STX Films have released the very first, very musical trailer for their upcoming animated film UglyDolls.
Directed by Shrek 2 and Gnomeo & Juliet's Kelly Asbury, UglyDolls adapts the popular plushie dolls of the same name into an upbeat musical which stars: Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, Blake Shelton, Janelle Monae, and Pitbull, as well as Wanda Sykes, Emma Roberts, Gabriel Iglesias, Wang Leehom.
Clarkson and Pitbull's incredible vocals absolutely steal the show in this first trailer, singing one of the film's optimistic original songs. At the very end of the trailer, after all the musical goodness, we do get a glimpse at the titular dolls venturing from UglyVille to the Institute of Perfection which the film's synopsis teased - you can read that below the trailer.
Check out the brand new trailer below:
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.
What do you think of the new trailer? Are you looking forward to UglyDolls?
UglyDolls is set to arrive in theatres on May 10th, 2019.
