AN ADVENTURE BEYOND WORDS.
Gene lives in the city of Textopolis, inside a smartphone that belongs to a human teenager; heās a āmehā emoji, but can actually show multiple expressions, which throws him into an adventure. Commercially speaking, this was a hit, but it was also a savagely maligned film that earned very unfavorable comparisons with The Lego Movie (2014). Very lazy and uninspired, with jokes that make you want to throw away your smartphone in disgust.
