No Celebrities Were Harmed: Velvet and Veneer's plan to "steal talent" from BroZone as an easy route to fame has many direct parallels to the infamous real-life R&B duo Milli Vanilli. After becoming famous overnight in The '80s, Milli Vanilli became the subject of a massive scandal after it was revealed that they never actually sang any of their songs, and had in fact been lip-syncing to another singer's vocals while passing it off as their own work.

Instantly Proven Wrong: Poppy and Branch's argument over John Dory. Branch dismisses the postcard John Dory got from Spruce as enough to track him down, since he thinks the island and sunset on the card doesn't exist, until he sees it just 3 seconds later. It even has the exact message on the postcard "Wish you were here!" floating in the sky.

comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Velvet and Veneer's plot to forcefully "steal talent" from other performers parallels various real-life cases of dishonesty within the music industry, such as plagiarising song lyrics, lip-syncing and even pretending to sing with other people's vocals. Tiny offering Branch to suck on a pacifier after being annoyed by John Dory and Poppy, with Branch saying "I can't get back on that train", is like someone offering you a cigar or drug to deal with a stressful situation and a former addict doesn't wanna relapse into that old habit.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Trolls Band Together / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: Most of the marketing made Branch's brothers seem more callous towards him than they are in the actual film. Branch's grandmother is not shown in the trailer, and the flashback is edited to imply the brothers simply abandoned Branch by himself when they broke up. In the film, Floyd makes sure to leave Branch in the care of their grandmother before he leaves, tying back into Branch's backstory shown in the first film. The trailers gave the impression that Baby Branch screwed up a performance due to pre-show jitters, causing the brothers to leave him. In the opening scene of the movie, while the performance is indeed a disaster, the band breaks up because the brothers are mad at each other, not at Branch (and Floyd even takes time to reassure Branch that it's not his fault they're leaving). Branch claims that his brothers never came back for him, but John Dory claims that he did eventually come back for Branch, but Branch wasn't there (because by then, the last Trollstice had happened and everyone had moved out of the tree to Pop Village), and John Dory didn't even know Branch was still alive until he heard about him saving the world from Queen Barb in the last film.

comment
Failed a Spot Check: When capturing the rest of BroZone, neither Velvet or Veneer seem concerned by or have even noticed the fact that the fifth member of the band - Branch - isn't there with themnote Judging by the fact that they only have four diamond cages - and Branch himself was the literal Baby Of The Bunch in the band's heyday - it's implied that the pair have simply forgotten that BroZone even had a fifth member. As a result, they're completely blindsided when Branch - along with Poppy and Tiny - crashes their award ceremony to rescue his brothers.

Birds of a Feather: When Viva turns out to be Poppy's long-lost sister, she's exactly the sort of sibling Poppy was fantasizing about earlier in the movie; they have the same personalities, the same hobbies, the same interests, they have lots of fun together, etc. The only difference is that unlike Poppy, Viva, who has had no knowledge of the outside world since the night the Trolls escaped Bergen Town, is still afraid of the Bergens, and tries to prevent Poppy from ever leaving again.

Breaking Old Trends
 Trolls Band Together / int_311500f5
comment
Breaking Old Trends: The film deviates from its two predecessors in several ways. This is mainly the result of the movie focused on Branch rather than Poppy. Instead of the prologue being narrated (with Poppy narrating the first film, and Cloud Guy narrating the second) this film opens with an extended flashback to Branch's childhood. Though the wedding at the beginning returns to Bergen Town, the Pop Trolls' village - which is usually the franchise's main setting - is not shown at all. There is no Darkest Hour moment where the trolls lose their happiness and turn grey. A similar effect is employed when Floyd is being drained of his talent, as his colours are shown gradually fading until he eventually turns completely white during his Disney Death, though he soon recovers. This would have changed the Darkest Hour moment into You Are Too Late.

Horrible Honeymoon: Subverted. The newlyweds Gristle and Bridget have a fun offscreen honeymoon, but it takes a turn for the worse when they visit Viva's golf course to get some fries. Since the Trolls there don't trust Bergens, they tie the two up and send them to be mashed up in the giant mouth of the clown. However, Viva recognizes Bridget from Poppy's scrapbook and spares the two.

