First Trailer For THE EMOJI MOVIE Is About What You'd Expect
The first trailer for The Emoji Movie is here, and it's about what you'd expect. To be honest, the whole trailer felt like I was watching a trailer for the first Wreck-It Ralph! Of course, it's a kids movie, it's not like it's supposed to be Oscar worthy or anything, but I guess I expected a bit more considering the great cast that it has.
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 (Anna Faris). 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.
The cast also includes Steven Wright as Mel Meh, Maya Rudolph as Smiler, Jennifer Coolidge as Mary Meh, Jake T. Austin as Alex and Sir Patrick Stewart as the Poop Emoji. Check out the trailer below and see the movie in theaters August 4th.
