Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Lemme get this straight:

Guy Diamond

and Meadow Spriggs

are a party-savin' duo

called "The Life of The Party"?

Uh-huh.

It was a whole thing a while back.

Really? Dang!

How have I not heard 'bout this?

Nice work, Life of the Party.

You guys really are the best!

Which is why

we've never lost a party!

- Huh?

- Who did that?

[Party Pooper laughing evilly]

PARTY POPPER:

It was The Party Pooper!

[gasp]

How long I've waited to exact

my revenge upon all of you.

By pooping the parties

you hold so dear!

[laughs evilly]

Marshtato Mary!

What? Ya'll tellin' me

there's even more backstory?

Uh-huh, see,

that's Marshtato Mary.

Once we thought she was a fairy who

tried to ruin a beloved holiday,

but we stopped her with the power

of hugs and she vowed revenge.

Also, she's super adorable.

What? I'm not adorable!

Take that back or else!

- Aw!

- Enough! Hench-crabs!

Party poop away!

[Screaming]

Guy, the party!

It's slipping away!

Use your ultimate

party-starting dance move!

On it! You there! Party Pooper!

Get a load of The Sparkle!

Ooh, ah, how about that now?

Oh! Mm-mm! Uh-huh!

- Aw!

- C'mon! You know you want to try it!

And you can't destroy a party,

once you've joined it!

That move!

Can't resist it!

Oh, wait.

Yes, I can.

[Gasps]

Consider this party

pooped!

[laughs evilly]

No!

[Screams in slow motion]

No!

Let's go home, guys.

Oh!

Okay, I'm finished. Thank you

for letting me get that out.

You're welcome?

And now, we have to find The Party

Pooper before she strikes again.

- My thoughts exactly!

- Then, Life of the Party, go!

Uh, Guy?

[Chirps]

Oops, sorry!

But it seems the moment I even

think about taking on the Pooper,

I'm seized with an uncontrollable

desire to run and hide.

[Chuckles]

It's weird, right?

It sounds like

you've lost your confidence.

Lost my confidence?

Hmm. I've never experienced that before.

I don't love it.

Well, the best way to combat

a loss of confidence

is to get back out there,

and try again, right?

Actually, I totally disagree!

- Oh.

- What if, instead,

we form an entire team

of party-savers to help us

take on the Pooper?

I mean, who needs

self-confidence

when you have other Trolls

you can count on?

A superhero team, huh?

Hey there.

Hey there. Hey there.

Okay, superhero auditions.

Let's see what you've got!

R-ruh! R-ruh!

Whoo-h*-h*!

R-r-ruh!

The ability to control water,

this is promising.

But, do you have a

cool catchphrase?

Wha?

[Water flushes]

Oh, is that mandatory?

How 'bout, um, um,

"Catch you on the flipper side?"

Or "Time to take

out the splash?"

Or "Sea you later!"

Y'know, like sea like the sea?

I have water powers!

We'll be in touch. Next!

Hyah! Hi-ya!

Hyah, huh! Take that, villain!

Hi-ya! Huh! Huh! Ah!

Alright,

I think we've seen enough, Demo.

- Thank you so much for your audition!

- Audition?

Wow, so much talent!

Guy, Meadow, the hench-crabs are back

and they're pooping like never before!

And just to be clear,

I mean party pooping.

Then it's a good thing

we've selected our team.

All we need now is a name.

for The Partyin' Guardians!

[laugh]

Hmm, I don't know.

It was too easy

to defeat those hench-crabs.

Maybe we're just

that good, y'all.

Yeah, or maybe

the Party Pooper

took one look at us and said:

"I'm outta here."

Yeah, or maybe

the Party Pooper

was just hanging back

before the real attack.

Yeah, or maybe

Wait, what?

My-my, what a high stakes,

yet scrumptious dilemma!

Wait, where's Guy?

Oops, sorry! I ran away

in fear again, apparently.

Whoo, this losing your confidence

thing is a doozy, huh?

Guy, you're the only one who can

stop her! It's all up to you!

Up to me?

I-I can't. I need the team!

Are you okay?

Of course I'm not okay!

Holly Darlin' is not enjoying her meal!

What, what do you mean?