Five-Second Foreshadowing
 Trolls Band Together / int_381855db
comment
Five-Second Foreshadowing The letter John Dory receives from "Floyd" becomes questionable when we find out Floyd is trapped in a diamond container with no way to mail a letter from there. Turns out it was Velvet who forged the letter to lure him and his brothers into a trap. Additionally, the letter is signed "Floyd the Sensitive One". But when Floyd left in the prologue, he specifically said he was pursuing a solo career. So, why would he sign a letter using his former "Sensitive One" sobriquet that Brozone gave him, when he doesn't want to be a part of Brozone anymore? Because he didn't sign the letter or even write it; Velvet forged the letter, and she signed it using Floyd's Brozone stage name because that's what she's familiar with. Also, the letter says that Floyd is being held against his will by "superstars Velvet and Veneer". But "superstars" sounds like a strangely complimentary nickname to give to people who are sucking the life out of Floyd...because Floyd didn't give them that nickname at all; Velvet forged the letter and called herself and her brother "superstars" to boost her own ego.

Sequel Escalation: Inverted. The first Trolls film was about saving the entire village of Pop Trolls from being captured and eaten by the Bergens, and World Tour upped the ante by introducing other troll tribes and a villainous Rock Troll trying to take over the entire world. In contrast, Band Together has comparatively smaller stakes, and mainly revolves around Poppy and Branch going on a road trip to reunite his family and save his brother from an egotistical pop duo.

Actor Allusion
 Trolls Band Together / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: The film's major revelation that Branch was once a member of a popular boy band is an obvious reference to his actor Justin Timberlake's time as a member of *NSYNC. As such, the film is littered with a number of nods to Timberlake's band days: Branch is revealed to be the youngest of his siblings, and was the literal Baby Of The Bunch during the band's heyday. While not to this same extent, Timberlake is also the youngest member of *NSYNC. When reuniting with John Dory in the opening, an embittered Branch remarks that it's been "over twenty years" since he's seen any of his brothers. In real life, *NSYNC originally dissolved in 2002, just over twenty years before the film's release. Among John Dory’s belongings is a picture of a younger Branch with curly hair, similar to Timberlake's hairstyle during his *NSYNC days. When Branch finally joins in John Dory and Spruce's "Brozone's Back" medley, they sing the chorus of *NSYNC's "I Want You Back". Just before the Dance Party Ending, Branch introduces his brothers and Poppy to some "old buddies" that he invited to perform with them. It turns out to be another troll boy band, all voiced by Timberlake's fellow *NSYNC members, officially reuniting the real-life band for the first time since their separation. Though unnamed in the film itself, merchandise and other materials outside of film reveal that Branch's second boy band is called Kismet, one of the names that *NSYNC considered calling themselves before taking on their final name.

Face Death with Dignity: When Bridget and King Gristle Jr. are captured by the Putt-Putt trolls and sentenced to be executed by the teeth of the park's mechanical clown, Bridget asks if it would be weird if they made out. King Gristle Jr. replies that it would be weird if they didn't, and they decide to spend their last moments alive smooching. This contributes to saving their lives, along with Viva recognizing Bridget from Poppy's scrapbook, as it demonstrates to the trolls that the Bergens are now capable of happiness by themselves and are no longer a troll-eating threat.

Noodle Incident: Gristle and Bridget's honeymoon. It appearently involved Gristle of all people getting both of them kicked out of a water park. We never get the full story, but according to Gristle, it involved Gristle losing his swimming trunks because of a water slide malfunction. Also, Bridget (who spent her whole life as a poor maid in the Bergen's castle) apparently knows how to drive a motorcycle.

Skewed Priorities: During John Dory's crashing of Bridget and Gristle's wedding, Gristle tries to have defuse the situation, because it's holding things up and they have a venue he doesn't wanna miss. Bridget, however, shushes her soon-to-be husband since she enjoys "very hot gossip." Veneer has second thoughts about the plan to drain the talent (and life) out of Floyd, but still won't go against the plan until the end of the movie because he's scared of his sister Velvet, and because he still enjoys all the fame, money, and things he was able to buy. Floyd scoffs that "dying sucks", but he's glad his death will at least serve the cause of Boho-chic home decorations for Veneer.

