Review of UglyDolls (2019) by Mason_The_2Nd — 04 Jan 2020
I'm not kidding, I honestly like Uglydolls. It has some small issues with its writing, the message does feel slightly hammered in, and it does feel a bit too Disney Channel-ish for something called "Uglydolls". But it does offer catchy songs, lovable characters, beautiful animation, a simplistic yet fitting story for the property, chuckle-worthy humor, some strong emotional moments, and a well-executed theme about your body image. It's a very fun movie with a big heart, and I feel like families can get a kick out of this one. Yea, it's corny, but it's the charming kind of corny. Hell, the film is aware of how stupid it is.
If you think this movie is Boring, Forgettable, and Annoying, then ok, I respect your opinion. But please for the Love Of God don't use arguments like:
-It's a Trolls Ripoff (Just because it has colorful characters and pop songs, doesn't make it a ripoff of Trolls. Both are almost entirely different movies.).
-They're not ugly, they're cute (They've always been cute. You can argue they made them a bit too cute, but they've never really changed that much so...).
-It copies other animated films (Don't all animated films copy each other? It's nothing new.).
-It shows how all Animated Films are terrible now (Not every single film has to have something deep you know. Just let a simple movie be a simple movie. If you're gonna compare this to something like Spider-Verse, then you shouldn't be called a critic. People just bash this movie because it's an easy target, just like Barney's Great Adventure, and it's very tiring. If you're going to critique a silly kids movie, go ahead, but please don't go deep into what it does wrong, because it just seems so childish. This film doesn't represent how animated films are terrible nowadays, it represents how much critics can't find good criticisms for animated movies anymore.).
What I'm saying is that, if you dislike it, fine. But please don't be so hard on it.
Thank You.
