Fun fact: at one point Jordan Peele was considered for the role of the poop emoji. He said he'd sleep on it, but when he called Sony the next day to talk about what the paycheck would be like, they told him they'd already hired Patrick Stewart behind his back. Peele would go on to state that that level of unprofessional behaviour from Sony was, if not the final straw, then a significant factor that caused him to retire from acting. At least he went on to become a director of much better things than this
And surprisingly still do acting, mostly in front of a mic and with his buddy Key in movies like Toy Story 4 (where they voice the characters Ducky and Bunny) and Wendell & Wild (where they voice the titular demons)
Oh wow, really? I heard the story of the role of Poop in this film setting off a chain of events that led Peele to switch to directing (heck, I think it was even mentioned in the comments of Sean's previous Razzie video), but I thought that it was a matter of Peele simply being insulted by the role so much that he decided to try something else with his career. Honestly, I can't tell if this is actually _worse._
I was a happy child. My life wasn’t an enchanted Disney film and being called princess was a term of affection rather than a plot required, corporate marketing decision. I could have lived the rest of my life content with that. And now you have left this thought in my mind. Unable to be unseen. Unread. You have changed my life and inspired my dreams in ways I never thought possible. I hope you catch red lights at every opportunity for the rest of your life. 😂@@LuckyPunkProd,
Sorry Sean, but you can't return James Corden to the Brits: under our Consumer Rights Act, you had 14 days from delivery to notify us that you wanted to return him, which have passed.
But he stopped working in The Late Late Show. I tried to provide decent comedy material, but the agency prevents comedy outside his range. Stupid companies preventing Right to Repair for the safety and security of corporate disposibility profits.
Considering how Leondis was among the hundreds of DreamWorks employees that were laid off amidst a corporate shakeup, I would not have blamed him for hopping to Sony Animation; regardless if it was a project as excruciatingly paint-by-numbers as "The Emoji Movie."
I'm so glad that I still haven't watched a single frame of this catastrophe, and that I've only ever seen RUclipsrs put themselves through it on their video reviews, so that we don't have to.
He did it. He finally got to this monstrosity. For real I can’t imagine going through every Razzie winner for Worst Picture in historical order. Mad respect to you my dude.
i remember when i first watched the posters i said something like "ok, we have the ditzy protagonist who makes a mess, the fat comic relief, the strong independent girl and the background character they really wanna turn into a meme". And people told me "how can you say this, the movie isn't even out"
I can't believe that they actually got Sir Patrick Stewart to play Poop, of all things. I'm well aware of the irony, but he deserves better than to be used as a walking punchline.
I wonder... is he really devoid of alternatives? Me would think he's successful enough to reject certain offers. (But then again, so is Ian McKellen, and he went on to star in Cats.)
Popeye was already dead because of the Sony hack by the time The Emoji Movie was greenlit. It was already heading into development hell under the old Sony regime, and when the aforementioned hack caused major management shakeups its fate was sealed, as new suits tend to kill the projects the old suits were developing in order to make the studio their own.
Honestly, it may not be the case. What the Sony leak detailed is that nobody had confidence in Popeye because the character isn't as big a player in cartoons and comics compared to folks that came after his first appearance in Thimble Theater like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and the like, and he became harder to market as a result.
I remember when my partner and I joined a watch party with some former friends without realizing what the movie was gonna be. My partner ducked out the second she realized what movie it was (the moment the phone turned up during the opening credits), but I stayed out of sick curiosity. To this day I still say that my partner made the smarter decision.
@@gracekim25 she's a a symbol of the state. A symbol of power. I don't fucking care if I don't know her interpersonally. She is still far more powerful than any being deserves. I say we should tear apart the monarchy of England and give the revenue to the people. They're the wealthiest in the country. They don't deserve it. Nobody deserves it. They didn't earn that right. Nobody can earn that right in a single lifetime.
This movie angered a lot of people because of how it was supposedly responsible for both the Popeye movie and a Medusa movie with Lauren Faust getting cancelled in favor of the Emoji movie
Will Ferrell is, The Little Girl, With, The Little Curl, John C. Reilly can, actually, act, still have no idea what brings on these terrible choices, likely, blackmail, very, likely.
