Fans of the upcoming The Barbarian and the Troll can get their first look at the live-action puppet comedy's central villain.
An exclusive clip introduces viewers to a skeleton character who is tracking Brendar the Barbarian. He refers to himself as the "General of the Undead Army" before being interrupted by small forest dwellers. When the villain tells them that he is on a "revenge quest," they leap into action, requesting to tag along.
While the volunteers are eager to help out, our villain reminds them that his quest will be filled with "mayhem and gratuitous violence." However, this doesn't deter them, since only they know how to find Brendar. After some blackmail, they recruit the rest of their friends to tag along on this revenge quest.
In the premiere of The Barbarian and the Troll, Evan the troll decides to burn his bridge and venture out into the world of Gothmoria for the first time to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a singer. He soon meets Brendar, who had been expelled from the Royal Order of Warrior Princesses and is now known as a “feared and revered” barbarian. After Evan convinces Brendar to bring him on her quest to vanquish the evil demon, they cross treacherous terrain to confront bizarre and magical creatures and encounter an eclectic puppet cast of wacky characters.
