The animated movie musical, which follows the adventures of the popular toys, is slated for release Nov. 4, 2016. Mike Mitchell ("Shrek Forever After") will direct. 

"Anna has proven herself to be a brilliant actress with an amazing singing voice," Mitchell told Variety. "She'll inject Poppy with the exact mix of spirit, sass and song that will no doubt give a whole new life to the iconic Troll dolls."
