We'll be getting our first trailer for UglyDolls on Thursday but to hold us over until then, the animated musical's official Twitter account recently put out the film's very first poster which gives us an inkling of what to expect.
In the poster, the gang of felt plushies have ventured from their hometown of Uglyville to its polar opposite: "The Institute of Perfection." The film's recently revealed synopsis goes further into the character's journey, both the pyshical one and the emotional one - you can read that just below the afformentioned tweet:
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.
The main cast's names also adorn the poster - and given the talent involved, the film is set to be one helluva musical. The voice cast include a plethora of talented singers; Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas (Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle), Janelle Monáe, Blake Shelton, and the rapper: Pitbull.
What do you think of the poster, synopsis, and cast? Are you looking forward to Thursday's trailer?
UglyDolls is set to hit theatres on May 10th, 2019.
