The trolls are back in town.
Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick navigate a colorful musical landscape in the new trailer for Trolls World Tour, the star-studded sequel to their 2016 animated feature based on the popular line of dolls.
The clip, which premiered Thursday, picks up after the events of the first film, as Poppy (Kendrick) and Branch (Timberlake) discover they’re part of a vast network of tune-loving creatures scattered across six lands devoted to different genres of music, from funk and country to techno, classical, pop, and rock.
Though the prospect of uniting the troll kingdoms through song excites them, a menacing heavy-metal songstress, Queen Barb (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘s Rachel Bloom), seeks to destroy all that doesn’t rock and roll, and the duo sets out to unite their fuzzy-haired companions to defeat their new enemy’s reign of terror.
