‐ 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!

[ crowd cheers ]

WATCH: 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...

[ clears throat ]

don't hug.

[ gasping ]

‐ 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...

[ screams ]

[ sighs ]

‐ Oh! Ha‐ha! We have those.

‐ Congratulations!

It's a baby girl.

[ gasp ]

‐ 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!

[ Poppy gasps ]

‐ 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!

[ classical music ]

‐ 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...

MINUET: 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!

[ screaming and cheering ]

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!

[ gasps ]

‐ 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!

MINUET: Thank you! Well done! DANTE: 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!

‐ 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?

‐ Wait, are you saying our hugs are inadequate?

‐ Well, I mean...

‐ Poppy?

[ sighs ]

‐ I see. Well, now that I know the truth...

I feel so relieved!

[ sighs ]

‐ 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!

awful?

I was going for my daily 4:00 a. m. swim

at Hidingplace Hot Springs,

Flashback Branch is right.

It's the most refreshing hour of the day, Poppy!

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!

did you try talking to the Techno Trolls about it?
