The star-studded cast includes award-winning performers like Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, and Kelly Clarkson, who lend their voices to the animated musical.

This time, an unfamiliar tribe of rock and roll Trolls takes the place of the Bergens as the main movie villains, putting the fate of the six lands of music in jeopardy. However, Queen Poppy leads the other lands of music to fight back and regain harmony.

The first Trolls movie had an impressive cast, including Zooey Deschanel, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and John Cleese, and the same goes for the sequel. From rock stars to pop boy-band superstars to an actress who has become known almost as much for her singing voice as her Oscar-nominated acting skills, the actors behind the voices of the Trolls come from very diverse backgrounds, something that emphasizes the fresh bloom of different kinds of Trolls in their ever-growing universe.