"And the eggplant Emoji isn't to make Ratatouille..." Yeah...about that, take a look at what happened at the Ratatouille ride at Disney World recently...
Igor was a great movie, its kinda like psychonauts meets young Frankenstein Plus it had an amazing old times music soundtrack witch was pretty uniek compared to all the other animated movies that used modern pop music

@Path Evermore Roland Emmerich's old producer directed it, so, the film had his predictable mayhem, without, his trademark sense of fun, awful, miserable, incorrigible.
Tony Leondis, the film's director, voiced the Laughter, Broom, and Pizza emojis, while Conrad Vernon (who co-directed Sony's 2016 film "Sausage Party" and voiced several characters in it) voiced a Trojan Horse.
It's crazy how everyone and their mother has talked about how terrible this movie is at this point but there'll always be someone who can add something new to the table no matter how many times it's been reviewed already.
Give Sean an award, at the end of this review, he was actually able to make a joke about what people { for some unknown reason } have appropriated the eggplant emoji for, and made the joke funny, if that isn't the second most impossible thing to dividing by zero, I don't bloody know what is!
I don’t know if it’s great timing, but James Cordon ended his show, I think yesterday(?), when this video was uploaded… food for thought (or an entree for horror)
This was a movie that tried so hard to make the message "just be yourself" and also "FEMINISM" that they couldn't make it work. Because they spent so much time making it seem like it was a bad thing to be a princess, that by the time she accepted being a princess emoji it just seemed like she was conforming not accepting herself. But the acceptance message made more sense for the meh emoji, and you can't mix those messages without a lot of effort and better writing, which the movie just didn't have. Also, pretty much every actor that graciously accepted their razzy came out better on the other side then actors that didn't, period. And The Rock just basically shrugging and laughing it off explains why he is so successful.
4:30 WHAT is THAT guy from?! When you said "deleted", I expected the Cybermen from DOCTOR WHO. 6:09 How can "Jailbreak" be an Emoji, which is basically an emotional reaction? 10:09 It means, as Beavis would say, "BOIOIOIOIOIOING!" Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is such a good sport about these things, he is a national treasure. He did Scorpion King and DOOM, and got out unscathed.
10:28- This isn't too far off from why I think a lot of people genuinely consider this worse than Norm of the North despite this having a couple of decent jokes and competent animation while Norm had none of that. Though in that case, I feel like that's more due to everything about it, it being more recent, the subject matter, and its overall lack of quality make it a much easier target. (That and everyone keeps blaming this film for Popeye being delayed when in reality, Genndy gave up on the project to work on Hotel Transylvania 3, something Animat made an entire video talking about, yet I seem to be the only one on the planet who actually remembers that)
Facts, schmacts, the film's, bts, pedigree, generates the hate, it's bad in the way, that if a Steven Seagal film, and, a Denzel Washington film, were, equally bad, the, latter, really does hurt more, than, the, former, due to expectations, before, COVID, people always argued about what films, were, the, worst, and, the, most-disappointing.
I love how after they made this POS (alongside The Star), they made Spiderverse and Mitchells vs the Machines. Anyways, next time we’ll be watching a comedy so bad, John C Reily and Will Ferrell couldn’t make it funny.
Not, to mention, that she bailed from, Mom, before, it, was, over, why, were, we given an extra season that truly had, absolutely, positively, zero reason to exist, no, seriously.
I still remember the first time i saw this movie, and I was drained so hard that I put my head on the promotional cardboard stand. It was a stupid idea from the get go, and unlike the lego movie which was able to prove everyone wrong and be a film everyone would love (except me at the time), this film was so apathetic about its quality and reception that it was insulting, especially with its own arrogance in the opening with Meh pointing out the audience's lack of attention span, and calling emojis "the most important invention in the history of communication". And that's what still gets me about it. It doesn't give one ioda about its audience, or the general filming public, and will do whatever it can to suck so long as it makes more money than captain underpants and kubo and the two strings. It's so derivative of other movies, it's almost plaigarizing, its humor is miserable with only one chuckle from the elderly being text emoticons (like :P or >:|), the writing feels so careless with characterization, blatant with how much it wants to advertise you stuff, and even a tiny bit misguided with jailbreak. And i wouldn't have minded it if it was at least enjoyably bad or bewilderingly bad, but the fact that it's boring makes everything that much worse. I can't even look back on it and have a laugh, it's just tedious. Having said that, I still see why the snowman could be worse. Like i said, the snowman was more unfinished, and this one was more mind numbing. It's more of a pick your poison in terms of which you find worse. Seeing as i haven't watched the snowman, only seeing it in your review, I'm not sure if I can fairly pick or say the emoji movie was more deserving, but if it's enough to show other animators what a lack of passion and caring leads to, i won't complain about the worst picture win. It's still the worst animated film i've seen without a doubt, and yes i've seen food fight....and the LINT WAS A FLESHLI-
Fun fact: The Emoji Movie was one of the first films to be shown in theaters in Saudi Arabia after the country's 35-year ban on movie theaters was lifted. What a way to start, huh?
