The upcoming animated film comes from the studio that made Angry Birds.
The first teaser trailer for the forthcoming The Emoji Movie has been unveiled. The clip, which you can watch below, features the meh, ice-cream and poo emoji.
The film comes from the studio behind this year’s Angry Birds Movie. It is expected to be released in August 2017, directed by Tony Leondis who directed Kung Fu Panda.
Silicon Valley and Deadpool star TJ Miller will voice the character of Gene, an “exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions.”
The film, which was originally titled Emojimovie: Express Yourself, will also star James Corden, who provides the voice for Hi-5, and Broad City’s Ilana Glazer as Jailbreak.
The plot involves the “secret lives of emojis” trapped in a smartphone. The protagonist of the animated movie is Gene (Miller), a unique emoji who is capable of facial expressions, but wants to be “normal” like the other emojis.
He goes on a journey with the aid of his best friend, Hi-5 (Corden) and “the notorious code breaker emoji” Jailbreak (Glazer) to find the Code which will fix him.
