The Art of Trolls World Tour is a 40-page book supplied only in the Target version of the Dance Party Edition home video release of Trolls World Tour. Currently the full version of the book is extremely difficult to come by as the book was never released, as a result only the 40 page version can be acquired.
It is a follow-up to The Art of DreamWorks Trolls, and its theme is about the production and development of Trolls World Tour. This book was followed in the series by The Art of DreamWorks Trolls Band Together.
About[]
The 40-page book was sold only with the special Target version of the DVD
The book contains information about how DreamWorks Animation developed the Trolls World Tour movie.
Due to the fact that the book contains information not disclosed in the movie, it provides insight on many unspoken events from the movie. It is also considered an official storyline source or "canon".

The book reflects some of the issues with the movie itself. Some finer details like named Trolls are missing, simply because when the book was put together there were incomplete elements. Other sources, such as Shreeya Shetye's ArtStation gallery, show pages not included in the Target version.
The full version has listed characters who weren't even included in movie promotions and additional media, such as the name of Amp along with the bios of her, Sid Fret and Carol. The book also lists a character known as "Coral Blush" in other merchandise as "Tadd", providing a more official source for the name, since merchandise often only carries some early promotion and movie design information that later will be corrected. One issue with the book, however, occurred similarly with The Art of DreamWorks Trolls, in which which only certain elements of the final version of the movie are listed, i.e. many of the earlier storyline developments such as plot changes never made it into the book. These plot changes have instead been revealed elsewhere.
Currently, the full version is on sale. Copies that can be bought as of April 2023 are found on sites such as e-Bay, etsy and Amazon, and were gifted to individuals who took part in movie-related interviews like stars of the film or to employees working on the film, making copies few and rare for the time being. In 2021, it was witnessed that typically a copy of the book would be list for $200-$400 starting price; The Art of DreamWorks Trolls in comparison was sold at the time brand new for typically just over $20.
