Starring Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick, Trolls Band Together makes some intriguing animation choices, but this series is running on fumes.
The Big Picture The last year has been surprisingly strong for DreamWorks Animation. Last year, the studio brought Aaron Blabey’s books to life with The Bad Guys, and reinvigorated a long-dormant franchise with the fantastic Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, while this year, we’ve already seen the rare original project from the studio with Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.
Release Date November 17, 2023 Director Walt Dohrn, Tim Heitz Cast Anna Kendrick, Zooey Deschanel, Troye Sivan, Daveed Diggs, Justin Timberlake, Christopher Mintz-Plasse Genres Animation, Adventure, Comedy What Is 'Trolls Band Together' About? Trolls Band Together begins by revealing that Branch used to be in the boy band BroZone with his four brothers before the other members abandoned Branch and went their separate ways.
'Trolls Band Together' Loves Its Boy Bands This is primarily because Trolls Band Together is mostly interested in boy bands—particularly boy bands from the 90s that will at least wake up the parents in the theater. Probably the most charming musical moment here comes in the form of a boy band medley that includes everything from Boys II Men to the Backstreet Boys, and considering these are being sung by Timberlake, this is pure catnip for pop-loving parents who grew up in the 90s.
Even stranger is how Trolls Band Together basically leaves this world’s collection of secondary characters at home. Considering how much of the first two movies was about the trolls as a community, and building this odd cast of creatures, Trolls Band Together mostly ignores these characters in order to introduce an entirely new group. While this does at least save us from having another James Corden film in the world, so much of this film’s eccentric humor was centered around those weirdos.
