WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the town of Uglyville, populated by disfigured dolls, the free-spirited Moxy (Clarkson) and her friends discover a way to Perfection, a town where more conventional and normal-looking dolls are trained to be the perfect doll for a child in the real world. As they fall afoul of Perfection’s leader Louis (Jonas) when they attempt to become “perfect” dolls themselves, the UglyDolls learn some valuable lessons about staying true to themselves and embracing their weirdness…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The first animated film from STX takes inspiration from the beloved UglyDolls toy line, with a heart-warming family film that spreads good messages as well as heaps of colourful fun.
