God damn it now I want a movie about Nutella

Fucking hell.

In all honesty, it reminds me of a film concept I once came up with where websites on the Internet are personified and have to face an threat from a virus, a bit like Inside Out but based on the Internet rather than human emotions. If it's like that, it has promise. Otherwise, I don't know what the hell they're going to do with this.

 

I actually like that concept. Let's get together and write a treatment.

I think there is only one known pitch out there. 

 

 

I think after the failure of Pixels, Sony will be less willing to move forward with this project.

First ANGRY BIRDS, now THE EMOJI MOVIE drops 8/11/17. Yes, for reals. Sony really has their finger on the pulse of animation...

Describing The Emoji Movie as “a movie that’s about the power of self expression,” Sony Picture Animation President Kristine Belson teased a storyline set inside an iPhone. The Emojis within live in a place called Emoji valley and wind up having to leave the village to head into the “world of wallpaper”. From there, every icon on a phone becomes its own distinct location. http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/676055-sony-pictures-cinemacon#/slide/1

Why not? And if they are smart then it should be more like Inside Out.

Pray the sequel is about emojis feeling neglected after the advent of one @Rey and her arsenal of GIFs.

Set inside an iPhone, you say? I wonder how much money exchanged hands for that to happen?

 

Regarding the movie itself, you know,  you can make anything work if you put enough thought into it. Don't knock too hard at it until you see the first trailer. That's the kind of film that we really can't know how it will turn out.

To quote Disgust in Inside Out: "That's it, I'm done." * walks away*

 

I don't see HOW, in any way, this could work as a film.  I mean, maybe a short film, but feature-length?

[water]

actually sounds like a cute funny idea
