The teaser for The Emoji Movie is introduced by Meh (voiced by Steven Wright), and that almost seems too perfect. We also get a glimpse at talking ice cream cone and, yes, poop emojis. The trailer is also set to the sounds of “Express Yourself.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The 3D animated film that takes a deep dive into life inside your smartphone also features the voices of T.J. Miller, James Corden, and Ilana Glazer. The Emoji Movie will be in theaters on August 4th, 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 (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. Directed by Tony Leondis. Written by Tony Leondis & Eric Siegel and Mike White. Produced by Michelle Raimo Kouyate.
