The original uglydolls were a good part of my childhood, my younger brother and I collected the toys and books with them and we bonded a lot over the characters. This movie is an insult to all of that and just took the fattest shit on my childhood when it came out
As a huge Uglydolls fan Me & My Sister collected them all the time it was one of are Childhood staples but until my Sister went into high school the trend started to die out it's one of those trends where as soon as it's targeted audience grows up it dies out

When you compare it to what the ugly dolls looked prior, it's very clear that they had softened up their appearance to make them more "marketable." Moxy is a great example of this as they redesigned her to be way more commercially feminine looking as well as turning her pink, instead of looking like Ox because she was based on the creator's sister. Ox is him as an Uglydoll if I didn't make that clear.
tbh they literally did that to compensate cus they know this shit is bad 💀- The only good celebrity-cast movie is The Lorax but other than that like 🤷🏾♀️ Also I think its worth it to add that the celebrities who did this movie are kinda all dying in terms of like their fame

@@rosykindbunny1313 Probably, though I can’t imagine them unironically calling someone ugly past elementary school. You’re right, though, bullies usually tend to be a little more specific (and especially subtle) with their shit talk and tricks.
I visited the studio that helped make it during production. Based in DFW. Such a creative team of people, so many talented artists. Sucks to see their talent was used like this.
i can agree, the "ugly" dolls have way more character and unique designs while the "perfect" dolls all stick to a similar or even the exact same body type and face.
@@temmie9391 not to vouch for them but perfection means perfect, if you say 3 perfect dolls they will all be the same. That's why it's perfection is not always great And being perfect is kinda ugly as there is no uniqueness(I think that is what the commenter wants to imply).
"they call each other ugly all the time and use it proudly, but when someone who isnt a part of their group and who (i think???) have historically used that word to oppress them use it especially as an insult, then its considered bad" is... is ugly a slur
I think its considered bad because its coming from someone else, like I call myself stupid all the time, but like if someone other than myself called me stupid then id take offense
I feel bad that this is the director Kelly Asbury’s last movie. Given his extensive track record in the animation circle, working on films like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, Nightmare Before Christmas, Toy Story, The Prince of Egypt, Shrek (which he was suppose to direct), Kung Fu Panda, Frozen, and directed both Shrek 2 and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron. He deserved a better outing. (Edit): added in a few more movies he worked on.
He wrote this one article for Cartoon Brew 2 summers ago, that y’all should read, seeing how his last two movies flopped despite throwing his heart and effort hurts. As a filmmaker, this was so honest and insightful: www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/coping-with-a-box-office-bomb-a-commentary-by-kelly-asbury-177167.html
Worst part about this was the fact a genuine fandom came out of the movie. Even worst part is I was part of it for like an entire summer. I have so much merch and fanart from the movie and I spent hours at a time focused on it. I saw it in the theatre like 3 times. I wish I was joking lol
The first time I watched it I thought it was okay then I re-watched and realized that the plot is basically happy group of people get told they're ugly and collapse like WHAT THE HECK
5:48 what if the word “ugly” in this universe is supposed to parallel an offensive slur in our world? Within their own community, it’s commonplace and endearing, but when used by the elitist class, it becomes a coverup for the movie producers to be racist! A very deep, philosophical, and genius move by the director, bravo 10/10
I remember going to the theatre to watch Endgame and seeing "Uglydolls" being advertised on the same day and I was thinking to myself "Who the hell would come here for that movie when they can just watch endgame."
Him calling them ugly hurt them because he was using it as an insult. When the “ugly dolls” call each other and their town ugly, they say it with love. He was calling them ugly to humiliate them.
The original Ugly Doll world and books were so good, wacky, and intriguing. I owned a lot of ugly dolls and read everything I could about their weird characters and it’s sad to see that they sold out and let this to happen.
