Emojimovie:Express Yourself

The little smiley faces and eggplant emojis we send to one another are getting there very own full length animated feature film. Sony is making the film along with Lilo & Stitch 2 director Anthony Leondis. The film for lack of a better word sounds like complete shit... or does it? Sony has released the names of the actors who are set to voice the main characters in the film and the cast seems pretty strong. Joining the Emojimovie is James Coreden and T.J Miller (Dead Pool) as well as Ilana Glazer (Broad City). A cast like this may be able to turn this shit emoji into a thumbs up seeing as other weird properties like Legos and angry birds were able to succeed because of the strong comedic cast those films had. On top of all the casting news Sony also released an official synopsis that reads as follows. "“Emojimovie: Express Yourself 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.”

Director Anthony Leondis also shared his excitement with the films cast by stating the following. "“Hi-5 is a high-five emoji who is a highly motivated, and highly dramatic, hand on a mission (sorry), and the brilliantly versatile, ebullient and always lovable James Corden fits this part like a glove (sorry again). For the rebel ‘break all the codes’ computer programmer emoji Jailbreak, Ilana Glazer is the kind of singularly free-spirited, fearless and funny actress to make girls really feel the empowered ‘nobody’s gonna keep me in a cage’ attitude this character exudes. And, of course, T.J. Miller has proven himself to be one of the most genuinely inventive comedic actors around, uniquely capable of connecting and who can convey just about any expression—and often does!”

So don't be surprised ghouls and gals if this movie hits big with the younger audiences as well as adults.
