OUR RATING: ★★★☆☆

Story:

Animated musical comedy sequel directed by Walt Dohrn and Tim Heitz. In Trolls Band Together (2023) Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are now officially, finally, a couple. 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 (Troye Sivan), John Dory (Eric André), Spruce (Daveed Diggs), and Clay (Kid Cudi). BroZone disbanded when Branch was still a baby, as did the family, and Branch hasn’t seen his brothers since. But when Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop-star villains, Velvet (Amy Schumer) and Veneer (Andrew Rannells), 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.

Best Quotes

John Dory: Alright, guys. We’re going to open with “Girl, Baby, Baby” and close with “Baby, Baby, Girl”. Wait, no. That doesn’t sound right. Ooh! I got it. Open with “Baby, Baby, Girl”, close with “Baby, Baby, Girl, Woman”.

John Dory: God, I want to boil an egg on those abs.
Clay: John Dory, do I really have to keep wearing these things?
John Dory: Yes, you do, Clay. They’re funderdrawers. It’s underwear, but seventy-six percent more fun.

Floyd: Hey, Branch. How you feeling?
Baby Branch: I feel like I’m going to barf, and pass out, and…
Floyd: Pee your pants all at once?
Baby Branch: How did you know?

Floyd: You got the pre-show jitters. Completely normal. Everyone gets them. You want to know what I do when I get them?
Baby Branch: Barf, pass out and pee your pants?
Floyd: I remember that I’m with my brothers, and that when we come together, there is nothing that we can’t do.

John Dory: If we can’t hit the perfect family harmony, we aren’t perfect. And if we aren’t perfect, we’re nothing. Just follow my lead, and the harmony will happen.

Concert Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, here they are! The Heartthrob! The Fun Boy. The Sensitive One. The Leader. And The Baby! Give it up for BroZone!

John Dory: [after their concert performance is ruined] See what happens when you don’t follow my lead?
Spruce: Dude, that is exactly what happens when we follow your lead.

Spruce: You know what? I’m done playing the heartthrob. My exquisitely chiselled, rock-hard abs and I quit.
Clay: I quit too, and you can keep these. I’m more than just the fun one. I’m in a sad book club. Did you know that? A sad book club. I’m going to find trolls who take me seriously.

John Dory: I don’t need this. I’m out. I’m done. I’m sorry. I’m going to go hike the Neverglade Trail by myself. Bro-lone. Yeah, that’s right. Bro-bro going solo. YOLO. Goodbye forever.

Floyd: Right now I have to follow my heart. It’s telling me that it’s time to start a solo career.
Baby Branch: But what am I going to do?
Floyd: Branch, you are going to do the most important thing of all. You’re going to take care of Grandma.

Poppy: Branch.
Branch: What? Oh, hey.
Poppy: Are you alright? You’re smiling and crying at the same time. It kind of looks like it’s hurting your face.
Branch: It does hurt my face.

Branch: Oh, hey. Look at the time. We’re going to be late to the royal wedding. Let’s go get married.
Poppy: Branch!
Branch: What? I mean, let’s get Bridget and Gristle married.
Poppy: Yeah. Oh. Because it would be weird if we got married.
Branch: Yeah. So weird. Duh.
Poppy: Wow. The weirdest. It’s like weird that we’re still talking about how weird it was. It’s like fifteen seconds later.
Branch: Yeah. Blech.
Poppy: Blech.

Prince D: Yoh. Looking sick, King G.
Cloud Guy: You could say that again.
[vomits glitter]

Guy Diamond: Look at you, Tiny Diamond. You make the cutest little flower boy.
Tiny Diamond: Oh, come on, Daddy. I’m not a baby anymore! I’m the cutest little flower man!
Guy Diamond: But, Tiny, you’re only a month old.

Poppy: I love you like a sister. Probably. I don’t have a sister, so I wouldn’t know. Which is fine. It’s something I’m coming to terms with. Slowly.
Bridget: Poppy? Can we maybe unpack the sister thing after the vows?

