Trollstopians, I have good news!

At long last,

all our Hugwatches

have been synchronized

to the local Hug Time zone.

- Snuggle Standard Time!

- Aww

- Now that's just cute!

- Now, if you'd all just form an orderly line,

you can pick up your watches

and get ready

for our first Official Hug Time!

- Which is in 12 seconds

- 12 seconds?

Forget the orderly line!

Form a chaotic mob!

It's Hug Time, y'all!

Yee-haw! Yoo-hoo!

Hug Time, baby!

- Hmm!

- Uh, Poppy?

Something's wrong

with the Classical Trolls!

No hugs? Uh, we better

go see what's wrong.

- Can we keep hugging?

- Of course!

Hmm!

Uh, hey, Dante!

Why aren't you hugging?

Is everything okay?

Perfectly fine!

Classical trolls simply

Don't hug.

Um, let's go talk in private.

Dante, if you don't hug,

how do Classical Trolls

show love and affection?

We find a dignified bow

sufficient. Hm!

Oh, like at the end of a play!

Heh!

A long, formal,

emotionally guarded play.

Precisely!

But what about those special times

when you're bursting with emotion

and you just have to

Oh! Ha-ha!

We have those.

Congratulations!

It's a baby girl.

But we certainly

don't want to be left out

of a Trollstopian custom!

Very well, Poppy.

May I have a hug?

Oh!

I

I found that

uninspiring!

What? That can't be a reaction

to your first hug!

Here! Let me try again. Huh?

- Mundane.

- What? Huh?

- Humdrum.

- Ugh! Hmm!

Bland!

- Hmm! Huh?

- Lackluster!

Okay. Don't worry.

We're gonna go up

to Classical Crest

and I am not leaving until you

understand the magic of hugs!

Huh!

- Oh! Pedestrian!

- Ooh!

Ah!

To appreciate hugs, I think all

you need is a little practice.

Let's start nice and slow, by hugging this!

Who wants to try?

Oh, oh!

Minuet Sonata. I'm a fast study.

They say it takes 10,000 hours

to master a craft.

I learned the violin in four.

Well! You're a real go-getter,

aren't you?

In what language would you like

me to answer that? I speak seven

teen

thousand!

Actually, no, I got carried away there.

It's 17.

Alright! We might have

ourselves a winner here, Trolls!

- Now, arms up!

- Like this?

- No, that's too high.

- Is this right?

- Okay, now they're too low.

- Okay, hang on.

Raise your right arm.

Raise your right arm.

Raise your right arm.

You right arm,

not your leg. Uh

Is it right?

No, no, it's not.

Maybe it would help you guys

to see a few more examples

of the real thing.

Surprise hug party!

Now you try! Just do what

comes naturally to you.

What comes naturally?

Well, I suppose we could keep

our backs straight, like so.

- That's it!

- Yes! Yes!

And. and maybe,

if we extend our arms like this!

That does seem promising!

- Eh!

- Then, one arm in.

- Wait.

- And perhaps if we lean into the hug

Uh, guys?

We're doing it! We're hugging!

- Thank you! Well done!

- Oh my! Good show!

Okay, let's try again!

Guys, wha-what's wrong?

Oh, let's face it Poppy!

We will never hug successfully!

We're inadequate.

It seems Hug Time

is just going to be an aspect

of Trollstopia

that we won't be a part of.

No! Don't quit now! Trust

me, when you finally get it,

a hug will make you feel better

than you've ever felt before!

Like, like

Can you give me a high C,

Dante?

That I can do!

Bring it in ♪

I know that hugging's

kinda new to you ♪

Listen ♪

When you're feelin'

Something good ♪

Wanna share it ♪

With the neighborhood ♪

Yeah, you wanna ♪

Spread the love ♪

Just do it with a hug!

Do it with a hug! ♪

If you're low, feeling down

I can bring you around ♪

With some love and energy ♪

So, bring it in ♪

I know that hugging's

kinda new to you ♪

Just, bring it in ♪

I'm feeling the love

I know you feel it too ♪

So bring it in! ♪

That was

marvelous!

Thank you, Poppy! Thank you

for opening our eyes to hugs!

Let us not delay,

Classical Trolls!

Perhaps we can sneak in a few

more before Hug Time is over!

- Are they gone?

- They're gone!

What in the hair was that?

I think they were hugs,

but they felt so wrong!

