01x01 - TrollsTopia

[bunniefuu]

[music plays]

[theme music plays]

[Poppy] By nature,

Trolls are determined

to make friends

wherever they go.

Friend! Friend! Friend! Ow!

[Poppy] Maybe too determined.

- Friend! Ow! Friend! Ow! Friend!

- [Poppy] So when I learned

that there were all sorts

of new Trolls out there,

it was like there were

[gasps] Friends everywhere!

- [Poppy] Ah, wait.

- Huh?

I've gotten ahead of myself.

Let me back it up.

Recently, my people discovered

we aren't the only Trolls.

We're just the Pop Trolls,

one of many separate tribes

scattered throughout the world.

There's

the Country Western Tribe

- [country music plays]

- Classical

- [classical music plays]

- Funk

- [funky music plays]

- Techno

and Hard Rock.

Actually,

we weren't always separate.

You know what?

Let me back it up even more.

Fourteen billion years ago,

when the cosmos

was still new

Uh, Poppy?

I think you've gone

too far back.

Oh, you're right.

[scoffs] What I'm trying to say is that

it's been weeks since we found out

about the other tribes,

you guys.

But we're no better friends

with them now than we were then.

- Oh, wow.

- She's right.

I mean, I don't

wanna get hysterical here,

but it's starting

to feel like they're our

- acquaintances.

- [all scream]

Mr. Dinkles, I don't ever

want you using that word.

Poppy, we all wanna be better

friends with the tribes,

but they live so far away.

What can we do?

I'll tell you what, DJ.

We can convince them

to move to Troll Village

to live with us.

[all] Ooh!

Just close your eyes

and imagine hundreds of Trolls

from each tribe

living in harmony.

[gasps]

Forming a new Troll city

that celebrates

- the diversity of our cultures.

- Yes! We're all there!

- Satin's outfit is hideous.

- Hey!

A beacon of love

and friendship for everyone!

I'm flying, Mr. Dinkles!

I'm flying!

All of us together,

different but unified.

Like like

Like many garments

forming one fashion line?

Like many weights

forming one dumbbell?

Like many glitters forming

one glorious glitter fart!

[squeaky fart]

Good suggestions.

I'll keep working on it.

But I do know this.

We'll call it "TrollsTopia."

- Huh?

- [all] Ooh!

Speaking as a parent,

count me in.

I'd love to expose

Tiny Diamond to new cultures.

He absorbs foreign concepts easily

at this stage of development.

Yeah, Daddy,

my brain is a sponge for reals!

- [horns blaring]

- [laughs]

We all love the idea, Poppy.

It's a stroke of genius.

[cheering]

Thank you, guys. Wow!

Overwhelming support without

a single voice of dissent!

Why does that not feel right?

Wait, we're missing someone.

Oh, yeah. TrollsTopia,

that's a great idea.

- [all groan]

- Voice of dissent, check.

Sorry, guys,

but let's be realistic here.

You're asking big groups of Trolls

to move away from their homes

to live with

a bunch of strangers.

I just don't know many Trolls

who would sign up for that.

Gee, I guess I didn't

think about it that way.

- Oh, man!

- [all groaning]

Oh, wait! Yes, I did!

And I already have a solution!

- [cheering]

- That's called a misdirect, boy!

Huh

We're sending out these cards

inviting an ambassador

from each Troll tribe to visit.

Then, after we've shown them how

incredibly fun life here can be,

- we pitch them TrollsTopia.

- [all] Ooh!

It's like when you go to a cupcake

shop and they give you a sample.

And it tastes so good, you wanna move into

that shop and eat cupcakes every day!

I see. Showing

the ambassadors a super fun time

is giving them a cupcake so they'll

wanna move into TrollsTopia

and bring all their friends

with them!

- [gasps] Metaphor!

- [all cheering]

It's settled, then. Tell the whole

village we have guests coming!

It's time to get ready!

Yay.

Voice of dissent, double check.

- Welcome positions!

- [loud stomp]

Oh! That gallop sounds like

our Country Western ambassador.

Their songs will make you

get up and yee-haw!

Howdy, y'all!

Whoa!

- [gasps]

- Oh!

Welcome! I'm Poppy,

and according to your RSVP,

I'm guessing you're

Holly Darlin'

from the Country Western tribe!

Queen Poppy,

it is such a pleasure!

I've never met a real life queen

before, on account of my tribe

being less of a monarchy

and more of an oligarchy,

but [laughs] to each his own.

- Say, you're cute!

- Uh

- Selfie!

- [camera whines]

That's a good one,

I'll send you a copy.

Let's party, y'all! Whoo-hoo!

- Well, nice to meet you too.

- [loud beat plays]

- Whoa!

- [all] Ooh!

You guys feel that bass?

I'd say the Techno ambassador's

about to drop a beat!

Hey, yo! What up, Trolls?

