Trolls World Tour is the second animated film of the Trolls franchise. It comes as the direct successor of the 2016 film, which became a huge hit. The film had a lot of new content and concepts to offer, including new troll tribes, which, unfortunately, was not seen by a comparable audience to its predecessor due to the pandemic.
Below is the list of the main characters – protagonists and antagonists alike – of Trolls World Tour. This list will help to get to know more about the stars who got to voice each character. To learn more about World Tour’s voice characters, keep on scrolling below.
1. Anna Kendrick as Poppy
Anna Kendrick begins this list as the voice actor of Poppy, the protagonist in Trolls World Tour.

Aside from Trolls, she was a part of the cast of some more musicals such as Camp (2003) and Into the Woods (2014). Kendrick’s character was Queen Poppy, the main character in World Tour.

2. Justin Timberlake as Branch
The multi-awarded singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake voiced the deuteragonist, Branch.