I know this movie doesn't deserve the thought put into making it something substantial instead, but here we go anyway: this would have been a fantastic opportunity to make a commentary on the 'I'm not like the others' effect, where people get so caught up in making themselves as unique or unconventional as possible with the specific goal of feeding into ones own ego. It would have been interesting to see the uglydolls arrive in less of a 'perfect' town with themes of strict conformity and fascist rule and more of an 'idealized' town full of popular trends the uglydolls believe themselves superior to. I'd take a message of "it's totally fine to like a mix of both un/popular things" instead of pitting them as diametrically opposed... but hey, thats not what the machine that spits out money says, so.
I didnt realise how many supressed memories I had of my cousins getting uglydolls in like 2009. My cousins always got them when we went to this small beach town in Michigan.
Honestly, the one thing that makes me upset is that there was a chance to have something at least mildly interesting. It’s near the end when Lou accidentally gets hit over the finish line in the Big Toy Race or whatever it is. That small scene where he whispers “No” as the line glows red after he passes it. Lou reveals that he’s actually a prototype, a reference if you will, for all other dolls and that he’s not allowed to go to the human world. He’s stuck in the Perfection Academy (idk what it’s called), watching countless dolls cycle come in and out, while he’s stuck there forever basically. Then Lou goes mad and tries destroying the portal thing so nobody can leave again. And honestly???? THAT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL. The concept of being a prototype is so interesting to me. Imagine being stuck in the same place, guiding others on a path you cannot walk, while being constantly left behind. Literally??? He can’t really make friends with anyone because he knows they’re gonna leave him sooner or later, but he’s stuck. Everyone else can escape, see the world, go anywhere else, while he’s stuck to the same role. I feel like that could’ve probably redeemed a lot if they actually explored it a bit more. They could’ve talked him out of it, sympathize with him, let him see the error in his ways… but instead they defeat him like any old supervillain and throw him in the washing machine. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I *WISH* I COULD’VE BEEN ON THE WRITING TEAM?!?! That’s an absolute GOLD MINE of character growth material that children could’ve really learned something from. How the HECK did they pass up such an amazing opportunity?! I refuse to believe any writer in existence wouldn’t have thought “Hey, what if they talk to Lou instead of fighting him?” Because the opportunity is just so obvious.
The “ugly” dolls are prettier versions of the “Fuggler” dolls that used to be sold at Walmart/Target in 2018, look it up, they even had semi realistic teeth. They should’ve made a Fuggler movie and I would’ve watched that
Honestly coming from an old uglydolls fan, I was first introduced to it whenever the movie was first released but I did research and stuff and all that I’m too lazy to type it out so.. I honestly loved this movie and I think it delivers an important message to kids and adults alike.
I've been an actual fan & still is The Uglydolls toys will all ways be Staples of both me & my sister Childhoods until my sister went to high school the toy trend started to die out it's one of those trends where as soon as it's targeted audience grows up it's dies out the movie took the most disrespectful nuke on both of are Childhoods The Fandom isn't toxic fans are exactly pretty kind and talented I was pretty surprised to realize that most of the fan where actually young adults(late teens or early 20s)anything that a Fandom has it certainly is in this one Fanart, Discord Servers, Sub Reddits, Fanmade Characters, Web Comics, Cosplays, DIY's and Crafts, Rule 34(No that is not a joke) Again nothing toxic I love talking to the Fandom It's one of those Fandoms where I like the Fandom but I don't wanna tell people I like usually do to embarrassment
I was always mad that they made the ugly dolls cute therefore defeating the whole purpose of their name. Also the normal dolls look more like boss baby than any actual doll for sale.
The original Uglydoll designs were more ugly, they even had yellow teeth. They were still kinds cute but were mostly shown with blank expressions in the original designs and artwork.
The worst thing about this movie is that it feels like it came from 2002 to cash in on Kelly Clarkson's American Idol win and launch to fame but it was frozen on ice until 2019.
fun fact! i only knew about the movie because one of my friends was a huge fan of the blonde doll, and wrote a fanfiction about it on wattpad that garnered a lot of attention
They should of went harder with the “perfect“ stuff like everyone walking at the same time in perfect lines and with the barbies they should have been like 10 different kinds and there all segregated with what kind there are Hardcore Utilitarian shit Also who else would of loved if they had messed up meme toys like the 4 legged duck plushy or dentist toys with the hyper realistic teeth

