Sony has uploaded the teaser for the animated The Emoji Movie [EMOJI] based on pictorial emoticons used in messaging. "Meh" seems to be an odd choice to introduce a film that most moviegoers are going to feel 'meh' about. Then again, "Ice Cream" and "Poo" are also featured for those that think the film will be a treat or total crap. The Emoji Movie sends into theaters on August 4th.
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 (Ilana Glazer). 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.
