Celebrate World Emoji Day with 'The Emoji Movie's' Epic App Adventure!

Watching The Emoji Movie is the perfect way to celebrate World Emoji Day on July 17th. This 2017 American animated comedy film, directed by Tony Leondis, explores the world inside a smartphone owned by Alex (Jake T. Austin). The main character is Gene Meh, an emoji who is different due to his ability to express multiple emotions, which is considered a malfunction. Gene, along with Hi-5 and the hacker Jailbreak, embarks on an adventure across various apps to become a normal emoji and save their world from being erased.

The film, featuring the voices of T.J. Miller (Gene Meh), James Corden (Hi-5), Anna Faris (Jailbreak), Christina Aguilera (akiko Glitter) or Maya Rudolph (Smiler), was commercially successful despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. With over $217 million in box office earnings, it became a hit. The Emoji Movie offers a fun look at the digital world we know and use every day.
