(Do they all play trolls? I haven’t seen the movie yet - don’t tell me.) Here, we’re also introduced to a central tension of the Trolls soundtrack: Anna Kendrick’s highly controlled Broadway voice doesn’t blend well into a pop song. The film version of “CAN’T STOP THE FEELING” trims a single second from the single’s run time and adds in vocals from pretty much the whole cast. “CAN’T STOP THE FEELING! – Film Version,” Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, Zooey Deschanel, James Corden, Ron Funches, Walt Dohrn, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Kunal Nayyar, Icona Pop, and Gwen Stefani It’s generic late-period Timberlake, inoffensive to a fault, but at least that’s its only major flaw.ġ2. The depths to which this soundtrack descends is such that this song - which you have probably heard innumerable times in bars, Ubers, gyms, weddings, and top 40–themed torture chambers - is the most palatable of the bunch.

“CAN’T STOP THE FEELING! (Original Song From DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls),” Justin Timberlake

To be clear, that spirit is, essentially, “ What?”ġ3.

So in order to make sense of this vast and uncaring universe, and to give you all a taste of what this film contains, we set out to find which song on the Trolls soundtrack captures the movie’s trolling spirit most fully. But as the film finally hits theaters Friday, it seems that this is not the case.

At this point, a vast Illuminati conspiracy, or even a Truman Show version of life, makes more sense. I can’t wait for someone to pull me aside and tell me that Trolls was a prank, that Justin Timberlake isn’t leading a cast of internationally well-known actors in a feature film about troll toys, that that film doesn’t have a soundtrack that features both new music and covers of pop songs, and that one of those songs “Can’t Stop the Feeling! (Original Song From DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls)” debuted at No.
