Unconventionality rules in UGLYDOLLS, STXfilms' new animated
musical adventure starring the acting and singing voices of Kelly
Clarkson, Nick Jonas, Janelle Monáe, Blake Shelton and Pitbull. The
film is inspired by the unique and beloved global plush toy phenomenon
launched in 2001.
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 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.
Created as a plush toy line by David Horvath and Sun-Min
Kim, the UglyDoll brand quickly gained a cult following around the world
and was named Toy of the Year by the Toy Industry Association in 2006.
Beloved by children, teenagers and adults alike, UglyDoll characters are
distinct for their endearing "Uglyness," in a wonderful "Uglyverse"
where differences are celebrated and embraced.
Also starring in the voice cast of UGLYDOLLS are Wanda Sykes,
Emma Roberts, Gabriel Iglesias, Wang Leehom, Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX and
Lizzo.
STXfilms will release UGLYDOLLS in theaters on May 10, 2019
as the launch vehicle for STX Entertainment's UglyDolls franchise. An
animated series is also underway with a full series order from premium
streaming service Hulu, and Hasbro joined early on as global master toy
licensee.
The original motion picture soundtrack will be released by Atlantic Records.
In Theaters from STXfilms May 10, 2019