[all chattering]

You must be Synth.

And you must be Poppy!

It is so [imitates

horn blast] to meet you.

Allow me to say hello the

Techno way, with a Rave Wave!

[dance music plays]

[laughs] I love this!

[music continues]

- Does it ever stop?

- [laughs] Sometimes!

Now, let's party!

- Okay, you're delightful.

- [classical music plays]

[gasps] What an elegant,

heavenly sound.

It can only be the delegate

from the Classical Tribe!

Greetings!

Dante Crescendo, royal composer.

Please, accept this anthem as

a commemoration of our greeting.

- [classical music plays]

- [vocalizing]

[gasps]

No! You're flat.

[gasps]

- Better.

- Yes!

- [crowd cheering]

- A true masterpiece.

Hm. I don't see the ambassador

from the Funk Tribe.

Oh, don't worry about that,

Poppy.

If there's one thing I've learned

about the tribe of my birth

- [gasps]

- [funk music plays]

- [all] Ooh!

- it's that they know how to make an entrance.

[music continues]

Are you Lownote Jones?

[chuckles]

You got that right, baby.

- [all] Whoa!

- Your voice.

How do you make everything

sound so cool?

It's 'cause

I have long vocal cords,

which are folds of membranous

tissues protruding from the larynx

to form a slit across

the glottis of my throat.

Okay, all those words were really

gross, but they sounded so cool.

- [all] Yeah!

- [laughs]

- Cooper.

- Lownote.

[both make sh**ting sound]

So, that just leaves

the ambassador

from the home of our

good friend, Queen Barb,

the Hard Rock Tribe!

- And her name is

- [electric guitar plays]

Val Thundershock! Whoo!

[expl*si*n]

Well, hi, Val. Welcome.

I am so glad you came.

Wait, wait, wait!

Glad I came?

Why wouldn't I come?

Rocker Trolls don't follow

through on their commitments?

What? No, not at all. I absolutely

expected you to be here.

Oh! Expected me to be here?

So when Queen Poppy sends

a Rocker Troll an invitation,

they're just supposed to drop everything

and come running? Is that it?

What? No, no! That

I mean, I I

Just messin' with ya, Popsqueak.

[laughs]

Oh! [laughs]

- Or am I?

- Ah!

- I am

- [nervous chuckle]

- not messing with you.

- What?

- [laughs] Man, I rock so hard.

- But I don't

[laughs] That was excruciating.

I've never seen someone throw

off your positivity like that.

- Uh, I don't

- I like her.

Well, everyone's here. What now?

Now, we show these Trolls

the time of their lives.

Let's give them the cupcake.

[gasps] Metaphor!

To begin, we serve a 39 course

ice cream banquet!

- For Dante, classic vanilla.

- Ooh!

For Val, dark, dark,

dark chocolate.

And for Holly Darlin', a country

western specialty, ice cream jerky.

Ah! My favorite! Chocolate,

vanilla and mesquite barbecue.

Mm! Whoo-hoo!

- [gasps]

- What?

Yo, what is this?

Is this glitter?

- It's glitter!

- Wonderful!

Glitter simply falls

from the sky here?

Huh what other explanation

can there be?

[all] For TrollsTopia!

Oh. Back at you, Lownote.

Think we've given them

the cupcake now, Poppy?

Yes, Smidge. This is the perfect

time to pitch them TrollsTopia.

[clears throat] Excuse me!

Excuse me, friends!

There's something that I would

like to talk to you about,

if you don't mind.

Looks to me like you guys

are all having a lot of fun.

- You got that right, baby.

- lndeed!

- Mind-blowing!

- Whoo-hoo!

- Meh.

- [gasps]

- Val, what did you say?

- I said meh!

But why "meh?"

What about the ice cream

and the sky glitter,

didn't you enjoy that?

I guess. But in my tribe,

real fun is about being reckless

and breaking rules.

Nothing about this place rocks.

Anyway, I'm bored.

I'm gonna go crash.

There will be no encore.

[announcer] No encore!

No, Val, wait! [groans]

[Biggie] I

I don't understand.

So we didn't

give Val the cupcake?

No, we did. [sighs]

I just forgot

some Trolls prefer brownies.

But, Poppy,

the other ambassadors,

are you still gonna tell them

about TrollsTopia?

Not without

the Hard Rock Trolls.

The whole point of TrollsTopia is

to bring all the tribes together.

Aw! TrollsTopia's not working?

But I was such a big fan!

Ah! Not now, Branch.

There's only one thing

to do, guys.

If Val says that we've gotta

rock to show her a good time,

then, by all that's Trolly,

we're gonna rock.

[snoring]

[feedback]

[guitar plays loudly]

Huh! What what was that?

[Poppy] Sorry about the volume,

Val.

- Guess we're just being

- [plays chord]

reckless.

