The Emoji Movie

I thought Hollywood couldn't get any lower than Sing.
I thought wrong...

FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE.

This shit is why most people in America and other Western countries don't take animation seriously.

Jesus fucking Christ I hate the Western animation industry so Goddamn much.

I wish I could say there's something in this that I could be optimistic about, even if it's just the lighting, but no. No this just looks horrible on every level.

why are emojis a thing, when emoticons have existed all these millenium, and they werent an obscure term?

I dunno, trademarks and shit.

I want to shake the hand of the marketing guy who got this poster approved. Because this is a clear as day warning that the movie is shit.

Not using corn as teeth. Come on!

This will make more money than Kubo and the Two Strings.

>pudding happens

The Emoji Movie opens the door for a whole new level of creative bankruptcy.

I want a movie that's just about dad jokes. I want an entire movie about a dad who sits at the dinner table reading a newspaper for 2 hours telling shitty dad jokes to anyone who passes by.

And I want it to star the entire cast of the Big Bang Theory and I want the poster to just be a pair of raised eyebrows and I want it to be from the executive assistants of the producers who brought you Shrek.

Posting the rest, cause why not?

Why Sony?

...

Atleast it's kinda cute

...

Saved the best for last.

This is why the aliens won't visit us

(Literally) Red herring
True villain

Nah I doubt it. Reception has been unanimously negative. This is gonna be the next Food Fight.

PORN WHERE

the shit is obviously going to be the villain

I want to fuck that symbol of the degradation and simplification of human linguistic culture.

Where is the laughing with a tear in his eye one.

I got 10 on it becoming the next Lego Movie

I'll raise your bet to 20 that it'll bomb.

Someone finding a dollar in the street would make more money than Kubo and the Two Strings

They're saving him for the sequel.

Can't fockin wait

I wish I were an alien so I could leave this planet

The bright side is that Sony can't pull the sexism card on the massive amount of dislikes this movie's trailer is getting.

It started as an Apple thing, right?
Some ease of use thing that got people to put little flames and clapping hands in between words as easy as letters?

...

Sony anticipated this so they disabled comments and the like/dislike feature when they uploaded it to their Youtube channel.

And they banned it from being seen in Canada

Kek.

This proofs there is no god. Checkmate theist.

Thank god.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen any threads on Sing. Like, you would think with Sup Forums's rabid furry base that there'd be at least one thread but I haven't seen anything.

The only time after 1969 that the western animation industry was any good is when it was ran by the Japanese.

Go watch Your Name instead, you will thank me later.
You get a hand drawn movie about wise cracking blue & pink rabbits and like it.

there are 3 threads right now, open your fucking eyes

>Literal talking shit.

JUST

>not available in bongistan either

I bet you 50 that the Chinese will eat this shit up and bring back twice it's budget overseas

No, it's horrendous

Where's the special snowflake emoji with a body unlike all the others? I thought she was a main character, and yet she doesn’t even get her own poster.

You have not been to Chinese boards, they hate it just as much as we do here.

100 bucks says they'll call the haters sexist bigots

Wouldn't stop the majority zerg-rushing the theaters to see it anyway

It's going to be a domestic success but an international failure

Emojis are really popular with one particular demographic.
You know the one

>Go watch Your Name instead, you will thank me later.
Already did. In fact, I saw it when it premiered at Anime Expo and yes it's a fucking masterpiece that deserves the Oscar for best picture.
However, the Academy's judges are fucking clueless when it comes to animation since they don't take it seriously thanks to movies like the Emoji Movie and will just go "Fuck it, just give it to the Disney movie again."

Oh, guess I'm jsut blind.

If anything, it was more to do with "I rather give it to someone I can pronounce" but anything Disney does is still better then The Emoji Movie.

I don't remember a brown ghost in pacman

I disagree. Especially when Disney nabs the best animated feature Oscar pretty much every year.

As long as it's not The Emoji Movie nobody will care.

