There is a secret world inside smartphones!! Textopolis is in the messaging app. This is a busy city where all your favorite emojis live. Each emoji hopes to be selected by the user of the phone. All the emojis except for Gene have one facial expression. Gene is an exuberant emoji without a filter. He is always bursting with many expressions. Gene feels different and he is determined to become just like the other emojis. He asks his best friends Hi-5 and the code breaker Jailbreak to help him. They embark on an adventure through all of the apps on phones. Each emoji has it’s own personal fun world. The plan is to fix Gene but a greater danger threatens the phone?? The fate of all the emojis is in jeopardy!! There is the possibly that all the emojis will be deleted?
Everything about this film really got on my nerves and my very last one nerve!! Possibly the most exasperating of any film I’ve ever seen!! I could not stand the voices, the music and the talk. I felt very tense and I could only view for a SHORT time!! What is this movie doing to children? It’s directed at them and what about their new and still formative brains? I think everything about this movie is bad news for everyone unless they are not listening or watching but doing something very engrossing instead!! The only plus for this film is that it emphasizes being true to yourself and the value of honest plus teamwork. 1/2* (I really hated this movie and I don’t feel the least bit bad about this rating!!)

Special Note: The fasted produced animated movie in history?? On January 13, 2018, Saudi Arabia lifted a 35-year ban on movie theaters. This was the first movie publicly shown along with Captain Underpants. This must have been a terrible disappointment for the new viewers!! This is the first feature-length animated movie to be nominated for Razzies for Worst Picture, Work Director and Worst Screenplay. Also the first animated movie nominated for a Worst Written Film Grossing Over One Hundred Million Dollars in 1997. There was win for all five nominated Razzies. (I really feel on track and vindicated about everything I've felt and written regarding this film after learning these facts!!)
