CULVER CITY, Calif. (September 12, 2017) – Be
the movie night hero and bring home the film that kids give two thumbs up to for the ultimate kid’s movie
night! It’s time to express yourself when Sony Pictures Animation’s THE EMOJI
MOVIE arrives for the first time on Digital on October 10 and on 4K
Ultra HD+ Blu-ray + Digital, Blu-ray + Digital and DVD October 24 from Sony
Pictures Home Entertainment. The
animated comedy 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 (Anna Faris). 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.
THE EMOJI MOVIE features
an all-star voice cast including T.J. Miller (How To Train Your Dragon) as Gene Meh, James Corden (“Late Late
Show with James Corden”) as Hi-5, Anna Faris (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) as Jailbreak, Maya Rudolph (Big Hero 6) as Smiler, Steven Wright (Louie) as Mel Meh, Jennifer Coolidge (American Pie, Legally Blonde) as Mary Meh, Jake T. Austin (“Wizards of Waverly
Place”) as phone owner Alex, Grammy® Award Winner Christina Aguilera as Akiko

Smurfs) as Flamenca, Rachael Ray (“Rachael Ray”) as Spam, Emmy® Award

filled with interactive bonus
materials on the Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, DVD and
digital releases that are fun for the entire family to enjoy including the “Good
Vibrations” Dance Along and Lyric Video, where you can join along in the dance
party. Learn about the amazing dance moves from the film’s celebrity
