But what's wrong with working in reverse? I thought the story in the Angry Birds Movie was great, really compelling and fleshed out. I heard great things about the Lego movie. I don't really see a distinction.

LOL when kids of this generation grow up to learn the movies they adored as kids are all based on games their parents played on their cellphones while waiting for the bus

The success of the Angry Birds Movie is the worst thing that could have happened to the near-future of children's cinema. And possibly human culture on the whole.― Manspread Mann (Old Lunch), Wednesday, June 22, 2016 1:14 PM (1 hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalinkdid you see it? excellent movie. almost as good as Zootopia.― flappy bird, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 18:38 (2 hours ago) Permalink

Patrick Stewart is set to voice the poo emoji in animated adventure The Emoji Movie. The actor, known for his stage and screen work, will play Poop alongside Silicon Valley star TJ Miller, Broad City star Ilana Glazer and James Corden.The plot follows an emoji born with multiple expressions who goes on an adventure in a teenager’s phone. The announcement of Stewart’s involvement was accompanied by news that Christopher Guest’s longtime collaborator Jennifer Coolidge and Bridesmaids star Maya Rudolph will also voice characters in the film.The film is being directed by Tony Leondis and among the script’s many writers is Mike White, whose work includes School of Rock and acclaimed HBO comedy Enlightened.A teaser trailer was recently released to largely negative feedback online. The majority of its trailer uploads on YouTube are currently swayed by dislikes, with one featuring more than 11 times disapproval versus approval.

But since its release is still impending, I'll go ahead and predict that it breaks at least one box office record and spawns at least two sequels and possibly a spinoff.

from EW review:
Gene has to go on the run with another misfit, Hi-5 (James Corden), one of the most horrifyingly Cronenberg-y cartoon creations since John Lasseter gave a car a tongue. Hi-5 is a talking hand, and whereas most of the Emojis look like rubber, Hi-5 has uncanny-valley skin. His palm has cheeks, and a belly that can stiffen into a 4-pack. At one point, Hi-5 turns around, and we see that this hand has a butt.

Maybe in the sequel the emojis can come out of the phone and into the pocket where the phone is and they can meet Lint and Penny and Used Kleenex and hopefully there will be stuffed animals and lunchboxes emblazoned with those soon to be much-loved characters and maybe I'll get fed into a wood chipper before that happens and maybe if I'm not fed I'll just like gracefully dive into the whirring spinning blades of my own volition.
