Queen Poppy and Branch make a surprising discovery — there are other Troll worlds beyond their own, and their distinct differences create big clashes between these various tribes. When a mysterious threat puts all of the Trolls across the land in danger, Poppy, Branch, and their band of friends must embark on an epic quest to create harmony among the feuding Trolls to unite them against certain doom.

It is practically a standalone sequel, the writers plucked this story right out of their, er, minds. That's not to say the plot is bad, it isn't, but it just didn't really hold my attention, the downgraded humour and less catchy music contributes. Character-wise, they give too much time to some.