Miss Maxine: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the sweet, sweet love of Bridget, hey, girl, and Mr. Yummy-Tummy himself, King Gristle. Now, falling in love is easy. We’ve all done it. I’ve done it a hundred times. Thousands, even, if you count that semester I spent abroad.

John Dory: Stop the wedding!
King Gristle: Bridget, do you know this guy?
Bridget: I can’t remember all my suitors, Grissy.

John Dory: Baby Branch!
Branch: You’re making a mistake, stranger-that-looks-similar-to-me. There’s no Branch here.
John Dory: Look at you. You got so big. You’re not a branch anymore. You’re more like a trunk. Junk in the trunk.

John Dory: I’m Branch’s brother.
Poppy: What?
Tiny Diamond: Ooh, drama! Corn me, Dinkles.
Branch: Correction. Used to be my brother. Not anymore.

Poppy: Hey, remember earlier when I said you should open up to me and be real? You could’ve started by telling me you had a secret brother!
Branch: Former brother.
Poppy: That’s not how DNA works!

Poppy: Oh, my gosh. I was being so rude. I’ve never met anyone from Branch’s family before. I’m Poppy, Branch’s girlfriend. Should we hug, fist-bump, smile and wave for now and see where the night takes us?
John Dory: All of the above.

Poppy: Okay, well, you’re not the heartthrob.
John Dory: Well, that’s your opinion.
Poppy: The fun one? No, you’re kind of uptight.
John Dory: Uptight?
Poppy: Not the sensitive one either.
John Dory: Okay. A lot of assumptions for someone you just met thirty seconds ago.
Poppy: Oh. Oh! I’ve got it. You’re John Dory.
John Dory: The leader.
Poppy: The old one!

Branch: He realized I was still alive. Twenty years too late!
Poppy: Hi. Sorry. He gets hangry if he skips breakfast.
Branch: I had breakfast. It was avocado toast with two poached eggs, some cayenne for a little kick. And you know what? It was delightful.

Branch: I bet you he’s only here because he needs something.
Poppy: That’s not true. He’s your brother.
John Dory: Branch, I’m going to be straight with you. I need something.
Branch: And there it is.

Floyd: The bottle is made of diamond. And there’s only one thing that’s powerful enough to shatter diamond.
John Dory: Right. A diamond-shattering diamond hammer. Where can we get one of those?
Floyd: No, John. It’s the perfect family harmony.

Poppy: This is your second chance with your brothers, Branch.

Poppy: BroZone 2.0. BroZone reunion. BroZone, here we bro again. BroZone where did they bro? I don’t know. We’re going to find them!

Velvet: So, what do you want to know? I’m an open book.
Veneer: Wide-open. We’re gaping novels.

Velvet: Well, time for a spritz.
Floyd: No. Please! I barely have any talent left to give. I mean, maybe like a desperate Christmas album, or a one-off national anthem performance. But that is it!

Velvet: Veneer, what’s with your vibe and your face? Why do you have resting-moody-vibe face?

Poppy: Tiny! What are you doing here?
Tiny Diamond: Well, Aunt Poppy, for your information, I am no longer a baby. I am a big boy now. And I’m on a man-sized rite of passage to learn lessons of life, courage, and maybe love.

John Dory: Should we be letting a baby drive?
Tiny Diamond: Not to worry, fellow grown-up. I have procured my learner’s permit.
Poppy: [looking at Tiny’s permit] Who is Adulty McManface?
Tiny Diamond: The better question is, are you a narc?
Poppy: What? No. No. Why? Are you?

Poppy: Check out your old outfits. Puffy jackets. Puka shell necklaces. Denim tuxedos? Branch, did you have frosted tips?
Branch: Yeah. It was an era.
John Dory: Don’t forget his perm.
Poppy: No way! Pictures or it didn’t happen.

John Dory: But we had to pull the plug when he tried to frost his perm.
Branch: It was an era!
John Dory: Tragic.

