So we love smartphones, we have em all the time, we spend most of our free time looking at em...

...but somehow everything related to smartphones is "terrible".

Not much different than junk food or other mildly harmful addictions I guess. Even though people are well aware it's bad for them, they still do it.

[BewareTheBatsie]

So did they look at Inside Out and go 'we can do that but with phones'?

 

[Ray Wonder]

Lol is Sony gonna use the Apple Emoji types.

 

[jett]

Of course it's a Sony movie. That studio desperately needs new management.

 

[cacildo]

Why dont they just release the Angry Birds movie btw?

This is running kinda late... isnt angry birds kinda getting forgotten right now?

[IdreamofHIME]

Too bad Deadpool already stole their lunch in advertising

 

[spookyfish]

Sounds like a steaming pile of

"We rate The Emoji Movie FOUR swirly poops ... out of five."

Impervious millennial: "Is it dril?"

 

[EdibleKnife]

I don't know whether this is inspiring or cripplingly disheartening for people who consider themselves budding creative writers

Impervious millennial: "Is it dril?"

If dril's in, I'm in.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Hold, brother! They have not yet perpetrated a The Sims film! We are safe... for now.

I want the Sims adaptation to be two hours of French cinéma vérité with people just talking, eating and smoking... then at the end we zoom way, way out and a goofy character played by Will Ferrell has been in control of everything the whole time.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Yep, this sounds like a Sony Pictures production alright.

this is the only one I loled at.

 

[flyover]

hell yeah man this movie gonna be the bomb yall

 

[Hoo-doo]

hell yeah man this movie gonna be the bomb yall

I'd watch the shit out of this. I mean, I got to know what that eggplant is for.

 

[flyover]

you ride it man. it's the fastest cycle in the grid.

[God Dayumm]

Is an emoji this...

😒😒

or is it this:

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

or this :

?

 

[.JayZii]

Gross.

Is there literally anyone on the planet who sees there is an emoji movie and thinks, "that sounds great!"? I refuse to believe so.

 

[timetokill]

I guess those internal emails asking why Sony has to make such shitty movies really worked.

Soon Adam Sandler movies will seem like the good ol' days at Sony.

 

[redmetal86]

Where the hell is my wingdings movie?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

GAF out of touch again.

This is going to be the kids movie of the year

 

[Nori Chan]

This is the worst thing to ever happen to the human race

you're just mad cause no one has your name with emojis in it saved in their contacts

scust

[WhateverItTakes]

There's a certain demographic of young people that'll go nuts for this, and then another set that might see it for the bant.

If the writing's good then it can still be a fun film, the subject matter just seems completely banal.

 

[EdibleKnife]

There's a certain demographic of young people that'll go nuts for this, and then another set that might see it for the bant.

Will they? I know young people like to text and use emojis but this is like making a "Jacks" movie in the 1920's because kids were seen using them often.

[Sai-kun]

do NOT sign me the FUCK up

 

[Xun]

Sony has reached a new level of creative bankruptcy.

It's a shame since Sony Animation is filled with talented people.

But this and Angry Birds? Ugh.

 

[Violet_0]

only fitting for a movie based on mobile apps to steal their plot from somewhere else

 

[Funky Papa]

Sony chairman Tom Rothman

Lie with dogs...

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Reminds me of the toys currently in Happy Meals right now. Last week DC Hot Wheels and Barbie. This week:

 

[J2 Cool]

Hollywood has really run out of ideas haven't they?

They canned a Genndy-directed Popeye, and greenlit this.

 

[Ampersands]

They canned a Genndy-directed Popeye, and greenlit this.

Aww what, they stopped production on that Popeye movie? It looked so slick.

 

[Altazor]

I hope this guy appears

 

[Mr-Joker]

I swear that Sony at this point just throw shit at the wall and what ever sticks is what they will make movies on.

Thank fuck that Marvel is in the driving seat for Spider-Man, while Sony just stand in other room where they can do the least amount of damage.

Aww what, they stopped production on that Popeye movie? It looked so slick.

It was for the best as it allowed Tartakovsky to bring back Samurai Jack.

Popeye died so Jack can finish his quest. *Salute*

 

[kurahador]

Could be worse. It could stars Adam Sandler.

 

[bearythebear]

Meh... Y'all didn't mind Wreck it Ralph using real video game brands, but a movie with Facebook/tinder jokes is too much?

I bet this is a huge hit

 

[Elitist1945]

Sony WHAT THE FUCK is your movie division thinking? They're horrible.

 

[Spaghetti]

Filmmaking has hit its peak. Pack it up.

 

[StoopKid]

Does someone actually own emojis?

 

[Mr-Joker]

Meh... Y'all didn't mind Wreck it Ralph using real video game brands, but a movie with Facebook/tinder jokes is too much?

I bet this is a huge hit

That's different, Wreck it Ralph was made with love towards the video game market and the Video game brand was not the focal point of the movie.

This however does not scream that other than trying to appeal to people who use those apps.

Does someone actually own emojis?

Somebody probably does.

 

[Toad.T]

So now we come into the biggest debate of them all:

Which celebrity will voice the poop emoji?

 

[Toothless]

So did they look at Inside Out and go 'we can do that but with phones'?

Reminds me more of Wreck-It Ralph but incredibly shitty and with even more product placement.

 

[Koppai]

Can we have a Grindr reference? xD

Hollywood has no more ideas. Movies are over. There's nothing left to see.
