The official final trailer has been released for "UglyDolls," an animated musical comedy that features an impressive voice cast largely comprised of popular recording artists, including the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, Janelle Monae, Blake Shelton, and Pitbull.

Adapted from the popular plush toy brand of the same name, the animated film follows a motley group of misfit discarded dolls -- led by the happy-go-lucky Moxy (voiced by Clarkson) as they venture out into the world for the first time in their lives. They soon discover a place called the Institution of Perfection, an elite doll academy where perfection is the goal. After some push back from rivals, Moxy and her UglyDoll friends learn to accept themselves and celebrate the beauty of their imperfections.

Featuring original music performed by the main voice cast, "UglyDolls" is directed by veteran animation helmer Kelly Asbury, whose credits include "Shrek 2," "Smurfs: The Lost Village," and "Gnomeo & Juliet."

The film also features the voices of Wanda Sykes, Emma Roberts, and Gabriel Iglesias, and is set to open in theaters May 10th.

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 UglyDolls friends live every day in a whirlwind of bliss, letting their freak flags fly in a celebration of life and its endless possibilities, occasionally looking to the sky, where a new UglyDoll will appear and be embraced by the community.

Moxy (Kelly Clarkson) loves her square-peg life in this round-hole town, but her curiosity about all things leads her to wonder if there's something -- anything -- on the other side of the mountain which nestles Uglyville. Moxy gathers a group of her closest friends and sets off to find what's on the other side. They discover another world -- Perfection -- a town where more conventional dolls are trained in protocols before they graduate and are sent to the "real" world to find the love of a child.

In Perfection, Moxy and her crew are subject to the manipulations of Lou (Nick Jonas), the perfect doll in charge of training recruits. Here, the UglyDolls 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.
