, Daddy!

Are Queen Poppy and Queen

Poppy's Daddy for real?

Do we get to do all

that tomorrow, too?

Pff, of course!

What kind of dad would I be

if we didn't celebrate Dadurday?

I cannot celebrate Dadurday!

Aw!

That's a healthy expression

of affection right there, bro.

Wow, Daddy,

I knew you were all that.

But you're even better at this

Dad stuff than I thought!

we should sign you up

Yeah.

Perhaps our dads will scale

- Dad.

Or will it be white water rafting

for dads!

Hmm, we should

work on that name.

It's white water rafting!

Oh! My Daddy wants in!

Right, Daddy?

Uh

Interesting strategy.

Hey, hey, hey. Daddy's friends?

What's wrong with Daddy?

your Daddy might not be quite

as good at all this Dad stuff

as he was lettin' on.

Guy!

Your Daddy-friends

already told me everything!

You gotta get outta there!

But this isn't how I wanted

this to go, Tiny!

there's plenty of things

you can't do, Daddy.

Huh? You do?

Uh, yeah!

Remember when you built my bike?

- Oh.

- And I know you spray glitter on your bald spot!

And I also know

that your calves ain't real.

- Okay! That's enough!

- But I don't care about any of that.

There's only one reason

you're my hero, Daddy.

Because you're my Daddy.

Get me out of here!
