I thoroughly enjoyed this film! I think the music was catchy and creative, and props to the staff for using original songs instead of pre-existing ones. It was a cute little film with a great message about accepting oneself for who they are. It was animated well, and a fun experience overall. However, that's not to say the movie didn't have its flaws. I've watched the movie five times now, and as someone who is very familiar with the lore, there were quite a few plotholes. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING SEGMENTS OF THIS REVIEW CONTAIN SPOILERS. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING SEGMENTS OF THIS REVIEW CONTAIN SPOILERS. The first plothole I discovered was the Gauntlet's rules change halfway through, towards the end of the film. "Reject" dolls and "prototype" dolls are unable to pass, yet suddenly, when the UglyDolls run it, they are suddenly able to pass because they've shown love and acceptance? And how does that work for the other PrettyDolls who've already passed through the Gauntlet without the same liberty? Are there multiple ways to pass? If so, that wasn't made very clear. Second, how did the factory send Lou to do his job? Were there humans AWARE they'd created a living doll and still sent him out to train other dolls? if so, that means they are voluntarily destroying reject dolls without any mercy! Third, when Lou confesses the dolls' training was all for show, he mentions the PrettyDolls turned on Ox because of him. This was never shown- in fact, I can safely say exactly the opposite of this happened. Lou was the only one who cared about Ox's existence when he arrived at the Institution. And finally, this next segment is regarding my favorite character, Lou. I think he should've had a second chance. It's true that he messed up, and went too far. But when he asked for forgiveness, not a SINGLE doll bothered to give it to him. Granted, I would understand them throwing him into the washer if they'd offered him a second chance that he purposely BLEW, but that didn't happen. He regretted what he did, and no one seemed to care. And the worst part of all is that happened AFTER he revealed he's a prototype. Isn't the entire point of the film you can be accepted and loved REGARDLESS of your flaws, particularly if they are something you're born with or can't help? The majority of people see Lou as a "bully". And in a way, yes, that was probably the point. However, I truly believe there's a bigger picture. This poor prototype is the ONLY ONE in the entire Institution who cannot leave for the Big World. And he became bitter and sorrowful as he watched thousands of other dolls leave for the Big World, while he never could, and never will. By NO means do I justify his actions, I just think at least ONE of the other dolls could've TRIED seeing things from Lou's perspective and given him another chance. Deep down, all Lou wants is to be loved by someone, and I feel more sorry for him than anyone else in this movie.
