Flick Friday-UGLYDOLLS

I hope that I am a good example for my children.  We can not guarantee that they will always do what is right, we can only hope that everything we teach them, is in there somewhere.  Also, I cannot protect them forever.  I wish we could.  The world can be cruel at times. 

Thanks to Allied and STXfilms for inviting my family to the advance screening of UGLYDOLLS.  All opinions stated are my own and based on my personal experience.

Synopsis - 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 UglyDoll friends live every day in a whirlwind of bliss, letting their freak flags fly in a celebration of life and its endless possibilities.   In this all-new story, the UGLYDOLLS will go on a journey beyond the comfortable borders of Uglyville.  There, they 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.

And isn't that the best message we can teach our kids. 

Perfection is just an illusion.  Busting that bubble sooner than later is just what I did with my kids.  At times, some topics are harder than others to talk about or bring up.  UGLYDOLLS can be a great conversation starter. This movie not only has a great message but it a good movie for the entire family to enjoy.

The film is inspired by the unique and beloved global plush toy phenomenon launched in 2001 and features all new original songs from the cast of popstars.  Unconventionality rules in the new animated musical adventure starring the acting and singing voices of Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, Janelle Monáe, Blake Shelton and Pitbull.  Also starring in the voice cast of UGLYDOLLS are Wanda Sykes, Gabriel Iglesias, Wang Leehom, Emma Roberts, Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX and Lizzo.

UGLYDOLLS is directed by Kelly Asbury and is in theaters on today, May 3, 2019.