She just said this is great.

Ya'll.

Okay, every time.

Sorry, Dante.

But why?

Of course it is! In fact, I

was just about to say, woo

Spare me the insult of your pity woohoo.

Rest assured, I will win Holly over.

True. And do you know

what else is woohoo-adjacent?

Boohoo.

[Crying]

Oh, hey, hey.

Okay, listen to me.

Who knows why Holly Darlin'

didn't woohoo tonight.

But one thing I do know,

Chez Dante brought a lot

of joy to everyone else.

Okay?

[Sobs]

Yes. Yes! I'm proud

of what I accomplished.

And it's high time

I focus less on the woohoo,

and learn to be satisfied

with the woo-me.

You knew exactly what I needed,

a generous serving

of level-headed perspective!

Yay!

What did he do to Chez Dante?

♪

[Chirps]

Welcome to Dante's

Chili-torium!

Yeehaw!

A chili-torium?

Dante, what's going on?

Simple, Poppy.

To get a woohoo,

I need to appeal more to Holly's

Country Western tastes.

Therefore, 'tis

chili time, you all!

B-but what about

the level-headed perspective?

What about woo-me?

Yeah,

that lasted about six minutes.

Ugh! Dante, I really think

you've gotta stop worrying about

- Holly's approval and let this go.

- I can't!

I'm afraid,

one person not liking my dinner

has a much stronger effect on me than

all those who did like it combined.

Oh, here she comes!

Well, howdy, Holly!

Hey, Dante.

I got your invitation and

My Troll, what are you wearin'?

Ah! You are referring to the

pair of blued jeans I have donned.

Skin tight, as is

the style, hmm?

[Chuckles]

Yeah, I think they

might be a little too tight.

Aren't you uncomfortable?

I have no idea what you mean.

That was exhilarating.

Oh, yes.

Apologies, you all.

Sure is

different in here.

Yes, I was thinking

about the ambiance

and I said to myself: "Dante,

you know what these walls need?

Rusty corrugated sheet metal!"

[scream]

[Dante chuckles]

Let's go over there now!

Now then, allow me to

rustle up some grub, sugah.

Might I recommend two bowls

of our glitterbean chili?

I can attest, it is as

rootin' as it is tootin'!

[Chuckles]

Well, all right.

[Chuckles]

[Gasps]

Dante, this chili's ice-cold.

You do know chili's not supposed

to be chilly, right?

[Chuckles]

Well, of course! Because

that's not confusing at all.

Excuse me one moment, hmm? Uh!

- Dante, wait!

- Chili's not chilly. Pull it together, Crescendo!

Dante, you've gotta stop

pushing this. It's not working!

Not until I

have obtained my woohoo!

If anything I must

push it further!

It must be hotter! Hotter!

Oh, I don't like the sound of that.

Hot chili's up!

Dante?

What in the name of my big,

beautiful hair are you doing?

Serving you chili

in the most Country Western

manner one can conceive!

Whilst riding the back

of a mechanical adora-bull!

- Dante, no, no, don't!

Enough!

Dante Crescendo,

you better start makin' sense

of all this right now!

The hat, the chili, them hip

huggers, this ain't you!

No, ow.

This ain't me.

But I did it because you

didn't like Chez Dante.

- Didn't like it?

- Yes, you didn't woohoo,

Oh, is that what this is about?

I am so sorry, Dante. I wasn't

really myself last night.

- You weren't?

- No, see, I had just spent all day

whippin' you up a congratulations

cupcake casserole.

I was about to leave when, well,

I got so excited thinkin' 'bout

your fancy new restaurant that

Woohoo!

Oh! Oh!

[Gasps]

After that, well, I'm afraid

I just wasn't in a woohoo mood.

Gracious.

So, what Poppy said was true.

It had nothing to do with you

not liking Chez Dante.

Of course it didn't.

I loved it.

And if I made you feel

otherwise, that's my mistake.

Nay, my dear friend. I'm the

one who has made the mistake.

I liked Chez Dante the way it was, and

that should have been enough for me.

I shall return Chez Dante to its

former fanciness, posthaste!

Atta' Troll!

But before you do that,

well, there's no sense in wastin'

all that good glitterbean chili.