Best Animated Feature was created by the Academy just to be Disney's ghetto, why is anyone still surprised by this

Emoji were invented in Japan in the 80s. They are distinct from emoticons in that instead of being built from text characters like :^) , the little emoji pictures could be sent though SMS.

They provided much more versatility and recognizably. They only recently became popular worldwide with the proliferation of smart phones.

That is not correct - see this post

The Academy is fucking stupid. News at 11.

I, for my part, am stoked for the "unfunny pictures your relatives post on Facebook" movie.

>poor emoji making that classic dream works face

Seriously. What the fuck!

>Reception has been unanimously negative
That's because the people who are watching this aren't the ones giving reception. It's going to make millions off of that fat kid you see at the Walmart checkout with the Minions tshirt and a name ending with "-dyn" who's screaming at nothing,

Well yeah, they like to see a fellow yellow on the screen.

>I'm absolutely euphoric right now
I'm sure that's what the sort of people who would watch this movie would say

>It's actually happening
I thought this was a delusional fever dream or joke that went WAY. TO. FAR.

never change, Sup Forums

they'll just call you a troll.
After the election the internet as become full on "If they disagree they are trolls", cwc style. Even journalists in real review do that

>giving them unnecessary hair
>the makers of the movie clearly don't know what "meh" means

How did this go so wrong?

Heheh, it's funny because he's excited but doesn't sound excited. Heh, heh, hehFUCKINGHOLLYWOOD

Blacks?

GIMMIE
HANDJOBS

Oh hello villain of the movie.

>I thought Hollywood couldn't get any lower than Sing.
did you already fotget about norm of the north.

>hand-drawn animation in the US died for this

SKOOKS

>The Popeye movie died because of this

Why can't we have an adult animation film with beautiful drawn animation. Shit like Akira, Your Name, Ghost in the Shell, etc. Why can't western animation be more serious and realize that animation is for kids AND adults. Why can't I be happy?

...

I'm already digging my grave user, please don't make me dig faster.

But at least Foodfight was fun to watch and make fun of, like The Room.

Oh, you mean morons.

it's a sad day when video games have more respect for animation than the actual animation industry.

>So bring the family.
>It doesn't have to be your family

Wait what

animation age ghetto.

What a retarded picture.

None of what you named is considered "adult" in Japan. Where Anime is for the kiddywinks or disgusting otaku manchildren.

He's saying he wants you to kidnap a family and force them at gunpoint to watch The Emoji Movie. It's the only way people will see it.

And nothing of value was lost.

So did Lauren Faust's Medusa movie. Sony execs decided those weren't HIP and TRENDY enough.

So how many horribly unfunny puns do you guys expect there to be in this movie?

Like, six or seven hundred

Thanks for reminding me faggot.

>He doesn't want genuine rubberhose animation in 201X

youtu.be/i4tNuM9XttM

Is Sony the worst movie studio right now?

>tfw the last hope for hand-drawn animation in the US is Don Bluth

>vaporware
>respect

>Those fucking dislikes
Called it, shit is gonna be another fucking Ghostbusters, at least Rock Dog has a chance of doing better than this

>None of what you named is considered "adult" in Japan.
>Akira
>Ghost in the Shell
>Your Name
>Not adult oriented
Gr8 b8 m8. Here's your (You).

I expect every line in the movie to be either a pun, a pop culture parody, a quip, an outdated cringy meme or a unfunny PG shit jokes

This is actually a pretty good strategy as not only will the SWAT team and EMTs arriving treble the audience but it'll be free marketing. The movie will trend, it'll be mentioned on hundreds of radio and television stations, there'll be edit wars on the Wikipedia page between the "it's a lone wolf/Islamic State have already claimed responsibility" guys, the works.

Sing is better than this shit, by far.

>Daphne's outfit will be heavily censored
tfw the movie's doomed already

It probably would've sucked, but I'd take that over this shit anyday.