I visited the studio that helped make it during production. Based in DFW. Such a creative team of people, so many talented artists. Sucks to see their talent was used like this.
When I first saw the poster for the movie with my aunt she was like “pFFFt that villain guy looks like he’s played by a Jonas brother”
All the voice coaches were in this movie. All except John Legend, who is coincidentally in an actual good animated movie.
Which movie was he in?

Tbh the “perfect” dolls are the ugly ones, not the “ugly” dolls.
They look like lalaloopsy with pupils
@@staringcorgi6475 ya lol
i can agree, the "ugly" dolls have way more character and unique designs while the "perfect" dolls all stick to a similar or even the exact same body type and face.
The “perfect” dolls are within the uncanny valley ngl.
@@temmie9391 not to vouch for them but perfection means perfect, if you say 3 perfect dolls they will all be the same. That's why it's perfection is not always great
And being perfect is kinda ugly as there is no uniqueness(I think that is what the commenter wants to imply).
I literally zoned out after 2 minutes and came back right when he said "and thats ugly dolls"
For a school field trip to the movies and we had to watch this and I remember everyone screaming and booing when the songs started
Pitbull playing the dog is the best joke in the movie.
Of course after the movie being made.
What if ugly is a reclaimed slur? So like when the pretty dolls use it, it's offensive

I doubt the writers thought of that…….. or ….. did…. they?
The U Word
Exactly, they can say it to each other and other ugly dolls, but when other people say it.. well you get the idea
Im going to say the u word

Me: *unfazed*
Someone: how are you so strong
Me: If your own mom calls you ugly no insult can compete with that

is... is ugly a slur
@@lillianhalo3012 And he’s gone
Okay thanks for letting me know 👍
I think its considered bad because its coming from someone else, like I call myself stupid all the time, but like if someone other than myself called me stupid then id take offense

Idk, ask Twitter…
Uncalled for? Yes! True? *yes!*
I feel bad that this is the director Kelly Asbury’s last movie. Given his extensive track record in the animation circle, working on films like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, Nightmare Before Christmas, Toy Story, The Prince of Egypt, Shrek (which he was suppose to direct), Kung Fu Panda, Frozen, and directed both Shrek 2 and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron. He deserved a better outing.
(Edit): added in a few more movies he worked on.
Oh no...what happened to him?
@@keyscored3710 he passed away last year from abdominal cancer
He wrote this one article for Cartoon Brew 2 summers ago, that y’all should read, seeing how his last two movies flopped despite throwing his heart and effort hurts. As a filmmaker, this was so honest and insightful:
www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/coping-with-a-box-office-bomb-a-commentary-by-kelly-asbury-177167.html
Worst part about this was the fact a genuine fandom came out of the movie. Even worst part is I was part of it for like an entire summer. I have so much merch and fanart from the movie and I spent hours at a time focused on it. I saw it in the theatre like 3 times. I wish I was joking lol
The first time I watched it I thought it was okay then I re-watched and realized that the plot is basically happy group of people get told they're ugly and collapse like WHAT THE HECK
nah the reason the dolls are offended by nick jonas’ song is cos he didn’t have a u-word pass
u-word 🤣
5:48 what if the word “ugly” in this universe is supposed to parallel an offensive slur in our world? Within their own community, it’s commonplace and endearing, but when used by the elitist class, it becomes a coverup for the movie producers to be racist! A very deep, philosophical, and genius move by the director, bravo 10/10
It's basically a strawman of white people versus *INSERT MINORITY GROUP HERE*, it's genuinely disgusting

so many ads
my little brother almost exclusively watched this movie for like a month so i remembered it
My younger siblings would put this movie on before we went to bed like EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
Bruh it's like most of the budget went to the advertising, although here in Spain I never saw any ads
So I imagine it just went to anglo countries
I saw one add forever ago then I never saw it again until today

