Justin Timberlake: Reinventing Himself Through Animation

Justin Timberlake, a pop superstar with a successful acting career already under his belt, took on the role of Branch, the cynical and initially pessimistic counterpart to Poppy. Timberlake's involvement brought a considerable boost to the film's marketing and appeal, attracting a wider audience. However, his contribution extended beyond star power. His performance brought a surprising vulnerability and charm to Branch, making the character relatable and endearing. The film allowed Timberlake to demonstrate a range beyond his usual persona, showcasing his comedic timing and vocal talent. "It was a challenge, stepping into the world of animation," Timberlake stated in a press junket. "But it was also incredibly rewarding to create a character with such depth." This venture demonstrated his versatility as a performer and reinforced his position as a multi-talented entertainer.