Poppy: Who wrote, “Girl, I Love Your Love, Girl, You Break My Heart, Girl, I Still Love You, But I Seriously Think We Should Have A Talk About Our Relationship, Girl”?
John Dory: That was Branch.
Poppy: Shut up! That was my favorite BroZone song, like, ever.
John Dory: JK! Also me. Branch has never written a song.
Branch: I was a baby. What did you want me to write about, diaper rash?

Poppy: Branch, do you know how lucky you are? A brother is a friend who can never leave you. It’s the strongest bond in the world. I would kill to have a sibling to sing with, Branch.

Spruce: The last time I saw you, you were in diapers.
Branch: Diapers. Right.
Spruce: Wet willy!
Branch: Stop it. That’s disgusting. I am a grown-up.
Spruce: Oh, sorry. A wet William.

Spruce: This is my wife and business partner, Brandy. She is my soulmate. My very tall soulmate. But we make it work.
John Dory: How?
Brandy: We don’t even really know how it works. I’m kidding. I’m not. I don’t know.

Velvet: Do you want to lose all this and go back to the dark place where we had nothing?
Young Veneer: [looking like Oliver Twist] Please, sir, I want some more.
Veneer: [to Vevelt] Girl, we grew up in the suburbs. Our parents were dentists.

Velvet: And when I met you, you were literally sucking your thumb and pooping all over the place.
Veneer: You met me when I was a baby, so.

Floyd: Yeah, sure, dying sucks, but at least it’s for some sweet “bling-a-ding” and some boho-chic home furnishings.
Veneer: You get it.

Spruce: We’re a total Veneer household.
John Dory: They’re the ones who have Floyd.
Spruce: It’s going to be hard to separate the art from the artist.

John Dory: Hey, Tiny. You see that button?
Tiny Diamond: Uh, yeah.
John Dory: That beautiful shiny button.
Tiny Diamond: Oh, you mean the button that is taking every fiber of my being not to press? Yeah. I see it.
John Dory: Press it.
Tiny Diamond: Ooh! Heck, yeah! Ooh! Let’s hustle, daddy!

Branch: Are we sure this is where Clay lives?
Tiny Diamond: Are we sure? Our GPS is an armadillo bus sniffing used undies. So, no. We’re not sure.

Spruce: I think this is the place from every true crime podcast I’ve ever listened to.

Menacing Voice: Wait a second. You’re trolls?
Branch: So what? You’re a clown.
Viva: [after she pops out of the clown’s mouth] Oh, my gosh! Hello! My name is Viva. It is so “fantastamazing” to see other Trolls.

Viva: So, “fantastamazing” is my own personal word. It means, fantastic and amazing. I used to say “amastic”, but then I was like, “That’s not good.”
Poppy: “Fantasawsome”!
Viva: That’s different, but that works too. Way to make it your own.
Poppy: Is this how people feel when they meet me?
Branch: Yes.
Viva: Am I being a lot? Sometimes I can be a lot.

Poppy: Did you just braid my hair?
Viva: You’re welcome. It looks so good.
Poppy: I love it!

Clay: We call burgers “meat circles”.

Poppy: Can you do the Rusty Robot for me?
Clay: Yeah. No. I don’t do that anymore, okay?
Poppy: Right. Kidding. Can you imagine? I wouldn’t ask you to do that after meeting you two seconds ago. Who would do that?
Clay: Yeah. It’s just that Fun Boy Clay is dead. Serious Boy Clay only does the Well-Oiled Robot. And it is no fun.
Poppy: I mean, that’s still pretty fun.

Tiny Diamond: Okay, either they just made that up, or I have not been paying attention.

Tiny Diamond: [after Viva reveals she’s Poppy’s sister] Hey, man. Am I the only one without a long-lost sibling?