The Emoji Movie: *got 6% on rotten tomatoes* Sony Pictures Animation: Fine, I’ll do it myself Spider-Man into the spider-verse: *got 97% on rotten tomatoes and won an Oscar for best animated feature*
Me too! Made my morning actually. When I opened my eyes a video about "wokism" was playing and I'm so tired of that topic that I squeaked with glee when I saw Shaun's video in my recommendation!
I kinda wonder if the "bidding war" was like the situation where Arnold tricked Stallone into starring in top Or My Mom Will Shoot by pretending to be interested in it, where studios wanted to make other studios think there was interest in the movie to see who would actually make it.
The Emoji Movie is the direct result of The Lego Movie. You know how it works, a movie is a surprise success and everybody tries to copy it without understanding what made it popular in the first place. The is also a Plamobil Movie. I am still waiting for the Funkopop Movie and the PEZ Head Movie.
Actually I think the reason this won the razzie is not to be the first animated film to do it, but because of the hate train around this movie when it came out, since this was the first movie to fully feel like a commercial; which Ralph Breaks the Internet would do the fallowing year
I remember when I first heard of this, well, this Emoji fits my reaction perfectly. 🤦 Yeah, never bothered to watch it, and can't say I'm even that familiar with the one you thought should win, The Snowman, other than maybe in passing brief mention somewhere. But almost caught up, 2019 would be the next one, then, did they have a Golden Raspberry in 2020? 🤷 But in any event, think this may be done by the end of this year, which is cool. I've never seen Holmes and Watson, which is next, but interested in hearing about it. Thank you.
You should check out the Cinematic Excrement episode on The Snowman. That and the Book of Henry episode he did around the same time are some of my favorites :3
I will say it’s kinda sweet how Leondis tried to make a story involving a main character connected to him being considered different by his peers because he himself is gay. It didn’t work out, but still…
@@gamestation2690 Stonewall, failed, for, precisely, the same reason, Anonymous, did, Roland Emmerich films that, aren't, epic, are, just, D.O.A., no question.
My guess is that someone involved in the making of this film either hated Star Trek : The Next Generation, hated Sir Patrick Stewart { or both } , and decided to strongarm, blackmail, or threaten to commit a terrorist attack if he didn't do what they said, and they used that power of extortion to force him to be in this film playing a literal piece of crap. Also, I hate The Emoji Movie more than I hated any of the other movies nominated by The Razzies or otherwise that year, but I still agree that The Snowman was worse for the reasons stated in this video and the video Sean did on the movie some years back. It's like how you may hate a certain video game for being frustrating, but in terms of basic state of being, Big Rigs will always be one of the worst video games ever made purely because of how the game is barely even functional in the first place.
It features Kaley Kuoco, the latest obscenely overrated blonde hack who, somehow, has a great career, continuing, with, the tradition of, Heather Locklear, and, Tori Spelling.
Without, rich overseas markets, the terrible, Ice Age, sequels, would have been far less in number, the pendulum swings, both, ways, period, it does, just, unquestionably.
Well, let's give this movie some credit: if it wasn't for this, SPA wouldn't reached rock bottom and rise above giving us good stuff like the Spiderverse movies or Mitchells VS The Machines; so maybe something good came out of this mess. And next time....oh jeez
13:11 I'm gonna have to disagree on that one, Ralph Breaks the Internet was shit. I felt like I was watching The Emoji Movie all over again, not to mention the lack of continuity that's all over the place! Vanellope goes Turbo and gets no consequences for it.
