Summary | The new emoji movie for children is an animated film starring emojis as its main protagonists. Critics find it quite distasteful because it is full of casual advertising for major tech companies and because it does not address the danger of the internet at all. In Textopolis, the world in which emojis live, alphabetic letters are depicted as elderly with walking canes because the youth does not use letters anymore.

Summary | Nobody can imagine smartphone communication nowadays without emojis. Now there is an animated film starring emojis. The critics are not praising it. Apparently, the characters are quite one-dimensional (which makes sense however since they are emojis) and the product placement advertising tech firms in the movie is too frequent and obvious.

Summary | The Emoji movie represents our consumerist and capitalist society, where big tech companies try to sell their products to children.

For instance, Emoji Dick is a translation of the book Moby Dick; Book from the Ground is a book written in pictograms; Boring Angel video is a video from the internet artist John Michael Boling, which shows a series of emojis; Garden of Emoji Delights represents The ''Garden of Earthly Delights'' (Renaissance work of art) with layers of hundreds of emoji; and finally, the MoMa acquired the original set of emojis for its permanent collection.
