The Emoji Movie - Was It Really THAT Bad?

THE EMOTICON MOVIE: https://youtu.be/eAl0wBq0an0 So a lot of people seem to be confused about the title, I’m in no way saying this god-awful piece of garbage is good. The title is a rhetorical question asking if the immense hate this movie got was actually deserved, especially compared to something that should genuinely be illegal like Cuties. And it would be pretty nice if people actually took the time to hear me out, thanks.

Fun Fact: For the Japanese dub, a lot of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure voice actors worked in this movie for some weird reason.

Something I think I should applaud The Emoji Movie for is the character designs, not the quality but the quantity. The designers had to design HUNDREDS of distinct background characters based on existing emojis alongside other properties, and honestly that is a feat in such a rushed movie.

He accidentally sent a wrong emoji so he deletes his phone?

When the review of the movie is more funny and enjoyable than the movie itself, you know something is wrong.

I have a friend who has one of those McDonald’s plushies, and at school he threw it at my fucking face with no context.

I feel like the plot should go like this: Gene messes up his first day of being used as an emoji, and feeling disappointed in himself he goes to the workplace to send a proper meh emoji with the help of his childhood friend, high five. But he ends up destroying the workplace. Everyone tries to find out who did it and out of guilt he tells his parents (who work for the smiley emoji) and then tells him he is running away so no one finds out. But the smile emoji was stalking them and sends robots after him and the parents, knowing this, try to get to him first. Remember, the entire emoji hq was destroyed by gene, so the teenager using the phone wonders why and asks his friends, and they think that his phone got hacked and he should get a new one.

5:02 As a programmer, I can confirm this is hacking.

I remember watching one review where they suggested a better plot idea where there’s two lovers who meet online but they speak different languages so the emojis try to help them communicate. I think that idea could have been much nicer.

"Then she talks about removing the dislike button." Really got me. So hilarious.

The twitter bird scene aged well

I'm so sorry I watched this when I was a bit younger and I loved it so much Like it brought me joy I didn't really watch a ton of movies since, well, I didn't have time for it, but in the time I got to watch movies this was one of my favourites I'm sorry for letting you down T3rr0r

Sony Animation is the weirdest studio. Occasionally they'll pump out the best thing you've ever seen and then immediately go back to something like the Emoji Movie

I'm surprised Alex isn't depressed because he has Twitter on his phone

I nearly had a stroke out of laughter, this man is a comedy genius!

13:43 just me but as a kid I took that seen where she was staring at the window, she wasn’t smiling and she was also a malfunction, and it would be revealed at some point, I was then shocked that Sony did nothing with it.

As a native Polish I laughed so hard when he tried to pronounce "Wojcicki" Fun Fact: Jailbreak was called "Matrix" in Polish dub, so that makes this movie sucks double in that version

“I still don’t know how they made my favourite movie a year later”- everybody

10:47 I love this, I started dying, how are you so funny? Like I'm about to die because I can't breathe
