POPPY:
Once upon a time...

in a happy forest, in the happiest tree...

lived the happiest creatures the world has ever known.

The Trolls.

They loved nothing more

than to sing, and dance, and hug.

Dance, and hug, and sing, and dance,

and sing, and hug, and dance...

and hug, and dance, and sing, and hug,

and dance, and hug...

(CRYING)

But then one day,

the Trolls were discovered by...

a Bergen!

The Bergens didn't know how to sing...

or dance...

or even hug.

They were the most miserable creatures in all the land.

And once they saw how happy the Trolls were...

they wanted some of that happiness for themselves.

Oh, my God!

Eating a Troll made them feel so happy...

they started a tradition.

Once a year, every year...

the Bergens would gather around the Troll Tree...

to taste happiness...

on a holiday they called...

Trollstice.

Whoo!

Good morning, Daddy!

Daddy, wake up!

Daddy, wake up! Wake up! Wake up, Daddy!

Wake up, Daddy.

Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!

Daddy, wake up!

Gristle! What time is it?

It's Trollstice!

Trollstice! Our one day to be happy.

Yeah!

Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!

Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!

Please give it up for your Keeper of the Trolls...

your Minister of Happiness...

your Royal Chef...

Me.

Ooh!

This is a very special Trollstice...

as there is one amongst us who has never tasted a Troll.

Ooh, me! She is talking about me!

Prince Gristle...

...the time has come.

It's okay, son.

I remember being nervous my first time.

Okay.

That's my boy.

It is my sacred duty...

to initiate you in the ways of true happiness.

I have chosen an extra-special Troll, just for you.

The happiest, the most positive...

sweetest Troll of all.

And because every prince deserves a princess...

I give you the one they call Princess Poppy.

Please make me happy, Princess Poppy.

What are you feeling?

That one's rotten!

It's fake?

Fake? Fake?

They're gone?

Where are they?

Don't worry, sire. We'll find them.

I think I hear something!

Go! Go!

We got Poppy!

Pass her to me! Here comes Poppy!

Here she is!

Ah! There's my princess.

Da-da.

King Peppy, some of the others can't keep up.

No Troll left behind!

Thank you, King Peppy!

- Thank you, King Peppy!

- Thank you!

Thank you, King Peppy.

No Troll left behind!

Daddy, where are they?

Don't just stand there! Make my son happy!

He will be happy!

Where is he?

I don't think King Peppy made it.

When I say no Troll left behind...

I mean, no Troll left behind!

King Peppy, where's Princess Poppy?

Don't worry. She's safe.

No Troll left behind!

Aww!

But we'll be a lot safer

the further we get from Bergen Town.

Go, go! Hurry!

That's right! Take her away!

Get her out of my sight!

She is hereby banished

from Bergen Town forever!

We can all be happy again.

I'll find the Trolls!

And shove them down

your ungrateful throats.

But, Daddy...

I never got to eat a Troll.

What's gonna make me happy now?

Come here, son.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

You will never, ever, ever, ever be happy.

Never?

Ever.

Here! Right here!

This is where we will rebuild our civilization.

It has everything we need.

Fresh air, clean water...

and sweet acoustics.

Ba de ya Say do you remember

Ba de ya Dancing in September

Ba de ya Never was a cloudy day

Twenty years ago today,

King Peppy made us safe...

and now every Troll is free

to be happy and live in perfect...

Harmony

Harmony

Harmony

And that's why we hug every hour.

Yep.

I wish it was every half hour.

So do I.

But that wouldn't leave much time

for singing and dancing, now would it?

Princess Poppy, do the Bergens

still want to eat us?

You bet!

But just because it's the only way

they'll ever be happy.

Oh, no. I do taste delicious.

Isn't there anything else

to make them happy?

Ooh. What about having birthday parties?

Or slumber parties?

Or staring at your parents while they sleep.

But I don't want to be food.

Don't worry. No Troll ever will be.

And that's why we're celebrating

with the biggest party ever.

Everybody's gonna be there.

Everybody?

Everybody.

Everybody, move your hair

and feel united

Ohh!

Everybody, shake your hair

and feel united

Ohh!

Yeah

Everybody's coming to the celebration

I'ma hook you up with the invitation

Let your hair swing and party with me

No bad vibes Just love, you'll see

Do the D-A-N-C-E

One-two-three-four fight

Ignite

And I'm here to help you through it

Come on, Smidge,

Your confidence gives me strength!

Okay, Mr. Dinkles.

Mmm. Something's missing.

That's it!

Ohh! Yeah, ohh!

Yeah!

Unbelievable, guys.

Really, really great. Good job.

I could hear you from a mile away!

Good. I was worried we weren't

projecting enough.

Poppy, if I can hear you,

so can the Bergens.

Oh, boy.

- Here we go again.

- Oh, Branch...

You always ruin everything.

Warning us about the Bergens.

No, I don't.

The Bergens are coming!

The Bergens are coming!

The Bergens are coming!

Come on! We haven't seen

a Bergen in 20 years.

They're not gonna find us.

No, they're not going to find me,

because I'll be in

my highly camouflaged...

heavily fortified,

Bergen-proof survival bunker.

You mean you're not coming

to the party tonight?

But it's going to be the biggest...

The loudest...

The craziest party ever!

Big? Loud?

Crazy?

You're just gonna lead

the Bergens right to us!

Are you sure you wanna invite

this party pooper to poop

on your party?

Yes. I think everyone

deserves to be happy.

I don't do happy.

Branch, I know you have

happiness inside you.

You just need our help to find it.

Celebrate freedom from the Bergens

What do you say, Branch?

Oh, my God.

I wouldn't be caught dead at your party, but you will be.

Caught and dead.

Whoa, whoa.

Easy, Branch. Easy.

Thank you for providing safe passage, brother.

Namaste.

Okay, first of all, mate, thanks for sharing

your unique perspective on things.

Again.

But, just for now, why don't you try on

some positivity, eh?

A little positivity might go with that vest.

Okay, fine.

I'm positive you all are going to get eaten.

- Hug time!

- It is hug time.

Hug time!

Oh, that feels good.

Our hearts are synchronizing!
