It’s a short, almost disposable sequence, but one which aptly sums up the humor which made Inside Out, directed by Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera and released earlier this year, such a hit with audiences. Then the view cuts to the fantastical space inside the boy’s brain, and all his emotions are enjoying the downtime: skating around on half-pipes, whooping and wailing with delight. His eyes are half-closed, his mouth slightly open, his shoulders slumped.
Don't be alarmed if your mind wanders and you start asking yourself questions like: "How many kids have even heard of Dropbox?" and "Why do Gene and his parents get 'people' names, while Smiler and Hi-5 just have emoji names?" and "Would a real teenager really call someone to make a tech appointment at the phone store?" If you need something else to think about, try to figure out how you'd describe the movie's plot using just emojis.There’s a superb moment in Pixar’s short film Riley’s First Date? where a 12 year-old boy named Jordan stares listlessly out of a window. And did we mention that the aforementioned poop emoji is voiced by none other than Sir Patrick Stewart?īut most audience members old enough to actually own phones will probably realize that much of The Emoji Movie's plot is predictable (it feels like a mashup of Inside Outand Wreck-It Ralph, with a dash of The Wizard of Oz) and its humor only so-so. No one is better at doing a "meh" voice than Steven Wright (as Gene's dad, Mel Meh), and Jennifer Coolidge matches him as Mel's monotone wife, Mary. Rudolph is gleefully manic as Smiler, and there are some standouts in the supporting cast. Young viewers are also sure to catch the movie's positive messages about teamwork, friendship, and being yourself.
It's "meh." Kids will definitely enjoy the colorful characters, easy-to-follow story, and potty humor ("we're number two!" the poop emoji and his son exclaim).

The Emoji Movie isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. It's pretty risky to center a movie around the concept of "meh," which basically means "unimpressive," if you're not going to knock it out of the park - and this one unfortunately doesn't. The story emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself, as well as the value of honesty and teamwork. Many real-life apps are featured prominently, including Dropbox, YouTube, and Just Dance. Jokes about the poop emoji involve (surprise!) potty humor. Language is fairly mild but includes a purposely cut-off "oh, s-t," as well as insults like "loser," "shut up," and so on. There's a bit of flirting, and two emoji characters kiss there are also scenes that take place in a dive bar, where drinking is implied (and there's a beer emoji character). But it never gets too intense for young elementary schoolers. Expect to see some destruction, suspense, and peril the main characters are pursued by intimidating bots bent on deleting them with their laserlike weapons. Miller) breaks those expectations, chaos ensues. Parents need to know that The Emoji Movie is a colorful and kid-friendly - if not particularly original - adventure that imagines a world inside our smartphones in which each emoji is supposed to have a single expression/role.