Never gonna happen. The Best Animated Feature category was created specifically to keep animated films from being nominated for Best Picture. Because the Oscars don't think animated films and live-action films can stand on the same level.
I always figured adult jokes in family media was for the benefit of parents, grandparents, older siblings, babysitters, nannies, etc. who have to watch these movies 950,000 times. Obviously, no little kid is going to get a Casablanca reference. However, nothing TEM tries even borders on charming or clever, so the tactic doesn't work.
I think the best comment on Jailbreak I’ve ever read is: “her personality is basically what an anti feminist would give a straw feminist”. How did the writers fail so badly at trying to write a sincere feminist message? Yikes.
"If you're The Rock and you make a bad movie, you're still The Rock." Tell that to him after Black Adam. Good God, you've never seen a man be this whiny.
At least, he's a decent human being, which is far more, than, I can, possibly, say about the, Human Garbage, that is, Ezra Miller, I've heard the rave reviews that, The, Flash, is getting, but, I don't believe these corporate shills, for, a second, and, as a tweet I've recently read most elegantly opined, "the mere fact that this film could be good, is exactly why I won't watch it."
@@thecinematicmind He only gets away, with, it, if the public permits him, I didn't want to see the film in the first place, and, I'm hoping that enough people resist the temptation, and, either, just, skip it, outright, and/or, wait, for, it to be dumped on television, but, considering the release schedule, the film, probably, has no legs, anyway, that's all.
@@matthewdaley746 Not true. Oliver & Company actually made $100 million worldwide against a $31 million budget on its initial run in 1988, then was re-released in 1996 and grossed $21 million more. Now, The Black Cauldron, on the other hand, THAT was the major flop that Disney buried for several years because it very nearly brought down the animation studio. It only made $21.3 million against a $44 million budget when it was released in 1985 and it didn't get a home video release until 1998.
@@matthewdaley746 Sure, The Land Before Time might have done better in some ways, but Oliver & Company was still considered enough of a success for Disney to keep going, and they were able to make a bigger smash hit after with The Little Mermaid. I am certain that Disney was not ashamed of Oliver & Company like they were and still are of The Black Cauldron. Get your facts correct. And stop putting commas in between nearly every word. It's freaking obnoxious.
Funny how I wake up and there's a new Cinematic Excrement episode available, and yes, I did see this POS when I saw it on DVD at my library, and it was bad, then I saw The Snowman, and I'm gonna agree with you on this, it's worse than The Emoji Movie, I cant believe I saw people actually liking this mess when it was put on Netflix

His role as Avery Bullock from American Dad had more dignity than this. And he was funnier in that show as well.
One of the other biggest reasons why The Emoji Movie was hated is because they cancel a Popeye animated movie in its place.

6:09 How can "Jailbreak" be an Emoji, which is basically an emotional reaction?
10:09 It means, as Beavis would say, "BOIOIOIOIOIOING!"
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is such a good sport about these things, he is a national treasure. He did Scorpion King and DOOM, and got out unscathed.
2:40 Shaun The Sheep movie did the same releasing parody posters and they were funny. Also the movie was a very good movie.
6 years later, and this film certainly doesn’t represent that powerhouse Sony animation is nowadays.
I got the notification for this video while I was in the bathroom. Such timing
The only thing I'm curious about is how long Patrick Stewart took until he accepted the part and what was his expression when saying 'yes'.
9:52 NGL when i first heard that line I groaned so hard my mom thought I was sick.
10:28- This isn't too far off from why I think a lot of people genuinely consider this worse than Norm of the North despite this having a couple of decent jokes and competent animation while Norm had none of that. Though in that case, I feel like that's more due to everything about it, it being more recent, the subject matter, and its overall lack of quality make it a much easier target. (That and everyone keeps blaming this film for Popeye being delayed when in reality, Genndy gave up on the project to work on Hotel Transylvania 3, something Animat made an entire video talking about, yet I seem to be the only one on the planet who actually remembers that)
Facts, schmacts, the film's, bts, pedigree, generates the hate, it's bad in the way, that if a Steven Seagal film, and, a Denzel Washington film, were, equally bad, the, latter, really does hurt more, than, the, former, due to expectations, before, COVID, people always argued about what films, were, the, worst, and, the, most-disappointing.
