It's a crime against the natural order that that trailer will never have as many dislikes as the Ghostbusters remake.

When you look at a lot of animated movies out of context, there's at least some potential to be had. Whether it's a movie about emotions, a movie about pets, a movie about talking toys, or even a movie with talking yellow things that kind of look like Corn Pops. But, a movie about emojis? Who the hell wants this? I mean, I can accept those plush things you can buy at Wal-Mart as a "ahhhh, look, I got a poop emoji!" kind of novelty, but an entire animated movie that took years of time, money, and effort to make? Noooooope.
And, who knows, maybe it'll be a decent flick; The Angry Birds Movie was a good time. But I hate how it feels like there was some meeting at Sony where one lowly intern said, "Hey, what about a movie with these emoji things on my phone!".

Patrick Stewart.....is the poop emoji.....Patrick f***ING STEWART! is the poop emoji. I hate the god damn world. To be fair, he worked on American Dad, so it's not like his standards are that high.

The protagonist of that commercial looks like Eden Sher, BTW.

So the internet uproar about this being made is a little silly to me. If a person thinks it's a bad idea, said person should avoid watching the movie. Looking at the flip side of the coin, if a person thinks they have an interesting enough idea to make a movie about the personality of emojis, why shit on that person's creativity? What "good" is achieved by discouraging someone from exploring an idea because you, personally don't like the idea? I hate the idea of eating Bambi, but that doesn't mean I think all people should stop eating venison. Unfortunately, this movie's already destined to fail because people are going into it with a negative view; they've already let what they're looking for (the negatives) affect their experience and enjoyment of any merits the film may have. Seems like it happens with a lot of movies lately.

In Idiocracy, Ass the movie won several Oscars.
I'm not saying there's any analogue at all, but this could do very well.

The poster boy should be the shit emoji. That would give a honest first impression

That would give a honest first impression Man, if this isn't some weirdly meta demonstration on how weird movie ideas can be, I don't know what the hell's going on here. I get the joke and all, but do they seriously not know how bad this entire concept is, and then to have that poster? Also, I've been wanting to ask this for a while: What situation is the shit emoji even meant for? Like, ignoring the strange "slang" uses people use things like the eggplant, the peach that kind of looks like an ass but not really unless you're really wanting it to, and the water drops which is... okay sure, is there an actual reason to use it?

This movie will surely age well in a year or two.

This movie will surely age well in a year or two. Well, I've been using emojis emoticons (in some form or another) for my entire 20+ years on the internet now. Just realized I've been online 2/3 of my life. I'm talking about how emojis seem to change every year or so these days.

I only needed to see the title of this film to know Sony would be involved.

Patrick Stewart is amazing, but to me this is screaming "we really want to be the LEGO Movie".
I hate the design of that outlaw emoji. She looks like a rip of Wyldstyle or GoGo from Big Hero 6.