Branch: Viva, look, I used to be just like you. I built a bunker, and I lived in it for years because I knew it was safe. And, sure, it kept me alive. And I never had to wear pants. But I was living without pants. Does that make sense?
Tiny Diamond: Well, I feel judged.

Poppy: [to Viva] I know you think it’s risky, and maybe it is, but it’ll be worth it. Family’s always worth it.

Velvet: I want to be famous, but I’m not going to work for it. Ew.

Floyd: Just because she’s your sister doesn’t mean you should let her treat you like garbage.
Veneer: Doesn’t it?
Floyd: No. Sibling or not, you deserve to be treated with kindness, and to be around people who would never try to change the you that you are.

John Dory: Bitty B, maybe a smaller diaper.
Branch: If this diaper was any smaller, I could taste it.
Tiny Diamond: That’s why I don’t wear one of those. It’s a hard fit to pull off.

Bridget: Grissy, I didn’t think we’d both find ourselves tied up on this honeymoon.

Tiny Diamond: I’m tired. Carry me.
Poppy: You have to walk on your own, Tiny. You have to be a big boy.
Tiny Diamond: But my feet hurt. I don’t want to.

Branch: How do you know which wires to cut?
Poppy: I don’t. I’m just blasting everything until something turns off.

Floyd: Branch? Is it really you?
Branch: Yeah. It’s really me.
Floyd: Wow. You’ve really grown into that vest. You’re a man now.
Branch: Oh! Finally, somebody gets me.

Velvet: Let’s go autograph some butts.
Veneer: Oh, that’s fun. I’ll grab my butt marker.

King Gristle: Bridgey, loving you is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Bridget: Would it be weird if we made out?
King Gristle: Babe, it would be weird if we didn’t.

Viva: So, you’re really not going to eat us?
Bridget: No. But I understand the fear. If you want, I can open my mouth, and you can take tiny steps toward it, letting yourself feel, and breathe your way through the anxiety. It’s called systematic desensitization.
Viva: Or I let you go, and you promise not to eat us.
Bridget: Oh, that’s fine too.

Velvet: Okay, how’s my aura?
Veneer: Confident-yet-grateful-to-your-teachers-and-everyone-who-got-you-here-tonight?
Velvet: That’s what I’m going for.

Velvet: You didn’t think we were just going to give you a boring, old stage show, did you?
Mt. Rageon Fan: That’s what we explicitly bought tickets for.

Tiny Diamond: Guys, what does “End of the Road” mean?

Poppy: Can you please drop us off at that boat down there?
Hustle-Man: Abso-hustle-y!
Branch: Not literally!

Tiny Diamond: Hold on to your cupcakes!

Velvet: It’s like I don’t even know who you are.
Veneer: Yeah, you do. And you asked me to change anyway. Which isn’t okay. Family or not.

Poppy: So, how you feeling?
Branch: Happy. Grateful. And really sorry that it’s taken me this long to open up to you.
Poppy: Woh, TMI! Boundaries, my man. That is a lot of feelings.

King Peppy: Hey, Viva, do you want to make candy necklaces that we never finish because we eat all the candy?
Viva: Great minds think alike, Daddy.

Clay: Hey, you want to join my sad book club? It’s really cool. We just sit around and hug and stuff. And cry.
Branch: [awkwardly] Yeah. Totally.

Floyd: I can’t believe that we almost missed out on all this. We may not be the new kids on the block anymore, but I’m loving this new edition of us.
Clay: You know, I’m really glad those ninety-eight degrees of separation are behind us.
John Dory: Just as long as we’re together.

Branch: Poppy, I have a small proposal. Will you…
Poppy: Join the band? Of course I will. I thought you would never ask.
Branch: You know me too well. Now get up here and sing with us.

Tiny Diamond: [mid-credits lines] I’m enjoying the journey. I’m growing. I’m developing. I feel strong every day. But, you know, I thought I was ready to be a man. But I’m going to keep it baby for a while.

Crimp: [end-credits lines] Oh, wow. It’s like sunshine in my earholes.
