Trolls has had quite the presence one the first day of this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Both Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick joined director Mike Mitchell, co-director Walt Dohrn, and producer Gina Shay on stage on Thursday to lead a panel, moderated by Chris Hardwick.
Dreamworks pulled out all the stops at the Con by delivering a brand new clip from the upcoming animation, which lands in October.
From the creators of Shrek comes DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls, a smart, funny, and irreverent comedy about the search for happiness, and just how far some will go to get it. This hilarious film transports audiences to a colorful, wondrous world populated by the overly optimistic Trolls, with a constant dance in their step and a song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomachs.
After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy (Kendrick), the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious curmudgeonly Branch (Timberlake) set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Together, this mismatched duo embark on a rescue mission full of adventure and mishaps – trying to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.
Utilizing music to further the film’s narrative, the Trolls soundtrack is produced by Justin Timberlake and features five original songs including songs by Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani in addition to a number of classic hits from the 60’s – 80’s.
Check out the new clip, titled Sound Of Slience, below, and a brand new image from the film featuring both Kendrick and Timberlake’s characters above.
Trolls opens in the UK on October 21st.
