In the adorably different town of Uglyville, weirdness is celebrated, strangeness is special and beauty is embraced as more than meets the eye. After traveling to the other side of a mountain, Moxy and her UglyDoll friends discover Perfection -- a town where more conventional dolls receive training before entering the real world to find the love of a child. Soon, the UglyDolls learn what it means to be different -- ultimately realizing that they don't have to be perfect to be amazing.

Critics Consensus

Very young viewers may be entertained by UglyDolls -- if only because they're less likely to recognize the many familiar elements in its affirmative yet formulaic story.

With the school holidays on, this movie is a colourful and entertaining 90 minutes for kids under 10. The songs are easy on the ear and there are a couple of good jokes for the adult minders.

It's all pretty derivative but also pretty wacky, and there's meaning, if you look for it, on a whole lot of levels, from Freudian imagery and hints of religious allegory to the satire of reality TV.

Not so much a movie as a contemplative space wherein the viewer ... explores the shifting dynamic between the eponymous plush toys and the hegemony of play.

It’s incredibly tedious, and slightly obnoxious. Yet the execution of its ideas are so devoid of integrity – right down to the problematic ending – that you forget about it almost instantly.

A movie that can bring real emotion and feeling is a movie that well worth the time and good for your kids and adults. UGLY DOLLS is above average for the sub-genre of kids entertainment and is good for developing minds and hearts.

Ugly Dolls is a feel-good film which the under-10 kids might actually enjoy, unlike a Toy Story, which kids of all ages heartily embraced...

it’s not the best movie ever but it’s a fun watch with a strong cast, catchy songs, and how could you not like Kelly Clarkson as Moxy? To my family’s dismay, Uglydolls is my latest autistic obsession so here’s a fun fact. In the comics/toyline the movie is based off of, Wage is a guy and has a girlfriend named Niimah. They made Wage a girl in this movie and her voice actor, Wanda Sykes, is lesbian. So there is a transgender lesbian baker with a shy artsy girlfriend in the Uglydolls universe and I think that’s awesome. Also Lucky Bat and Ox are totally in love and that’s just my two cents.

I don't care what other people about this film being bad, as a teenager I can say it's a good film👍 Give Uglydolls credit it needs.
