"Inside your phone, there's a secret world–and we enter through the text app where we discover Emoji Valley, where the industrious Emoji live and work," Sony Pictures Animation president Kristine Belson said, as reported by The Wrap. The movie is due out in theaters in 2017.

By the end of the emoji movie's first act, the characters discover that every smartphone app has a world to explore, thus leading to ample opportunities for other branding deals with real-world apps.

The Wrap heard from sources that the emoji movie will also be co-marketed and sponsored by real-world app makers, including music streaming service Spotify and potentially Facebook.

Would you watch a movie about emojis?

Form another source:

The storyline will involve the main characters (presumably the Emoji themselves) leaving Emoji Valley for the broader world of their phone's homescreen, where they discover that they can enter the other worlds that exist within each individual app. According to Belson, this will involve imaginative scenarios like the Emoji riding boats on an actual stream representing the world of the music-streaming app, and a report by The Wrap reveals that streaming giant Spotify has already closed a deal for their service to sponsor this segment of the film. In the same presentation, Sony chairman Tom Rothman elaborated: We have a number of power brands returning relaunching or being reintroduced — and yet at Sony we also believe that it is vital to maintain a commitment to originality."