So, what, you glitter puffs

want me to think

you're rockers now?

Oh, we'll surprise you.

Sure, during the day,

we might play it cute and sweet.

Yeah, some might

even say we're as cute

as a newborn puppy opening

its eyes for the first time.

- [laughs]

- That's too much, Guy.

- Dial it back.

- Message received.

[laughs]

Point is, when the sun goes down,

the rebel in us cuts loose.

- [loud guitar plays]

- [Val] Really?

You guys like bein' wild

and breakin' rules?

You got that right! That's why I

ignore the rules on most card games.

Oh, I will Go Fish

whenever I want!

[all] Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

All right, Popsqueak,

if you rock so hard,

let's see you keep up with this.

[rock music plays]

I came to rock

I got the fire ♪

Ragin' inside me

and it's burnin' strong ♪

Ow! I never stop

I'm a live wire ♪

Yeah, I can rock

until the morning comes, ow! ♪

I live for the pandemonium ♪

Loud, rough, raw ♪

I'm not just sweet

I rock hard ♪

[guitar solo]

- [grunts]

- [grunts]

- [grunts]

- Yeah!

[grunting]

- Huh?

- [all shouting]

Whoa. No, no, this is too much!

Guys!

Wait! Guys, no!

[grunting] Huh?

[gasps] Oh, no! The ambassadors!

- What's goin' on out here?

- Oh, my goodness.

- I can't even believe.

- [all chattering]

- [sighs]

- [all sigh]

Y'all? What is goin' on, y'all?

I am so sorry, things just

got a little out of hand.

But I swear, we're not

really that aggressive.

We were just pretending

to be rockers and

Pretending? I knew it.

This was just a big show

to fake me out.

No, Val, that's not true.

I mean, yes, we've been trying

to make a good impression,

but I wouldn't call it

"putting on a show."

Yeah, we call it "giving you a cupcake,"

and we're doing it to everybody!

- [Synth] Everybody?

- [gasping]

No, no, that's not it. I mean,

yes, we call it that, but

Whatever, I'm packing my bags,

man. Val is out!

- [guitar plays]

- [firecrackers pop]

[announcer] Later!

Yes, it appears it's time

we all packed our bags.

[classical music plays]

- Uh-huh.

- [bass notes plays]

But [sighs]

Well, go ahead and say it,

Branch, you were right.

TrollsTopia was a terrible idea.

Wait. What do you mean?

What do you mean,

What do you mean?

I never said TrollsTopia

was a terrible idea.

Weren't you listening to me?

Oh, yeah, TrollsTopia,

that's a great idea.

Whoo-hoo! TrollsTopia. Yay.

Aw, TrollsTopia's not working?

But I was such a big fan.

What? Branch! That all sounded

completely sarcastic!

Really? Geez,

I gotta work on that.

[groans]

Poppy, I think TrollsTopia

is an amazing idea.

Maybe your best idea.

And that's saying something.

I never wanted you

to give up on it.

I just wanted you

to be realistic about

how challenging it would be.

And that's okay.

If the idea is good enough,

it's worth rising

to the challenge.

Thanks, Branch.

I needed to hear that.

And maybe

everybody else does too.

[exhales]

Excuse me, everyone.

Look, this feels like

the worst possible timing,

but there's

something I wanna say.

Just close your eyes

and imagine.

Hundreds of Trolls

from each tribe, living in

All of us together.

Different, but unified.

Forming a new Troll city,

that celebrates one

another's cultures,

as a tribute

to all of Troll-kind.

And we'll call it TrollsTopia.

- Hm

- Okay.

[all chattering]

I know it's a lot.

I mean, we have a long history

of seeing things differently.

And, to be honest,

there are things that you all

say and do that I don't get.

Don't get? Oh, I see.

So just 'cause I'm a Hard Rock

Troll, I'm hard to understand.

Actually, yeah,

Val, to me you are.

Oh. Okay. Rock on.

The point is that coming

together would be challenging.

But if you ask me,

it's totally worth it

because it also gives us

a chance to become friends,

to learn from each other and

to grow into one Troll nation,

different but unified,

like, uh, like

Like many notes

making one beautiful chord.

Yes, that's exactly

what I've been trying to say.

Don't get used to it.

Okay.

What about the rest of you?

What do you say?

Well, Poppy,

you're suggestin' we go back

and tell our friends to leave

their homes and to move here.

I gotta say,

that's a lot to ask.

- Mm-hm.

- That's what I was thinkin'.

Yeah. Yeah, I get that.

And I fully respect

your decision.

Then again

Dang, y'all, we sure do make

some great music together!

You got that right, baby.

Let's do it!

[cheering]

'Cause that's how

[squeals] Branch!

We're about to meet

all of the new citizens

of TrollsTopia!

I can't wait!

Oh, yeah, I can't wait either.

- No, no, really.
