Trolls is bringing the party to Tubi soon

The candy-colored animated adventure has songs, hugs, and just enough grump to keep things honest.

Remind Me

Before Trolls became a whole glitter-powered pop universe, the 2016 movie kicked open the door with bright colors, huge songs, and the kind of animated confidence that says, yes, the hair is part of the adventure.

The story follows Poppy and Branch as two total opposites forced into the same rescue mission after the Bergens crash into their village. One runs on sunshine. The other runs on suspicion. Naturally, the universe puts them in charge together.

Trolls is coming soon to Tubi, and it is worth getting on the family list early, especially if your household appreciates music, chaos, tiny felt people, and emotional breakthroughs with excellent hair volume.

The Cast

Anna Kendrick as Poppy

Kendrick gives Poppy the exact kind of optimism that could power a small city. She is all glitter, nerve, and heart, but the performance works because Poppy’s cheer is never empty. She believes joy is something you fight for.

Justin Timberlake as Branch

Timberlake makes Branch more than the resident grump with great timing. His dry reactions bounce perfectly against Poppy’s nonstop sparkle, and his guarded energy gives the movie a real emotional counterweight under all the color and music.

Zooey Deschanel as Bridget

Deschanel brings a sweet, shy sincerity to Bridget, the Bergen who wants more from life than gloom and routine. Her scenes add a softer kind of magic, turning awkwardness and longing into something genuinely easy to root for.

Christine Baranski as Chef

Baranski plays Chef with sharp theatrical flair, giving the movie a villain who treats every scheme like dinner service with higher stakes. She brings the right amount of grand menace to a world made of felt, hair, and pure sugar rush.

“Bring your glitter. We have friends to save.”

Why Watch It

Trolls knows exactly what it is: a bright, music-forward family movie with a big heart and a very serious commitment to joy. The jokes move fast, the songs land, and the animation has that toy-box energy kids can lock onto in about three seconds.

It also works for anyone who likes their animated movies with real contrast. Poppy’s fearless optimism and Branch’s carefully protected gloom make a fun odd-couple engine, and the movie gets a lot of mileage from letting both of them be right in different ways.

Add this one to the coming-soon radar if you need a family pick that feels upbeat without being empty. Trolls is arriving on Tubi soon, hair flips and all.
