I received a copy of the featured movie to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
As a 90’s kid, I am very, very familiar with boy bands. Along with the Spice Girls, they made up almost the entirety of my CD collection throughout elementary school. So when I found out the newest installment in the Trolls franchise, Trolls: Band Together, would be inspired by the bands that made up my childhood? I was IN.
About the movie:
Get ready for an all-star family reunion like no other in the latest chapter of DreamWorks Animation’s blockbuster musical franchise, now with a Sing-Along edition! As Poppy (Anna Kendrick) grows closer to her now boyfriend Branch (Justin Timberlake), she discovers his secret past as a member of her favorite boyband, BroZone, with his four estranged brothers. When Branch’s bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious popstars, Branch and Poppy embark on an action-packed journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd. Along the way Poppy uncovers a family secret of her own, a long-lost sister named Viva (Camila Cabello). TROLLS BAND TOGETHER features the franchise’s signature psychedelic joy-bomb of new and classic pop hits that will have you singing and dancing along over and over again!
Over the holidays, Zac {9} and I went to see it together and we both loved it! In fact, we both ranked it as our favorite Trolls movie to date.
Even without the nostalgia that I felt, Zac was a huge fan of the band. The music- like in all Trolls movies- was so much fun, and the characters were a lot of fun including all the new siblings! There are even two entirely new types of character that were a fun expansion on the Trolls universe- and which made us wonder how many others are out there for future movies!
Trolls: Band Together is available on Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD as of this week so no matter how you prefer to watch movies, you’ll be able to get it! There are so many fun special features too, including a Sing-Along Edition- which we will be putting to good use!