We're your film your promoting is crap

@@themyofmy
Hey Thanks
"Pitbull is voicing a dog" just think of that
Him calling them ugly hurt them because he was using it as an insult. When the “ugly dolls” call each other and their town ugly, they say it with love. He was calling them ugly to humiliate them.
So basically, "ugly" is the "n-word" of their world
@@meatloafer2762 holy shit
@@meatloafer2762 oh, So that's why when they use it is ok, but when other people use it is bad..
The original Ugly Doll world and books were so good, wacky, and intriguing. I owned a lot of ugly dolls and read everything I could about their weird characters and it’s sad to see that they sold out and let this to happen.
Kind of what happened to The Long Haul (movie).
Finally. I wanted to watch Shazam in theaters when this came out but my sister wanted to watch this and regretted it lol.
Well that stinks, I hope you did get to eventually watch Shazam

OK, cool
Ugly’s a slur only the plushies can call each other in the movie /j
The amount of people who simp for lou
I know this movie doesn't deserve the thought put into making it something substantial instead, but here we go anyway: this would have been a fantastic opportunity to make a commentary on the 'I'm not like the others' effect, where people get so caught up in making themselves as unique or unconventional as possible with the specific goal of feeding into ones own ego. It would have been interesting to see the uglydolls arrive in less of a 'perfect' town with themes of strict conformity and fascist rule and more of an 'idealized' town full of popular trends the uglydolls believe themselves superior to. I'd take a message of "it's totally fine to like a mix of both un/popular things" instead of pitting them as diametrically opposed... but hey, thats not what the machine that spits out money says, so.
YES. That would have been good!
"Ugly." Sure, those ugly dolls look much more appealing to me than the "perfect" ones and I'm sure so many kids would agree.
6:40 NOT THE CORSET SLANDER...
Basically, people kept spinning a wheel everytime they came up with an idea, and made a movie.
I knew it was bad from the previews. The whole "being different is okay" thing has been beaten into the ground.
@Dylan Sharp There are plenty of other movies they can watch though with this same message
The ugly doll comics were good, they could have just made something based off the source material
I didnt realise how many supressed memories I had of my cousins getting uglydolls in like 2009. My cousins always got them when we went to this small beach town in Michigan.
Honestly, the one thing that makes me upset is that there was a chance to have something at least mildly interesting. It’s near the end when Lou accidentally gets hit over the finish line in the Big Toy Race or whatever it is. That small scene where he whispers “No” as the line glows red after he passes it. Lou reveals that he’s actually a prototype, a reference if you will, for all other dolls and that he’s not allowed to go to the human world. He’s stuck in the Perfection Academy (idk what it’s called), watching countless dolls cycle come in and out, while he’s stuck there forever basically. Then Lou goes mad and tries destroying the portal thing so nobody can leave again. And honestly???? THAT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL. The concept of being a prototype is so interesting to me. Imagine being stuck in the same place, guiding others on a path you cannot walk, while being constantly left behind. Literally??? He can’t really make friends with anyone because he knows they’re gonna leave him sooner or later, but he’s stuck. Everyone else can escape, see the world, go anywhere else, while he’s stuck to the same role. I feel like that could’ve probably redeemed a lot if they actually explored it a bit more. They could’ve talked him out of it, sympathize with him, let him see the error in his ways… but instead they defeat him like any old supervillain and throw him in the washing machine.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I *WISH* I COULD’VE BEEN ON THE WRITING TEAM?!?! That’s an absolute GOLD MINE of character growth material that children could’ve really learned something from. How the HECK did they pass up such an amazing opportunity?! I refuse to believe any writer in existence wouldn’t have thought “Hey, what if they talk to Lou instead of fighting him?” Because the opportunity is just so obvious.

