Branch & Poppy's Bunker Makeover is the 6th short in Trolls Scrapbook Stories. It was uploaded to the official Peacock Kids YouTube channel on October 2, 2021.
Synopsis[]
Poppy uses Branch's fear bunker to convince Val that her village is cool. It's a great idea and nothing could go wrong... Right?
Plot[]
Poppy lists all the things in Troll Village that she believes makes it rock, such as Piñatas and all-you-can-eat cupcakes, stating who would in their right mind say it doesn't rock; this of course turns out to be Val Thundershock. Pondering how to find a way to appeal to Rock Trolls, she realizes Branch's Fear Bunker is the answer; it's underground, it's dark, it's drippy. Val gives her approval. The next morning Branch comes to Poppy with a grumpy mood; his Bunker is now filled with Hard Rock Trolls. Poppy realizes that Val must have told every other Rock Troll about Branch's bunker. Upon returning to the Bunker, there were Trolls everywhere, and Branch liked his privacy. Afraid to hurt their feelings, Poppy tries to be sneaky about asking them to leave, but offering to take the party to her place, play tag with everyone else being it except her and the idea of a volcano and rain producing cookies doesn't get the Rock Trolls to move. Poppy tells Branch that the only obvious solution is what he wouldn't like; to "de-rock" the Bunker, in other words, it was time to Poppy-fy his Bunker. While this works, it creates a new problem; Rock Trolls may not like the new look, but Pop Trolls do.

Trivia[]
- The Scrapbook stories are a supportive series for Trolls: TrollsTopia, and in the series Branch's colors are green (body) and blue (hair). In this story, however, Branch is completely blue like in Hasbro and other company merchandise. This is not uncommon; often different sources feature Branch in different colors.
- This episode is likely a reference to Trolls World Tour; Branch was used as part influence for Rock Trolls, hence why they live underground and the creators had pondered if he was indeed a Rock Troll without knowing it as a result.
