> **Archytele Living Vault Canonical Record**: https://www.archytele.com/show/trolls-2016

## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Trolls Village is home to a community of Trolls, led by Princess Poppy, who is described as the happiest Troll ever born. The Trolls' way of life is disrupted when a group known as the Bergens invade their village. In response to this invasion, Princess Poppy and a Troll named Branch embark on a journey to rescue their friends. Branch is characterized as a curmudgeonly outcast, suggesting he may not fit in with the rest of the Trolls. The journey undertaken by Poppy and Branch is marked by adventure and mishaps, as they attempt to work together to achieve their goal. The partnership between Poppy and Branch is described as mismatched, implying that they do not naturally complement each other. The duo's ability to tolerate each other is crucial to their mission's success. The film's narrative explores the dynamics between Poppy and Branch as they navigate their differences and work towards a common objective.