 Trolls Band Together / int_3e87fc1f
comment
Psychological Projection: Poppy spends the first half of the movie really hoping Branch can make up with his brothers, because she always wanted to have a sibling herself. Branch says sibling relationships are complicated, but Poppy disagrees since if she had a sister, they would never fight, always have each other's backs, think the same things and be practically twins, etc. So, she wants Branch to reunite with his brothers because she's projecting her own desire for a sibling onto him; Bridget even asks Poppy at the beginning, "Poppy, could we maybe unpack the sister thing ''after'' the vows?" Poppy learns her lesson later about how complicated sibling relationships can be when her long-lost sister Viva, despite being exactly the sort of sibling Poppy fantasized about, tries to prevent her from ever leaving again.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Trolls Band Together / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In the climax, Veneer has a Heel–Face Turn and publicly exposes his and Velvet's schemes. To his surprise, he's still arrested along with his sister, since having a change of heart doesn't change the fact that he still knowingly committed all those crimes. Thankfully, he's willing to acknowledge this point and is still a very good sport about being arrested.

Central Theme

comment
Central Theme: Family. The complications, the difficulties of being in one, but ultimately the best parts of them. The movie easily separates the characters into each family dynamic to show different aspects of it and that while it's not always easy, it's still worth it. There's also an aspect of found family as the movie frequently shows Poppy and Viva being as integral to each other as they are to the brothers with the ones connecting both families being Branch and Poppy who are dating. This even extends to Poppy and Bridget who often regard each other as sisters.

Remember the New Guy?: Apparently Branch has four older brothers that were apart of a famous boy band known as BroZone when he was a baby, despite that Branch was primarily raised by his grandmother before she was eaten. Poppy has an older sister, Viva who was lost in the escape from Bergen Town. Even trolls who might've been around by the time Viva was even an infant and then know as the first born princess, like Branch and his brothers, are surprised to learn of her existence.

"Not So Different" Remark: When attempting to persuade Viva to lift the lockdown and allow Poppy, Branch, and the Brozone trolls to leave, Branch explains to Viva that he used to be just like her, living in a bunker. The bunker did keep him alive, and he didn't even have to wear pants—but it meant he was living without pants (the analogy is that he missed out on daily life due to his paranoia).

Continuity Nod: When BroZone split up, Floyd leaves Branch with their grandmother, explaining how Branch ended up in her care before her death shown in the first film. John Dory explains that he was able to track down Branch after hearing how he and Poppy stopped Queen Barb's "Rock-pocalypse" in the previous film.

Veneer has second thoughts about the plan to drain the talent (and life) out of Floyd, but still won't go against the plan until the end of the movie because he's scared of his sister Velvet, and because he still enjoys all the fame, money, and things he was able to buy. Floyd scoffs that "dying sucks", but he's glad his death will at least serve the cause of Boho-chic home decorations for Veneer.

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist
 Trolls Band Together / int_a3515d6
comment
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Velvet and Veneer contrast both Chef and Barb, the respective Big Bads of the two previous movies. Whereas Chef and Barb were individual villains who sought to conquer a place (Bergen Town for Chef, the non-Rock major Troll Tribes' settlements for Barb) for different reasons, Velvet and Veneer are a Big Bad Duumvirate and Brother–Sister Team of aspiring pop musicians aiming to achieve fame and fortune by abducting and stealing the talent of Floyd to fake their way to the top. In contrast to Chef and Barb, who were in some way connected to royalty (Chef being a servant to Bergen Town's rulers and Barb being the Queen of the Rock Trolls), Velvet and Veneer are a duo of spoiled rich kids from a cushy background whose pampered upbringing made them feel entitled to whatever they wanted despite doing nothing to earn it. They juxtapose Chef's goal to kill and feed the Pop trolls to the Bergens to achieve power by depending on a single troll (though they later manage to imprison all but one member of BroZone) to siphon his talent in order to compensate for their utter lack of natural singing ability, which also contrasts Barb's genuine talent as a rock musician. Additionally, upon getting their comeuppance, Velvet remains irredeamable much like Chef did, while Veneer has a Heel–Face Turn similar to Barb's (though not without accepting a more proper punishment).

Just before the Dance Party Ending, Branch introduces his brothers and Poppy to some "old buddies" that he invited to perform with them. It turns out to be another troll boy band, all voiced by Timberlake's fellow *NSYNC members, officially reuniting the real-life band for the first time since their separation.

Later on, Velvet and Veneer even tell Floyd and the rest of Brozone that they should be thankful that Velvet and Veneer want to steal their talent, because at least then their talents "won't go to waste".

