♫ "I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me..." ♫
Arguably, Trolls World Tour was Darker and Edgier than the original was ever trying to be. So obviously, there were going to be some more sad moments.- At the beginning of the film, Branch tries to confess to Poppy his feelings for her but he Cannot Spit It Out. Then she tells him she loves being his friend, which causes his "happy" face to freeze while the word "friend" repeats in his head.
- Poppy and Branch have a minor argument about whether or not they can trust Hickory. Branch displays his concerns about Hickory being a stranger, and Poppy interprets this as Branch not trusting her. She then goes on to ask if Branch believes she’s not a good Queen. While Poppy had twisted Branch’s words, it’s hard not to feel bad for Poppy considering that she already has enough insecurities about her role as Queen challenging her.
- You can also feel some sympathy for Branch. Ever since he found his true colors, he’s been trying very hard to come out of his shell and be a caring friend. So when Poppy accuses Branch of believing that she is not a good Queen, nor does she believe he is acting like a true friend, you can just tell on his face how much that broke his heart.
- The reason for all the different trolls living in isolation? The Pop trolls' ancestors made off with all the musical strings and remixed the other trolls' music to make it their own.
- Going into specifics, during the middle point in the film, Poppy's goals were clear. She would meet up with Barb and reunite all the Trolls together. Then she changed the mission to stop Barb when she realized what was actually happening. But when she meets the Funk Trolls, this is shot down instantly after they tell her that the scrapbook lied, and what really happened was the Pop Trolls stole the strings all along, which caused the other leaders to go their separate ways. They sing an incredibly emotional and powerful song
, part of which is sung by GEORGE CLINTON, and this all causes Poppy, the queen of the Pop Trolls, to feel guilt as she is clearly in shock from being decieved. And this is all from a Trolls movie."Denying our differences is denying the truth of who we are."

- The argument between Poppy and Branch.Poppy: We are really different.
Branch: So different.
Poppy: Completely out of harmony.
Branch: Completely!
Poppy: I don't even know why we're friends!
Branch: Neither do I! So...why do I...care about you more than anyone else in the world? Weird, right?- It's followed by the song "Perfect For Me" (pictured above), with both of them expessing how their feelings for each other cause them nothing but pain and yet they can't see themselves without the other.
- It's extremely difficult not to feel sorry for Hickory when he's revealed to be a Bounty Hunter seeking to bring Poppy in to Barb. The look on his face as it sinks in that his cover has been blown suggests that this wasn't how he wanted things to go.
