Kelly Clarkson Leads the Voice Cast of STX’s ‘Uglydolls’ Movie

Musician and The Voice judge Kelly Clarkson’s next project is one that she calls a dream come true.

The singer will be starring in the upcoming STX animated film Uglydolls. Clarkson is set to voice the role of the film’s lead character named Moxy. In the film, Clarkson’s character Moxy and her UglyDolls friends 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.

In addition to voicing the character of Moxy, Clarkson will also be using her well-known vocal talents to perform an original song from the upcoming film. Pitbull has also been previously set as part of the voice cast.

Chairman of STX films Adam Fogelson expressed his excitement at having an exceptional talent like Kelly Clarkson on board for their upcoming film. He said:

We are beyond thrilled that for her next project she chose to do ‘Uglydolls’ after she saw our character designs, animatics and set pieces, which she loved. We look forward to collaborating with an artist of Kelly’s exceptional talent and versatility.”[/row]

Clarkson is overjoyed by the opportunity and can’t keep from expressing her excitement over the film. In a statement, she said:

[row]“The UglyDolls’ universal message celebrating our differences and individuality really resonates with me, and when STX showed me how incredible ‘UglyDolls’ will look and feel, I jumped at being part of that world. I can’t wait to start working with the team at STX, the cast, and filmmakers.”[/row]

Additionally, she took to her social media with a quick Minute and a Glass of Wine to talk about how excited she is to play Moxy in the upcoming film.

 

Clarkson appeared as a judge for the first time this past season on The Voice and even ended up winning the competition with her team member Brynn Cartelli. Clarkson will be returning to the show once again for its upcoming 15th season.