Two Scenes, One Dialogue: Or in this case, Three Scenes, One Dialogue. While Poppy and Viva are getting to bond as sisters for the first time, Clay is also shown catching up with his brothers about how he and Viva created the carnival hideout. Meanwhile, back in Trolls Village, King Peppy is relaying his side of the story of how Viva and the others were separated to his therapist (Mr. Dinkles.) Clay tells them that they need to get Poppy and go before Viva finds out, right before Viva is shown telling Poppy that she isn't going to let her leave.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The fact that Velvet and Veneer kidnapped Floyd, out of everyone in BroZone, is what brings our heroes into conflict with them to begin with, because Branch initially refused to come along on John Dory's rescue mission, and only gave in because it was Floyd specifically that was kidnapped.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Poppy wants Branch and his brothers to get along again because Poppy has always wanted a sibling, fantasizing about a sister who's just like her and has all the same interests. When Viva turns out to be Poppy's long-lost sister, she's exactly the kind of sibling Poppy always wanted, with similar personalities, hobbies, and interests, except for the small detail that Viva doesn't want Poppy to ever leave. Tiny Diamond spends the movie wanting to be treated like an adult instead of a child. But late in the movie, as Branch, Poppy, and Tiny Diamond are scaling walls, Tiny Diamond complains that he's tired, his feet hurt, and he wants to be carried, but Poppy responds that he has to walk on his own and be a big boy now (thus demonstrating to him that being a grown-up involves responsibilities).

Medium-Shift Gag: At the tour bus, when Tiny Diamond presses the Hustle button, the bus warps into light speed, causing Tiny and the other passengers to be depicted in trippy 2D animation. During the "Brozone's Back" impromptu performance by John Dory, Bruce, and Branch, when Branch invites Poppy to dance along with them onstage and the song transitions to Stayin' Alive, the screen briefly shifts to being made entirely of dots, like the surface of a disco ball.

Gilded Cage: The Putt-Putt Trolls' hideout used to be an abandoned Bergen minature golf course, which Viva and Clay converted into a bright, fun carnival converted filled with rides and treats, and Viva seems very welcoming to any trolls that pass by, especially when one turns out to be her long-lost sister, Poppy. The moment that Poppy and the brothers try to leave, Viva suddenly slams the front gates shut and refuses to let them go because of her fear of what's outside, forcing Clay to let them out instead.

Take That!: When he learns what Velvet and Veneer are doing - magically stealing Floyd's talent for themselves and slowly draining the life out of him - a horrified John Dory remarks that it's even more evil than lip-syncing. Floyd begs Velvet and Veneer to stop using his talent, he claims he only barely has enough left to do "a desperate Christmas album" or a one-off performance of the National Anthem.

Demoted to Extra: Other than Poppy, Branch and Tiny Diamond, most of the supporting cast from the first two films, particularly the Snack Pack, only appear at the wedding near the beginning of the film, and don't go along on the main adventure, nor do they return for the Dance Party Ending. Biggie in particular only has a single line that is difficult to hear while Mr. Dinkles appears without him in two scenes.

Forgotten Fallen Friend: Subverted. Branch's brothers leave him with their grandmother when they break up in the opening flashback, with this being set a few years before she was eaten by the Bergens before the events of the first film. When Branch reunites with his brothers as an adult, none of them are ever shown questioning their grandmother's whereabouts and are not concerned at all about her absence. Branch later mentions during an argument that she was eaten, but the brothers only seem mildly surprised.

It's All About Me: Velvet and Veneer both think the world revolves around them, though Velvet is much more selfish than her brother. After Veneer says his sister's his biggest inspiration, Velvet says her biggest inspiration is "also me", she treats Crimp like a doormat and then accuses Crimp of draining the life from her, she reacts to Floyd's demand to leave his brothers alone by saying she's "tired of all this drama", and in a flashback to when she and her brother were children, their parents ask Velvet how her day was, and Velvet responds by shouting "Stop attacking me!" and banging the table.

Perfectly Cromulent Word: As Viva is introducing herself to the trolls, she says it's "fantastamazing" to meet all of them, and then explains that "fantastamazing" is a word she made up by combining "fantastic" and "amazing". She used to say "amastic", but that didn't sound as good. Poppy tries this as well and comes up with "fantastamawesome", which Viva says is different but works too, congratulating Poppy for making it her own.

They co-own and operate a business and clearly love each other, and Brandy has no problem with Bruce temporarily leaving her in charge of the children so he can help save Floyd because "You'd never forgive yourself if you didn't help save your brother!" Besides, Bruce can return the favor next month by covering for her while she's on a girls' yoga retreat.

