Hugs are Dangerous?! is the 3rd short in Ask Poppy. It was uploaded to the official DreamWorksTV YouTube channel on July 28, 2018.
Synopsis[]
Smidge got her hair charged up with static electricity from cleaning balloons, and hugging any Troll would electrocute them, so she's encouraged to have a group hug and share the shock.
Plot[]
Poppy begins that sometimes she has to as Queen get her friends out of "shocking" situations.
At Smidge's home, she has a problem - no one will huge her in her current state. Though the situation seems funny, Smidge has too much static electricity in her hair. While it turns out she hung up a dirty balloon and cleaned it with her hair, but when she turned around a series of balloons were all hung up in the same dirty state, she claims she has no idea how it happened. Poppy goes to hug Smidge and is sent flying by the shock out of Smidge's pod.
Poppy tries to wear an outfit made of entirely rubber, but the electricity disintegrates the outfit and Poppy is sent flying due to shock again. Next they try to hug each other without getting close, but this is not satisfying to Smidge. At that moment, Hug Time begins and DJ Suki tries to hug Smidge. Smidge tries to dodge everyone during Hug Time, but is soon surrounded by Trolls wanting to give her a hug.
She tells them to back off as she can't hug any one of them. Poppy realises thats the solution - they all must hug her at once. As they all hug her, the static build up is released all at once and discharged. They hold the hug until later that evening.
