This might be the biggest hit with children that we see in 2019. Prepare for a cuteness overload as the popular range of plush toys, named 'UglyDolls' get their own movie. If you have little ones of your own, expect them to pester you into taking them to see it when it comes out on May 10th!
The film takes the format of a jukebox musical, with 'American Idol' winner Kelly Clarkson lending her singing voice to the lead character, and Pitbull, Nick Jonas, Charlie XCX and several more names from the world of music making contributions, too. When they're not singing, the film will highlight the themes of confidence and identity, with the overall message being the importance of being comfortable in your own skin. We expect this one to sell a lot of tickets at the cinema, and even more dolls in toy shops!
