Patrick Stewart, Sean Hayes, James Corden, Anna Faris, Maya Rudolph, Rob Riggle, and T.J. Miller in The Emoji Movie (2017)
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, 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 and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak. 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.

    • Trivia
      On January 13, 2018, Saudi Arabia lifted a 35-year ban on movie theaters. This was the first movie publicly shown in the country. It played at a film festival in Jeddah, as a double feature with Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017).
    • Goofs
      Jailbreaking a phone voids its warranty. Alex would not have been able to send it to tech support.
    • Quotes

      Gene: My feelings are huge. Maybe I'm meant to have more than just one emotion! I have so much more.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There is a scene before the closing rolling credits: Smiler is stuck in the loser lounge, wearing braces and losing a game of cards.
    • Alternate versions
      For its UK release, Sony had to remove some mild language in order to receive an U rating instead of a PG - this included a visual use of "WTF" (considered 'disguised strong language' and worthy of a 12A) and a verbal use of "turd".

    A truly underrated feel good film about persuing your dreams and accepting yourself, with lots of fun along the way!
    I don't understand all the poor reviews, this film was creative and innovative from a new perspective: building a whole world around a small tech feature
