Vibe City is a location within Troll Kingdom that is home to the Funk Trolls.
About[]
Vibe City has a surreal, science fiction-esque landscape with bright neon signs. It is the only moving location in Troll Kingdom, making the Funk Trolls the only nomadic Tribe. The entire city is found within a giant UFO-like vehicle that's clamshell-like with some outside balconies. The outside shell is made from platinum records, arranged like overlapping sequins. Thus, Vibe City is also the most advanced location of Troll Kingdom in terms of technology.
It is located west of Troll Forest and Pop Village, and southwest of Lonesome Flats. In some versions of the map of Troll Kingdom from Trolls World Tour, it's shown to be north of Bergen Town, indicating that it's likely the closest Troll location to the Bergens.
The distance to the city from Lonesome Flats is quite large, with Poppy, Branch and Hickory taking more than an entire night by boat to reach there. The distance may have been greater than the time from said example due to the fact that it moves; Vibe City was likely able to travel to them rather than them having to travel to it. In addition, the ship is often situated high in the clouds, making it unreachable via land travelling.
Appearance[]
Vibe City is the furthest location from Pop Village, as the Funk Trolls wanted to flee as far away from the Pop Trolls in the isolation, out of fear over what they would do to their music. They built their settlement in a desert, near the Lonesome Flats river.
Vibe City appears to be the most technologically advanced location in Troll Kingdom, mainly due to it being in a moving vehicle. Its design mostly consists of neon lights and vinyl record references.
Concept[]
The Funk Trolls were originally meant to live in a "Funky Forest".[1]
Vibe City was inspired by 1970s LP art, with gold, silver and purple coloration put into the background.[2]
Trivia[]
- The city's vehicle structure is likely a reference to the P-Funk Mothership, a vehicle that was used by George Clinton under the alter-ego of "Dr. Funkestein".