History Repeats: Just like in the first film, King Gristle Jr. and Bridget's romance becomes more important to the plot than it first seems. In the first film, Gristle and Bridget finding happiness with each other convinces the Bergens that they don't need to eat trolls to be happy. In this film, Gristle and Bridget being romantic and kind convinces Viva that the Bergens really have changed their ways and there's no longer a reason to be afraid, which inspires Viva to go to Mount Rageous after all to help her sister Poppy.

Literal-Minded: After John Dory reveals himself to be Branch's brother, Poppy asks Branch why he never told her he had brothers. Branch says that John Dory is his "former brother". Branch means that he no longer considers John Dory his brother after he walked out on him, but Poppy thinks Branch literally means he and John Dory are no longer related, so she shouts, "That's not how DNA works!" Late in the movie, as Poppy and Branch are using the "Hustle Dimension" to get closer to Velvet and Veneer, they ask the Hustle man to drop them off near Velvet and Veneer. He agrees, but then literally drops them so they're free-falling and have to be caught by Gristle and Bridget, with Branch shouting, "Not literally!"

Disaster Dominoes
 Trolls Band Together / int_e4ba33fc
comment
Disaster Dominoes: The performance in the prologue is a disaster because John Dory goes off-script so he can attempt a "stacking" maneuver with his brothers, which throws off their harmony, and then Baby Branch accidentally steps on Clay's face which exacerbates the stack's collapse, and when Floyd falls off the stage he accidentally grabs a vine and gets John Dory tangled in it, then JD gets Spruce tangled in it, then Spruce gets Clay tangled in it. Only Baby Branch is spared being tangled in vines, because coincidentally he's not standing in anyone's paths.

Freudian Slip: When ushering Poppy out the door to Gristle and Bridget's wedding, Branch excitedly says "Let's go get married!", inadvertently revealing his secret intentions to propose to her. When Poppy questions this, he hurriedly backpedals and clarifies that he meant "Let's go get Bridget and Gristle married."

Ironic Juxtaposition
 Trolls Band Together / int_f09e6c1c
comment
Ironic Juxtaposition: Veneer and Velvet's relationship is this to the Trolls. While the Trolls help their siblings with love and care despite their previous separations to lift one another up in the end, Veneer gets metaphorically and literally dragged down by his sister who makes him overdependent on her, even if her influence is terrible on him, which got him arrested with Velvet in the end despite atoning.

Bad "Bad Acting": When the Mount Rageous interviewer asks Velvet and Veneer what their secret to being an overnight sensation is, Veneer panics and says, "What secret? Who says we have a secret?" while hyperventilating and gesticulating wildly.

Evil Plan: Velvet and Veneer are planning to win an award called the "Lifer Award", which celebrates a lifetime of achievements. This would be a mundane plan, except that since Velvet and Veneer plan to do this by kidnapping trolls and draining the talent (and life) out of them.

comment
Reverse Psychology: When John Dory and Bruce are about to do a practice song to prove that Bruce was in a band, Branch at first refuses to participate. Poppy tells him that he's probably right that he can't do it; singing with his brothers after all these years would probably overwhelm him with emotions too powerful to handle, so Branch shouldn't do it. Branch scoffs, "I think I can handle singing a song" and agrees to perform.

Darkest Hour
 Trolls Band Together / int_f91d1d4f
comment
There is no Darkest Hour moment where the trolls lose their happiness and turn grey. A similar effect is employed when Floyd is being drained of his talent, as his colours are shown gradually fading until he eventually turns completely white during his Disney Death, though he soon recovers. This would have changed the Darkest Hour moment into You Are Too Late.

Distressed Dude: Floyd was captured by Velvet and Veener, and spends most of the movie as their prisoner, being slowly drained of both his talent and his life. After Poppy and Branch split off from the rest of Branch's brothers, they end up being captured by the spoiled siblings in what is implied to be them just charging right into Mount Rageous.

The Dog Bites Back: In the climax, Crimp switches off Velvet and Veener's microphones, allowing Branch and his brothers to perform the perfect harmony needed to shatter the diamonds keeping most of them imprisoned. She also quickly performs a citizen's arrest on them when Veneer confesses their crimes, likely as payback for her mistreatment by them.

Department of Redundancy Department: Many of Brozone's songs have similar titles; in the opening sequence, John Dory wants to open with "Girl Baby Baby" and then close with "Baby Baby Girl", but then changes his mind and decides to open with "Baby Baby Girl" and then close with "Baby Baby Girl Woman". Later in the film, when Poppy is asking John Dory who wrote each of Brozone's songs, one song she brings up is "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".
