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". In Australia, both the version containing the singular use of the word "turd" and the version that replaces the former with the word "poop" were released, the latter only found on the DVD release, with the normal version being used on every other platform. Both of which retain their G rating for certain scenes that can scare very young children. Some versions of the movie, primarily those on streaming services, have alternative credits sequences, replacing the cast names with additional developers of the movie in their place.

    All 10 star reviewers must be paid by Sony
    No way anyone in their right mind and not being paid to would give this 10 stars.