I really liked Igor growing up! I can't believe Tony Leondis went from that to... this... what a fall from grace.
Yeah, Igor is such an underrated movie.
I love how after they made this POS (alongside The Star), they made Spiderverse and Mitchells vs the Machines. Anyways, next time we’ll be watching a comedy so bad, John C Reily and Will Ferrell couldn’t make it funny.
So bad, it makes you want to watch the bad seasons of the BBC "Sherlock" show just to cleanse yourself.
Thank God we got great Sony animated movies such as Spider-Man: into the Spiderverse and The Mitchells vs. the Machines after this monstrosity.
5:25 House Bunny as well.
Man, that really aged....
Figuratively and literally
Not, to mention, that she bailed from, Mom, before, it, was, over, why, were, we given an extra season that truly had, absolutely, positively, zero reason to exist, no, seriously.
I still remember the first time i saw this movie, and I was drained so hard that I put my head on the promotional cardboard stand. It was a stupid idea from the get go, and unlike the lego movie which was able to prove everyone wrong and be a film everyone would love (except me at the time), this film was so apathetic about its quality and reception that it was insulting, especially with its own arrogance in the opening with Meh pointing out the audience's lack of attention span, and calling emojis "the most important invention in the history of communication". And that's what still gets me about it. It doesn't give one ioda about its audience, or the general filming public, and will do whatever it can to suck so long as it makes more money than captain underpants and kubo and the two strings. It's so derivative of other movies, it's almost plaigarizing, its humor is miserable with only one chuckle from the elderly being text emoticons (like :P or >:|), the writing feels so careless with characterization, blatant with how much it wants to advertise you stuff, and even a tiny bit misguided with jailbreak. And i wouldn't have minded it if it was at least enjoyably bad or bewilderingly bad, but the fact that it's boring makes everything that much worse. I can't even look back on it and have a laugh, it's just tedious.
Having said that, I still see why the snowman could be worse. Like i said, the snowman was more unfinished, and this one was more mind numbing. It's more of a pick your poison in terms of which you find worse. Seeing as i haven't watched the snowman, only seeing it in your review, I'm not sure if I can fairly pick or say the emoji movie was more deserving, but if it's enough to show other animators what a lack of passion and caring leads to, i won't complain about the worst picture win. It's still the worst animated film i've seen without a doubt, and yes i've seen food fight....and the LINT WAS A FLESHLI-
I'm pissed at Sony for scrapping Gendy Tartokovsky's Popeye for this. But at least they gave us Spider-Verse and the Mitchell's so we're cool for now.
It’s all thanks to The Interview of all films.
Fun fact: The Emoji Movie was one of the first films to be shown in theaters in Saudi Arabia after the country's 35-year ban on movie theaters was lifted. What a way to start, huh?
What do you want to bet that Diary Of A Mad Black Emogi was one of the parodies they had in the pipeline and didn't release after the backlash?
I've said it before, and I will say it again. Dude needs to make a video ranking every Worst Picture winner! I would LOVE to see that!
Dirty Love is a top 5 worst Picture Winner easily.
The Emoji Movie: *got 6% on rotten tomatoes*
Sony Pictures Animation: Fine, I’ll do it myself
Spider-Man into the spider-verse: *got 97% on rotten tomatoes and won an Oscar for best animated feature*
I was literally wondering yesterday when the next episode would be
Me too! Made my morning actually. When I opened my eyes a video about "wokism" was playing and I'm so tired of that topic that I squeaked with glee when I saw Shaun's video in my recommendation!
The Emoji Movie was destined for Cinematic Excrement! The poop symbol confirms it
This movie is absolute trash but "good vibrations" absolutely slaps, dude is a songwriter and producer who was responsible for Lizzo's "Juice"
As always: I don't mind turning off my ad blocker when watching your quality content, Sean. I hope you get more revenue than the Emoji Movie did ...
I kinda wonder if the "bidding war" was like the situation where Arnold tricked Stallone into starring in top Or My Mom Will Shoot by pretending to be interested in it, where studios wanted to make other studios think there was interest in the movie to see who would actually make it.
It's, definitely, a, possibility, kind of, like, how, truly terrible teams can only sign great free agents through gross overpayment.