- So lifeless.

- So limp!

Limp? Mine was so tight, I've

lost all the feeling in my arms!

I know!

But thank you for not telling

them that their hugs

Were painful? Uncomfortable?

Third adjective?

I was gonna say "need

improvement," but don't worry,

the Classical Trolls

will get better with practice!

They have to. Right?

- Hug Time!

- Oh, no.

Ugh.

It feels

nice? Oh!

Hug Time!

Oh! This is one

of those long ones, huh?

Hmm!

- Hug Time!

- Ah!

They are not getting better!

It's true! Look what the

hugs did to Mr. Dinkles!

It'll be okay, guys. It's

only one awkward hug an hour!

What was that?

Surprise Hug Party!

Surprise Hug Party?

Now that we've mastered

the Art of the Hug,

we thought

we'd make up for lost time!

Heh-heh! Great!

Hug! Hug! Hug! Hug!

It's been an honor serving

with you.

Oh, my guh!

Augh! Tell my story!

- Hug!

- Hug!

- To the high ground, Mr. Dinkles!

- Hug Time!

Oh!

It's the Hugpocalypse! Stop!

Stop?

We haven't been totally

upfront with you, Trolls.

The thing is your hugs are

Painful? Uncomfortable?

Third adjective?

Wait, are you saying our hugs

are inadequate?

- Well, I mean

- Poppy?

I see. Well, now that

I know the truth

I feel so relieved!

Okay,

now I'm the one that's confused.

Poppy, we weren't

enjoying the hugs either!

We were just doing it

because it meant so much to you.

But why?

Guys, we should be free

to be honest with each other.

Even if it's hard.

Which I realize

now I haven't been doing either,

so I should probably check myself

and just say I'm sorry. Sorry.

I just wanted you to know

what it's like to share

genuine Troll love

and affection!

Well, we do, Poppy!

- We experience it whenever we do this

- Hmm!

Hmm!

So, from now on,

for anyone that wants to,

we still have Hug Time.

Hmm!

But for anyone that would like to

try something a little different,

there's also Bow Time!

Hmm.

- Hmm.

- Whoa! Oh-oh-oh!

Hmm!

- This is fantastic!

- A whole new way to show our love!

Thank you, Poppy.

Sharing our tradition with all of you

has made bowing feel even more sublime!

Thanks, Dante!

Now, I'm gonna sneak a few more

before Bow Time is over!

Should we tell the other

Trolls their bows are just

awful?

Ta-Da!

Huh, I guess I can't do that.

- Poppy!

- Branch?

Things have gotten way out of hand, Poppy!

We need to talk right now.

Of course, Branch,

you can always talk to me.

But you are covered head to toe

in glitter, so first

Okay. I'm listening.

It all started four days ago.

I was going

for my daily 4:00 a. m. swim

at Hidingplace Hot Springs,

but when I got there, I found

the Techno Trolls having a rave.

At 4:00 in the morning? Why?

It's the most refreshing hour

of the day, Poppy!

Flashback Branch is right.

It's the most refreshing hour

of the day, Poppy!

And without my morning swim,

my entire day gets thrown-off

in a million horrifying ways!

I get tired.

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

I put on mismatched socks!

I don't even wear socks!

And I was so out of it

at the Flavorberry patch

that I wandered straight

into a pit of Quickglitter!

I don't even eat Flavorberries!

I almost drowned. In glitter!

I feel as though I must ask,

did you try talking

to the Techno Trolls about it?

Eh, you know

I'm not much of a talker,

I'm more of a lock-myself

in-an-underground-fortress-and-groan

er.

Well, I think you should build a

friendship with the Techno Trolls!

Maybe as friends,

you could figure this out?

Uh?

I can do this all day.

Okay!

We'll try your thing.

Bottom floor, Techno Lagoon!

So, how is this supposed to?

Oh!

There. That's Synth.

Make friends with him

- and I'm sure he'll help you with the Hot Springs.

- Okay.

Hi! Synth? Can I

can I, can I talk

to you for a second?

Can't do it bro!

The music's calling the shots!

And the music says: We rave.

Woohoo!

Woo-hoo!

Yes! Yes, I see that.

I see that the music says that.

Could the music make

an exception, or?

I like you!

What's your rave name?

- I'm sorry, my what?

- Oh! How 'bout Dubstep?

Absolutely not!

- His name is Dubstep!

- Dubstep!

