Full Plot
Poppy and Barb are wandering through the woods one day when suddenly, Poppy falls through the ground and discovers a cave. Barb comes down too and they both decide to check it out. There, they discover a whole other world of trolls that call themselves The Dancing Trolls, who dance to other trolls' music. Poppy and Barb go warn the others and Peppy finally decides to pull Poppy aside and tell her about the Dance Trolls. Poppy learns more about The Dancing Trolls and about her mother, who went there years ago and never returned. But Poppy just believes it to be unfair that the Dance Trolls can only dance and not sing.

So the next day, her and Barb sneak out and teach The Dancing Trolls how to sing. The Dance Trolls do unsurprisingly bad the first time and at the exact second Poppy and Barb leave, someone says that singing just isn't in their blood. Then, Poppy and Barb go back and announce that they want to start a band. Barb hands out song lyrics from various genres and tells the Dance Trolls to study these songs until next week. Poppy comes back to the kingdom and Branch finds out what she had been up to and tells her that maybe The Dancing Trolls don't want to try anything new. Poppy simply tells him "Of course they do..." and walks away.

A week passes with a nice little montage of Poppy designing band outfits with Barb and whatnot and then they go back to The Realm of Dance. The Dancing Trolls of course fail again and it's so loud and annoying, it wakes a mysterious new character. In this powerful scene, the character is revealed to be Poppy's mother, Rose. Poppy tells Rose to help her, but she says her singing days are behind her and that she's with the Dance Trolls on this one. Poppy goes home disappointed and leaves Barb there. Some sort of sad song plays and she goes home, extremely frustrated and done with everything.

The Dancing Trolls and Rose then do some thinking and considering and decide that maybe it's time to give something new a try. Which then leads to the final scene, where The Dancing Trolls, Rose, and Barb are on stage, about to play some songs. They say that this show is dedicated to Poppy, who unfortunately isn't here tonight and proceed to playing their first song. Poppy leaves her house and sees a huge crowd gathered around to see her show. She tells them to stop and then tells them she was wrong. That she was forcing them to do something they didn't want to do. Then, her mother walks off the stage and gives her a big hug.

And so, the film ends on a positive note and everyone has one big party. The Dancing Trolls dancing and The Singing Trolls singing. The way it should be.

The End.
