In the adorably different town of Uglyville, weird is celebrated, strange is special and beauty is embraced as more than simply meets the eye. Here, the free-spirited Moxy (Kelly Clarkson) and her UglyDoll friends live every day in a whirlwind of bliss, letting their freak flags fly in a celebration of life and its endless possibilities.

Here, the free-spirited Moxy (Kelly Clarkson) and her UglyDoll friends live every day in a whirlwind of bliss, letting their freak flags fly in a celebration of life and its endless possibilities. The endearingly unique residents of Uglyville occasionally look to the sky above the town, where a new UglyDoll will appear and be embraced by the community. Moxy (Kelly Clarkson) loves her square-peg life in this round-hole town, but her curiosity about all things leads her to wonder if there's something - anything - on the other side of the mountain which nestles Uglyville. Moxy gathers a group of her closest friends and sets off to find what's on the other side. They discover another world - Perfection - a town where more conventional dolls are trained in protocols before they graduate and are sent to the "real" world to find the love of a child. In Perfection, Moxy and her crew are subject to the manipulations of Lou (Nick Jonas), the perfect doll in charge of training recruits. Here, the UglyDolls will confront what it means to be different, struggle with their desire to be loved, and ultimately discover that you don't have to be perfect to be amazing because who you truly are is what matters most.

"UglyDolls is “Trolls Lite,” and the way things work I have no doubt we’ll be seeing a movie in the next few years that’s “UglyDolls Lite.” Yet this is still a winsomely appealing and joke-happy bauble for kiddies." ... Read full review

My expectations for this movie were not high. Despite its limits, Ugly Dolls is an oasis in a vast media desert dried of optimism. A welcome break from a draining milieu, this film celebrates hope, non-conformity, and perseverance,
and yet despite touting non-conformity, conforms as a film to the very cookie-cutter type mold it critiques, which is quite a fatal flaw.… Expand

Remember people, it's aimed atUglyDolls is cute and sweet with lovely rainbow colours, cheerful voice acting, and lots of fun songs. Remember people, it's aimed at kindergarteners, so it's not supposed to be really deep and groundbreaking, and it isn't. It's very simplistic storytelling with tame jokes. But for its target audience of little tykes who want to see cuddly toys having an adventure, it's fine enough, and teaches a nice lesson for them.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie would only be enjoyable to small children or those without the brain capacity to remember what just happened in the movie. Plagued by far too long musical sequences that are redundant and add very little to the movie. In addition it is far too predictable, and the plot of the movie is so thin that if one of the children who actually enjoyed this picture were to walk on it, it would shatter into a million pieces. Put it on for your children if you literally don’t care what they watch. Oh and the worst thing about all of it is that the whole purpose of the movie is to obviously sell toys.… Expand

A child abuser gets to play the "free-spirited" lead character. Please don't tell me there's nothing wrong with that.
