Check out the first official trailer of The Emoji Movie, the upcoming CG animated movie directed by Tony Leondis and featuring the voices of T.J. Miller, James Corden, Ilana Glazer, and Steven Wright:
THE EMOJI MOVIE
“The Emoji Movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression — except for Gene (T.J. Miller), an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 (James Corden) and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak (Ilana Glazer). Together, they embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.”

Well, those two teaser trailers of The Emoji Movie were rather underwhelming… Let’s hope they will come up with a good old fashioned trailer soon.
Anyway, here’s a series of character posters:
The film will open in theaters on August 4, 2017.