The “ugly” dolls are prettier versions of the “Fuggler” dolls that used to be sold at Walmart/Target in 2018, look it up, they even had semi realistic teeth. They should’ve made a Fuggler movie and I would’ve watched that
I have one. He's terrifying
ewwww, those things are disgusting
They're actually based off the toy line under the same name
I love how towards the end 24 Frames of Nick just turns the movie into the most depressing thing ever
Honestly coming from an old uglydolls fan, I was first introduced to it whenever the movie was first released but I did research and stuff and all that I’m too lazy to type it out so.. I honestly loved this movie and I think it delivers an important message to kids and adults alike.
I've been an actual fan & still is
The Uglydolls toys will all ways be Staples of both me & my sister Childhoods until my sister went to high school the toy trend started to die out it's one of those trends where as soon as it's targeted audience grows up it's dies out the movie took the most disrespectful nuke on both of are Childhoods
The Fandom isn't toxic fans are exactly pretty kind and talented I was pretty surprised to realize that most of the fan where actually young adults(late teens or early 20s)anything that a Fandom has it certainly is in this one Fanart, Discord Servers, Sub Reddits, Fanmade Characters, Web Comics, Cosplays, DIY's and Crafts, Rule 34(No that is not a joke) Again nothing toxic I love talking to the Fandom
It's one of those Fandoms where I like the Fandom but I don't wanna tell people I like usually do to embarrassment
Pretty kid calls ugly dolls ugly.
"Yo, this is our word, pretty boy..!"
I was always mad that they made the ugly dolls cute therefore defeating the whole purpose of their name. Also the normal dolls look more like boss baby than any actual doll for sale.
The original Uglydoll designs were more ugly, they even had yellow teeth. They were still kinds cute but were mostly shown with blank expressions in the original designs and artwork.
8:30 if I woke up feeling something stoking my cheek, and I saw the doll. I'd burn it. I'm not dealing with Chucky
Ironic that the voice actors that made a movie called Ugly Dolls are the complete opposite of ugly🤔.
The worst thing about this movie is that it feels like it came from 2002 to cash in on Kelly Clarkson's American Idol win and launch to fame but it was frozen on ice until 2019.
Fun fact: The movie was originally planned to be made by Illumination Entertainment
That actually explains a lot...
That makes so much fucking sense.
I count it as that along with
*boss baby*
Well it's trying VERY hard to be one
I'm not sure of that would make it better or worse.
When I was literally low key rooting for the villain
i saw uglydolls in theaters, it has the “nobody has watched me but you are now so your stuck here” kinda feel
They would’ve made them ugly, but that wouldn’t have been good for *merchandizing*
Ugly dolls were made before the movie! The movie is based off the actual dolls :)
THERE WERE ALREADY MERCH WTF
@@Chaos_867 it was a toy brand that started in 2002 and basically naturally faded from memory around 2014 when toy stores stoped carrying them

Oh my god same, one of my friends literally loved he blonde doll for some reason and made a bunch of fan art of him for a good few months

"Ugly" doesn't even sound like a word anymore
i think the point is that you yourself can call yourself ugly, but to see someone else saying it and agreeing with it, hurts so much more.

They also like to vore other people.
Can you explain

They should of went harder with the “perfect“ stuff like everyone walking at the same time in perfect lines and with the barbies they should have been like 10 different kinds and there all segregated with what kind there are
Hardcore Utilitarian shit
Also who else would of loved if they had messed up meme toys like the 4 legged duck plushy or dentist toys with the hyper realistic teeth
The fact that the dolls ain't ugly is a huge turn off. I own several ugly plushies myself and this is blasphemy.
