* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Zigzagged. Moxy is pink with eyelashes, though Wage lacks any defining feminine traits, looking just like the original doll, who was male. Meanwhile, Wedgehead is a middle ground. Like Wage, she is flipped from a male character in the toyline, meaning she has no additional characteristics, though she is given a bright yellow color scheme in the movie, instead of the dark blue of the original toy.

* BarelyMissedCushion: A slow turtle-like Uglydoll is holding the mattress across its back during Wedgehead's introduction to Uglyville. Unfortunately for her, the mattress didn't get to the location in time, which causes her to slam headfirst onto the ground, gaining her wedge-shaped head.

The story takes place in Uglyville, an oddball location where the Uglydolls live. Moxy(Music/KellyClarkson) loves it here, but also wants to know what’s on the other side of the mountain. With her closest friends Wage (Wanda Sykes), Babo (Creator/GabrielIglesias), Ox (Music/BlakeShelton), Ugly Dog (Music/{{Pitbull}}), and Lucky Bat (Wang Leehom), the group find themselves in the town of Perfection.

''Uglydolls'' is a 2019 animated film, and movie adaptation of the [[Toys/{{Uglydolls}} stuffed toy line of the same name]]. It is the first film in STX Entertainment’s “family and animation” division.

The story takes place in Uglyville, an oddball location where the Uglydolls live. Moxy(Music/KellyClarkson) loves it here, but also wants to know what’s on the other side of the mountain.

There, dolls are instructed to be perfect by the town’s leader, Lou (Music/NickJonas), giving them their chance of going to the “real world” as the toys for children. It’s here that the Uglydolls realize what it truly means to be unique and different.

The movie is set to release on May 10th, 2019. The first trailer premiered on November 7th, 2018.
