UglyDolls | Ratings & Reviews

"It's not all bad. Choosing from the world of music at least offers up a new, eclectic range of voice-over artists, including Blake Shelton, Ice-T, Lizzo and Charli XCX, while the animation is impressive enough. But for a movie that proudly states "it's the flaws that make us who we are", Ugly Dolls' own shortcomings mean it doesn't quite measure up to some of the other school holiday cinematic options on offer."

"Positive messaging about celebrating our unique imperfections and seeking your own truth has never felt more urgent to children in the age of Instagram. Pity, then, that this toothless and derivative marketing exercise doesn't practise what it preaches."

The TimesThe Times

"This paean to body positivity and living your own truth is more than welcome, but you just wish UglyDolls' message could be more charmingly argued, adroitly assembled and just plain funny."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"The good news of the summer was that Toy Story 4 didn’t suck. The bad news is the arrival of this sugary manic kids’ animation whose sole reason for existence seems to be hardselling the UglyDolls brand of cuddly toys."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"The sincerity with which "UglyDolls" pits unblemished conformity against ungainly soul is touching - and, yes, instructive - in all the right ways."

VarietyVariety

"Every aspect of this computer-animated movie directed by Kelly Asbury seems equally overdetermined and tossed-off, as if it were a caffeinated weekend project for everyone involved."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"For a film about weird, colourful dolls, one hopes for something wackier, funnier, edgier."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"An imbecilic eyesore that could lay claim to being one of the worst movies ever made if it was worth such hyperbole."
