“Trolls Holiday in Harmony” airs along with classic holiday animated special “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and new animated special “5 More Sleeps ‘Til Christmas” on Friday, November 26. Those specials kick off NBC’s holiday slate that also includes the 89th annual “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” on December 1, Kelly Clarkson’s Christmas special “When Christmas Comes Around” on December 1, “Annie Live!” on December 2, the annual broadcast of “It’s a Wonderful Life” on December 4, “Michael Buble’s Christmas In the City” on December 6, “A Very Chrisley Christmas” on December 15, “L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth” on December 16, “Sing” on December 17, “Illumination Presents: Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch” on December 22, and Christmas Eve mass on December 24.
The “Trolls” movie burst on the scene in 2016 and became an instant children’s classic. It was followed by “Trolls World Tour” in 2020, and a third installment is slated for a 2023 release.
In a 2016 interview with Collider, Timberlake said he wanted to do “Trolls’ because he’s such a fan of classic musicals but they wanted to make their musical more modern.
“I’m a big fan of musicals. The first ones that come to mind are ‘The Music Man’ or ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’ where you’re getting a piece from the character that’s moving the story along and you’re getting a piece from the story that’s moving the story along, and the music services that. I feel like it’s a lot more challenging to do the type of musicals where the music starts and time stops. Then, it gets to the end of the music and everyone goes back to what they were doing. We wanted to definitely modernize our movie and make everything service the movie and move it along.
“Trolls Holiday in Harmony” premieres Friday, November 26 at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on NBC.
