UglyDolls

A Classic UnderDOLL Story.


UglyDolls
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. Moxy 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, 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.

What the Critics say

Bronwyn McKay quote iconUglyDolls has a great message that all kids should see, serves as a colourful distraction to keep kids entertained but may be disappointing to the older half of the audience who have to sit through it, too.

Tomatometer quote iconVery 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.
