Ok 10 might be stretching it

People who are giving 10/10...come on now...this doesn't compare to Inside Out, Zootopia, Toy Story, Lion King etc Was it terrible...no but it was missing something. Yes the message was good but could have been delivered more powerfully and the best part was definitely all the musical scenes. So at least a 6 is fair.

Positive message in the movie

This movie definitely gives a positive message to the kids. Don't let your appearance/looks define who you are. Don't give up your dreams even though you are lack of something. Most important don't judge a book by its cover. This movie is not the best animation but for sure good message through out the movie.

more Uglyville would help

Uglyville is where all the discarded defective dolls are gathered. They live a happy life with limited knowledge of the bigger world. Moxy (Kelly Clarkson) dreams of being a little girl's doll. She and other Uglydolls escape to the Institute of Perfection where dolls try to be more perfect in order to be placed with perfect children.

With Chinese financing and some good voice talent, this movie has a chance at being the next Trolls. It's got the bright colors and pop forgettable songs. The problem seems to be that it doesn't the fun energy. It also doesn't have JT pushing it. The bigger problem is moving away from Uglyville. It seems to be a fascinating place and a much more fun place to explore than the Institute of Perfection. While I appreciate the premise of being individuals and accepting your imperfections, that place drains the fun out of the movie. That's the crux of the problem. It's not much fun.

It's a solid 6.

The message is positive and the songs are catchy. I think some of the ratings given by adults are unfair. I'm not sure where how it's been rated 'severe' for violence. It's a kids cartoon, not The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Any frightening scenes and violence in this film are certainly no worse than some of the scenes in Disney films. My daughter was 4 when she first saw this, she's quite sensitive and didn't show any signs that she was disturbed by what she saw. If your child can handle the gore-fest that is Snow White, then they will be just fine with this film.

Not great, but then again, also not made for me

I don't know how "UglyDolls" made it to theaters instead of just dropping on Netflix, but then again, I'm not in marketing. What unfolds is ninety minutes of bright colors, lots of noise and tired gags. And it's a long ninety minutes.

But the kids in my theater (my 9 year-old included) really liked it. My daughter enjoyed herself, even being moved at one point. And Kelly Clarkson is impressive in her own right.

Best I can offer is actually wait til it's on Netflix, then the ticket price won't sting. But it's harmless.

Trivia
Nick Jonas, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, and Bebe Rexha were all coaches from The Voice (2011).

Goofs
Near the end of All Dolled Up, during the shot where Wage says "We are uglylicious", a really strange error happens in Moxy's model. The layer of pink fur that covers the model is moved too much to the right, making some of the fur clip through her uniform, and creating a weird effect in her right hand that makes it look double. This is specially noticeable in her face, since the holes made for the eyes and the mouth are also incorrectly placed.

Quotes
Lou: [after Lou fails the gauntlet challenge, Lou laughs] Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.
Lydia: You failed?
Tuesday: How could you fail?
Lou: You still don't get it. Of course I failed, I will always fail. I'M A PROTOTYPE!
Mandy: What?
Tuesday: Prototype's like a good thing, right?
Lydia: No, he ain't a real doll girl?
Lou: You thought, I stook around this place, because I cared so about you mindless sycophants?
Tuesday: Sycophants's like a good thing, right?
Kitty: Ugh no, you imbecile!
Tuesday: Is imbecile a good thing?
Babo: My gut says yeah.
Lou: I'm the model, the mould. Sent by the factory, to help guide you through. Sounds amazing, right?
Nolan: Ugh...
Lou: Wrong! Prototypes are not meant for public consumption, I was never allowed to go the big world .
Lou: [pointing at Ox] But you could, how can someone as ugly as you, be accepted and loved? While someone as perfect as I, never could and never will? Let's see how you feel, when you're trapped in this place forever. Just like me.
