Director: Walt Dohrn
Four films into the Trolls franchise, Walt Dohrn hands the spotlight to Branch's forgotten past, sending the felt-haired hero and Poppy racing to save a long-lost brother from two industry-poisoned pop villains. Trolls Band Together keeps the series' sugar-rush visuals and jukebox soundtrack while widening its cast of voices to include Camila Cabello and Troye Sivan alongside franchise regulars.
What is Trolls Band Together about?
The story kicks off when Floyd, one of Branch's four brothers from a disbanded boy band, is snatched up by a duo of manipulative pop stars who want to harvest his talent for themselves. Branch finally reveals the boy-band history he has kept hidden from Poppy, and the pair set off with a rescue plan that forces Branch to reunite the rest of his musical siblings first. Along the way old grudges between the brothers resurface, testing whether a shattered family act can come back together in time to save Floyd. The rescue mission doubles as a reckoning with fame, loyalty, and the cost of walking away from a spotlight that once defined them.
Cast & crew
Justin Timberlake returns as Branch and Anna Kendrick as Poppy, the central pair carrying the Trolls films since 2016. Camila Cabello, Eric Andre, Andrew Rannells, Daveed Diggs and Troye Sivan voice Branch's brothers, giving the boy-band subplot a genuinely stacked lineup of musical talent, while Amy Schumer rounds out the cast. Walt Dohrn, who has directed or co-directed every entry in the series, keeps the tone light even as the family backstory gets more emotional than earlier installments.
Context & significance
Released in 2023, Trolls Band Together is the fourth theatrical entry in the animated franchise built around a toy-based property, following two earlier feature films and several holiday specials. The film leans harder into pop and boy-band satire than its predecessors, drawing on the real music-industry backgrounds of several cast members for its songs and set pieces. It runs a brisk 92 minutes, keeping pace with the franchise's habit of pairing short runtimes with dense soundtracks aimed at both kids and the parents humming along in the car afterward.
Where & how to watch
Trolls Band Together streams on K-Time with a Persian-dubbed audio track, letting Farsi-speaking families watch the sing-along adventure together without relying on subtitles. The film's page is free to browse, and starting playback only needs a K-Time account login. K-Time's catalog and interface are built around the Persian diaspora, so navigation, search, and title pages read naturally in Farsi from the home screen down to the watch button.