Yeah!

Note: the male Pop Troll appears

to resent our festivities.

Fascinating!

- Oh! Okay, and you are?

- Yo, Dubstep!

Meet Laguna Tidepool,

our anthropologist.

Oh, a scientist!

Finally someone I can have

a sensible conversation with!

Sorry!

I'm afraid the beat just hooked

me, and it refuses to let go!

Hey!

- Hey!

- Okay, let's cut to the chase.

I'd really like it if I could have

the Hidingplace Hot Springs back

for my 4:00 a. m. morning swims.

Agreed?

Uff! Sorry, bro! That spot is

perfect for our wakeup rave!

It makes every day so

Yes, I know! Without it,

my life is a disaster. Uh!

Branch, remember what we

talked about. Be their friend!

Woo-yeah, alright!

Uh! Tell you what, Synth,

we can discuss this later.

For now,

why don't I spend the day here

doing things you all like to do?

You know, become friends?

Well, Dubstep,

I know we're the Tech-no Trolls.

But to that we say:

Tech-yes!

One thing we Techno Trolls love

to do while making new friends

is whirlpool surfing!

Woohoo!

Surfing?

That's a k*ller water vortex!

I know.

Totally k*ller! Whoo!

Yo! In treadingtation,

you can only float

when you turn down

the volume on the world

and turn up the volume of you!

Can you hear "you," Dubstep?

Bro, I swear, nothing gets your head

right like sea urchin acupuncture!

Just lean into it!

No! No, no!

Oh! Huh?

- Branch? Are you okay?

- I'm done, Poppy.

We will never resolve

the Hot Springs issue

because the Techno Trolls and I

will never be friends!

Ugh!

Okay, then I guess

you'll just have to go on

having the rest of your life thrown

off in a million horrifying ways.

Fine. I'll go back and try harder.

But I'm gonna groan about it!

Synth?

Look, we got off to a rough start,

but I wanna work through it.

What do you say?

Let's

get this friendship started!

Came to win ♪

Win a new friend

Yes, we'll have become

Best of friends! ♪

Wow, this has been great, Synth!

I feel like we made a genuine connection!

Yeah, Dubstep!

We make a great mashup!

In fact, we've been

thinking, we're

- gonna give you those Hot Springs!

- Oh!

Ah!

- Looks like someone's in a good mood!

- You were right, Poppy.

I became Synth's friend,

got my morning swim back

and now everything's

coming up Branch.

- Ow, ow, ow.

- Oh! I see what's going on.

They missed their morning rave

and now their day is thrown-off.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

No, you're wrong!

They can't all be like this.

Laguna! Oh, thank goodness!

You seem okay.

Of course!

Wait.

Hmm! I don't even wear socks.

This is devastating.

Uh! It really is happening!

Your lives are being thrown off in, in

- In a million horrifying ways, yes.

- Ah!

I should really

inform Synth about this.

Do you know the whereabouts

of the Flavorberry patch?

The Flavorberry patch?

Yes.

Synth went there to pick berries.

But that's where the Quickglitter is!

I gotta help him!

Synth? Synth!

Ah!

Oh, no, Synth! Ugh!

- Uh!

- Ugh! I can't reach!

This is it for me, Dubstep.

The final beat-drop!

But if I'm going out,

I'm going out raving!

Yeah!

Uh, uh! Hmm!

- Dubstep! What are you doing?

- I'm helping my friend.

You can float out

of this if you treaditate!

Just turn down the volume on the

world and turn up the volume of you!

Like you taught me!

Can you hear you?

What? Bro!

That's a pretty high stakes move given

that I barely remember saying that!

Look at me!

Now turn up the volume on you.

Turn up the volume on you.

Turn up the volume on you!

Dubstep, you saved me!

Yeah, well, it's the least I could do

for a friend.

- Bro.

- In fact, Synth,

I want the Techno Trolls

to have the Hot Springs.

You guys need it more than I do.

Dubstep, this is so sick of you!

Would you join us for a morning rave?

A rave?

At 4:00 a. m.?

- Uh

- Uh?

- Woohoo!

- Woohoo!

This is ten times as refreshing

as my morning swim!

The water?

The beat? It's

If you're low, feeling down

I can bring you around ♪

So, bring it in ♪

I know that hugging's

kinda new to you ♪

Just bring it in ♪

I'm feeling the love

I know you feel it too ♪
