The Emoji Movie Theatrical Trailer

Discover the secret world inside your phone as Sony Pictures Entertainment release the official theatrical trailer for their upcoming animated film The Emoji Movie. View trailer below.
The Emoji Movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression – except for Gene (T.J. Miller), an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 (James Corden) and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak (Anna Faris). Together, they embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.
Hmmm…like I said about the teaser trailer for this movie, I have very low expectations for this movie. Sure the movie looks colorful and the voice talents are very recognizable (Miller, Faris, and Corden), but surrounding a film’s premise on social media text icons seems like a weak story. I know its gonna to try to be hip and cool by trying to speak to a modern audience (kids / teens with their phones), but it just seems like a stupid narrative to follow. As I said, I really don’t expect much from this movie as I do believe this is gonna be mediocre.
