Voice cast

Production

On June 23, 2010, DreamWorks Animation announced plans to create a film based on the toys, under the direction of Tim Hill. The brother–sister writing team of Adam Wilson and Melanie Wilson LaBracio were set to write the screenplay, and Dannie Festa of Festa Entertainment to executive produce.[17] In June 2012, it was reported that Chloë Grace Moretz will voice the female lead, while the role of the male lead, Masklin, had been offered to Jason Schwartzman.[18] In September 2012, 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks Animation announced that the film with the working title Trolls would be released on June 5, 2015, with Anand Tucker set to direct the film, written by Wallace Wollodarsky and Maya Forbes. Moretz and Schwartzman have also been confirmed to lend their voices.[2] Peter Ramsey, the director of Rise of the Guardians, said that Trolls would be partially based on a Terry Pratchett novel.[19]

By April 2013, DreamWorks Animation had acquired the intellectual property for the Trolls franchise from the Dam Family and Dam Things. Having "big plans for the franchise," DreamWorks Animation became the exclusive worldwide licensor of the merchandise rights, except for Scandinavia, where Dam Things remains the licensor.[20] In May 2013, the film was pushed back for a year to November 4, 2016.[21] The same month, DreamWorks Animation announced that Mike Mitchell and Erica Rivinoja has been hired as a director and screenplay writer to "reimagine" the film as a musical comedy, which will present the origin of the Trolls' colorful hair.[1] On June 16, 2014, Anna Kendrick joined the cast to voice Poppy, a princess.[6] On September 15, 2015, Deadline.com reported that Justin Timberlake will voice a character named Branch.[5] The full cast announced their respective roles via announcements on Twitter on January 6, 2016.[22] On January 28, 2016, a teaser trailer was released.[23]

Music

Timberlake serves as an executive producer for the film's music, and released the original song "Can't Stop the Feeling!" on May 6, 2016.[24] The song reached number 1 on over 10 Countries, including the US and UK. He also confirmed that Ariana Grande and Gwen Stefani will contribute to the soundtrack.[25]
