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.

does every age of civilization have its Emoji Movie? what was the nadir of fucked up, meaningless creativity while Rome was collapsing?

Dad jokes aside, I would dearly liked to have been in the meeting where they decided the hand should have a butt

Does the poop have a butt?

what comes out of the poop's butt? corn on the cob?

does not appear to have a butt based on this clip, although it raises more questions than it answers

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.

In the end — and I am going to spoil this movie here, please prepare yourself for the loss — the emojis turn into GIFs, I guess. Because Gene’s ability to turn himself into multiple feelings helps his user Alex express complicated feelings to the girl he likes everyone gets on board with Gene’s defect.
What? There's no way I'm trusting anarchic emojis with minds of their own in an important text message.

I don't get why the reviews for this are so bad. I saw it last night and it ruled. Charlize Theron kicked so much ass and the 80's soundtrack was Cold War-tastic.

OK, briefly... it's not a well constructed or well written movie, a huge missed opportunity. But the disgust and over the top loathing that this movie is receiving isn't because it's not engaging or even that it's a lazy Inside-Out ripoff, it's because it's the complete opposite of an escapist summer movie. There are so many rich philosophical and social questions posed - time and relativity, multiple universes, and the emojis' condition - being restricted to one emotion at birth and imprisoned within Textopolis in the same way that we complain about being imprisoned by social media and our smartphones. It's a pretty heady movie that squanders its premise and isn't engaging. But the Paris sequence with the parents was kind of beautiful, being able to walk inside of your user's Instagram photo roll and explore a frozen world. I mean, it gets pretty fucking out there at times. Wonder Woman is escapism, The Emoji Movie is reality, and it's horrifying. No wonder people have such a visceral reaction to it.

Is it as good as the third matrix movie, Speed Racer, or The Conversation?
― El Tomboto, Monday, 31 July 2017 03:42 (seven years ago) link
It's definitely better than Matrix Revolutions. I didn't see the 2008 Speed Racer. if John Cazale were alive and in The Emoji Movie, it would be better than The Conversation.

oh yeah, there's an "abandoned luggage" emoji that's black (wtf?). there are black emojis and people in the movie, but the abandoned luggage sounds like Katt Williams, says "oh HELL naw," etc.

the angry birds movie was nothing compared to this. i really came close to crying during that Paris Instagram scene.
