Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick will be back to voice the main characters

Branch (Justin Timberlake) and Poppy (Anna Kendrick) are coming back for more trolling fun!

1 Mar – "Trolls" fans, put your dancing shoes back on – the animated musical film is coming back for round two!

"Trolls 2" is happening, DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures have confirmed on social media earlier today.

Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake will return for the sequel, to voice Princess Poppy and Branch, respectively. No word yet on who else in the original cast will be returning to voice the other musically-inclined, colourful Trolls in the upcoming movie.

It is also not yet confirmed whether Timberlake will once again be providing the official soundtrack. But seeing that the singer-actor has a good track record so far, his "Can't Stop the Feeling!" was nominated for Best Original Song at this year's Oscars and he performed the song to open the awards ceremony recently, chances are high that he would once again be providing his vocals for the title track.

Directed by Mike Mitchell and Walt Dohrn, the 3D-animated film based on the Troll dolls created by Thomas Dam made USD339.5 million worldwide against its USD125 million production budget last year

Fans do have quite some time to wait for the follow-up though as "Trolls 2" will only be dancing into cinemas on 10 April 2020.

Afraid of losing the US-Canada trade pact, Mexico alters its laws and removes Chinese parts
Mexico has been taking a bashing lately for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America, and officials here are afraid a re-elected Donald Trump or politically struggling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could try to leave their country out of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. Mexico’s ruling Morena party is so afraid of losing the trade deal that President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday the government has gone on a campaign to get companies to replace Chinese parts with locally made ones. “We have a plan with the aim of substituting these imports that come from China, and producing the majority of them in Mexico, either with Mexican companies or primarily North American companies,” Sheinbaum said.
