The Uglydolls make their big screen debut today with the release of the new animated feature film from STX Entertainment, and to mark the occasion Hasbro has unleashed a new wave of tie-in merchandise and were kind enough to send on a box to brighten up the office here at Flickering Myth HQ (thanks, Hasbro!).
Included in this new wave of products are Lotsa Ugly figures, Surprises Disguises and snuggly Sound Plushies, the latter of which include over 30 movie-inspired phrases from the likes of Moxy, Ox, Babo, Lucky Bat, Wage, Wedgehead and Ugly Dog!
These weird and wonderful UglyDolls are available in stores and online now; check out a selection of images here…
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 UglyDolls friends live every day in a whirlwind of bliss, letting their freak flags fly in a celebration of life and its endless possibilities, occasionally looking to the sky, 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 set for release on May 10th, 2019.
