'''''Trolls Band Together''''' is a 2023 American animated [[jukebox musical]] [[comedy film]] produced by [[DreamWorks Animation]] and distributed by [[Universal Pictures]], based on the ''[[Troll doll|Good Luck Trolls]]'' dolls from [[Thomas Dam]]. It serves as the sequel to ''[[Trolls World Tour]]'' (2020), and the third installment in the [[Trolls (franchise)|''Trolls'' franchise]]. The film was directed by [[Walt Dohrn]] and co-directed by Tim Heitz, and written by Elizabeth Tippet.

[[Anna Kendrick]], [[Justin Timberlake]], [[Zooey Deschanel]], [[Christopher Mintz-Plasse]], [[Icona Pop]], [[Anderson .Paak]], [[Ron Funches]], [[Kenan Thompson]], [[Kunal Nayyar]] and Dohrn reprise their voice roles from previous films, with newcomers [[Eric André]], [[Kid Cudi]], [[Daveed Diggs]], [[Troye Sivan]], [[Camila Cabello]], [[Amy Schumer]], [[Andrew Rannells]], [[RuPaul]] and [[Zosia Mamet]] joining the [[ensemble cast|ensemble voice cast]]. In the film, Branch and Poppy, who are a couple, attempt to rescue Floyd while reuniting Branch's brothers after the boyband phenomenon, BroZone, was disbanded.

Ideas for a third ''Trolls'' film began prior to the release of ''Trolls World Tour'' in April 2020, when Timberlake expressed interest in participating during his [[Apple Music]] takeover. DreamWorks Animation officially confirmed the third film's development in November 2021.  Despite being predominantly CGI animation, with some additional animation by [[DNEG]], the film includes some 2D animation sequences with animation styles inspired by ''[[Yellow Submarine (film)|Yellow Submarine]]'' (1968) and ''[[Fantasia (1940 film)|Fantasia]]'' (1940). [[Theodore Shapiro]] returned to compose the score for the film.

''Trolls Band Together'' was theatrically released in Denmark on October 12, 2023, and in the United States on November 17. The film has grossed $209 million worldwide and received mostly positive reviews from critics.

==Plot==
<!---Per [[WP:FILMPLOT]], film plots should only contain the most essential information and be less than 700 words long.--->
In a flashback, an infant Branch and his four older brothers John Dory, Spruce, Clay and Floyd perform as a [[boyband]] called BroZone. When their clashing egos prevent them from performing the "Perfect Family Harmony", a powerful ability that Trolls can achieve when they are in complete sync, the brothers argue and break up the band. Branch is left alone to be raised by his grandmother Rosiepuff.

In the present, Branch and Poppy attend Bridget and Gristle's wedding in Bergen Town. They are interrupted by John Dory, who reveals that Branch's closest brother Floyd has been captured by Velvet and Veneer, two Mount Rageon teenagers who wish to be pop stars. The siblings have trapped Floyd in a diamond perfume bottle, which they use to extract his essence and improve their singing, although the process could eventually kill him. As the Perfect Family Harmony is the only thing that can destroy diamond, Branch reluctantly agrees to help John Dory find their brothers and rescue Floyd. Along with Poppy and Tiny Diamond, they set out in John Dory's armadillo-like portable van named Rhonda.

They find Spruce at the Vacay Island resort, where he has changed his name to Bruce and started a family. Bruce is reluctant to help, until his wife and kids convince him to do so. The group later finds Clay, who quickly decided to help, at an abandoned Bergen miniature golf course, inhabited by a hidden colony of Pop Trolls who do not know that the Bergens are no longer their enemies, having been separated from the other Pop Trolls when they fled the final Trollstice.{{Efn|As depicted in ''[[Trolls (film)|Trolls]]'' (2016)}} The hidden troll colony's leader, Viva, reveals herself to be Poppy's long-lost sister. At first, Poppy is delighted, but the visit turns sour when Viva refuses to believe the Bergens have changed, and tries to stop Poppy's group from leaving the golf course. They manage to escape thanks to Clay, and Poppy and Viva separate with broken hearts.

Meanwhile, Velvet and Veneer continue to strip Floyd of his essence. Velvet reveals that she forged Floyd's handwriting and sent a note to John Dory, in order to bait Floyd's brothers to come and rescue him. Furthermore, Velvet and Veneer's assistant Crimp invents shoulder-pad suits that enhance the extraction, which the siblings plan to use when they capture all of BroZone.

The Trolls make it to Mount Rageous, but once again argue and fail to reach Perfect Family Harmony. When his brothers decide they will split up again after saving Floyd, Branch scolds them for still treating him like a baby, revealing to them that he lived his whole life alone after their grandmother got eaten. Branch, Poppy and Tiny locate Floyd on their own, but Velvet and Veneer capture John Dory, Clay, and Bruce, making a rescue even more difficult. Branch and Poppy confront Velvet and Veneer when they start mingling with a crowd of fans, prompting them to drive away in their [[limousine]]. During the ensuing chase, Velvet and Veneer begin using the shoulder-pads to extract the essence from Branch’s brothers in order to put on a show. Branch and Poppy are soon helped by Viva, who joined forces with Bridget and Gristle after they stumbled onto the golf course during their [[honeymoon]].

Seeing that Floyd is just about out of essence, Branch tells his brothers that they all simply need to put aside their egos and work as a team. They, along with Poppy and Viva, perform the [[Better Place (NSYNC song)|Perfect Family Harmony]] and break free of their prisons just as Floyd loses the last of his essence, but he is quickly revived. Veneer, who had been second-guessing Velvet's machinations, publicly confesses everything, and they are sent to prison.

The Trolls return to Vacay Island and witness BroZone's comeback concert, joined by Kismet, another band Branch was once part of.

===Critical response===
{{Rotten Tomatoes prose|63|5.9|91|consensus=''Trolls Band Together'' serves up another amusing, eye-catching outing that should entertain young fans of the franchise while remaining perfectly painless for parents.|access-date=June 26, 2024|ref=y}} {{Metacritic film prose|53|13|ref=yes|access-date=November 18, 2023}} Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, same as the first film, while those polled by [[PostTrak]] gave it an 85% overall positive score, with 67% saying they would definitely recommend the film.<ref name=opening/>

[[Frank Scheck]] of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' gave the film a positive review, writing, "Elizabeth Tippet's screenplay garners laughs thanks to the sheer volume of jokes (the hit-to-miss ratio is pretty unbalanced), and there are several amusing one-liners about the music business."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Scheck |first=Frank |author-link=Frank Scheck |date=November 14, 2023 |title=''Trolls Band Together'' Review: Groan-Worthy Threequel Mines Justin Timberlake's Boy-Band Past |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/trolls-band-together-review-justin-timberlake-1235646941/ |access-date=November 16, 2023 |website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |archive-date=November 15, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231115234725/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/trolls-band-together-review-justin-timberlake-1235646941/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Tatiana Hullender of ''[[Screen Rant]]'' rated the film 2.5 out of 5 score, writing "''Trolls Band Together'' shows clear signs of franchise fatigue, but a few new songs and vivid animation choices keep it afloat a little longer."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hullender |first=Tatiana |author-link=Frank Scheck |date=November 14, 2023 |title=''Trolls Band Together'' Review: Slick But Soulless Production Still Appeals To Kids |url=https://screenrant.com/trolls-band-together-review/ |access-date=November 17, 2023 |website=[[Screen Rant]] |archive-date=November 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231116174516/https://screenrant.com/trolls-band-together-review/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