The Emoji Movie is the direct result of The Lego Movie. You know how it works, a movie is a surprise success and everybody tries to copy it without understanding what made it popular in the first place. The is also a Plamobil Movie.
I am still waiting for the Funkopop Movie and the PEZ Head Movie.
There is also a Bobblehead movie. Seriously.
13:12-13:14
Damm that aged well because now we also have that with Inside Out 2.
At least Sony redeemed themselves 1 year later with into the spiderverse
Here’s an emoji that describes this review: 👍
Once upon a time, this entire movie was uploaded to PornHub.
I'm not even fucking kidding.
Before, massive, alterations, occurred.
Actually I think the reason this won the razzie is not to be the first animated film to do it, but because of the hate train around this movie when it came out, since this was the first movie to fully feel like a commercial; which Ralph Breaks the Internet would do the fallowing year
Between this movie or Boss Baby. I would rather rewatch Boss Baby on repeat over this crap. The idea of an Emoji Movie was just completely stupid.
I remember when I first heard of this, well, this Emoji fits my reaction perfectly. 🤦 Yeah, never bothered to watch it, and can't say I'm even that familiar with the one you thought should win, The Snowman, other than maybe in passing brief mention somewhere. But almost caught up, 2019 would be the next one, then, did they have a Golden Raspberry in 2020? 🤷 But in any event, think this may be done by the end of this year, which is cool. I've never seen Holmes and Watson, which is next, but interested in hearing about it. Thank you.
Absolutely, things stay relevant.
I forgot about Holmes and Watson! Can't wait to see Shaun exasperated reaction...😅
@@anikmonette2140 Exasperation will be relentless.
2020 did have a winner, "Absolute Proof". Basically a right-wing propaganda film from the MyPillow guy claiming the 2020 election was stolen.
You should check out the Cinematic Excrement episode on The Snowman. That and the Book of Henry episode he did around the same time are some of my favorites :3
I will say it’s kinda sweet how Leondis tried to make a story involving a main character connected to him being considered different by his peers because he himself is gay. It didn’t work out, but still…
Roland Emmerich is gay, but even HE couldn't make a movie about the Stonewall riots work.
Other problems inspired failure.
@@gamestation2690 Stonewall, failed, for, precisely, the same reason, Anonymous, did, Roland Emmerich films that, aren't, epic, are, just, D.O.A., no question.
12 Angry Emojis!
How dark can it go... requiem for an emoji?
Velmoji, that's, seriously, incorrigible.
It’s sad this movie made more money than Kubo and The Two Strings.
This is why we can't have nice things!
Just when I thought I couldn't hate this movie even more
My guess is that someone involved in the making of this film either hated Star Trek : The Next Generation, hated Sir Patrick Stewart { or both } , and decided to strongarm, blackmail, or threaten to commit a terrorist attack if he didn't do what they said, and they used that power of extortion to force him to be in this film playing a literal piece of crap. Also, I hate The Emoji Movie more than I hated any of the other movies nominated by The Razzies or otherwise that year, but I still agree that The Snowman was worse for the reasons stated in this video and the video Sean did on the movie some years back. It's like how you may hate a certain video game for being frustrating, but in terms of basic state of being, Big Rigs will always be one of the worst video games ever made purely because of how the game is barely even functional in the first place.
Im not sure if its been suggested, but you seriously need to do a review on 'The Cougar Club'.
It features Kaley Kuoco, the latest obscenely overrated blonde hack who, somehow, has a great career, continuing, with, the tradition of, Heather Locklear, and, Tori Spelling.
I'm considering that, especially during that craze because of Kelso.
@@antibishonen She's horribly talentless, unquestionably.
0:45 I've seen Igor. It certainly is one of the movies of all time.
"How dark can we make this?"
50 Emojis of Grey...
(Shudders in horror)
3:51 Cornelius Archibald Poop III 😂💀
13:25
For your next review....
Smeghead wishes to relive Elementary School again, Watson?
(IBM) Watson: No ship, Sherlock!
Without this cash grab, Spiderverse wouldn't exist.
Without, rich overseas markets, the terrible, Ice Age, sequels, would have been far less in number, the pendulum swings, both, ways, period, it does, just, unquestionably.
Well, let's give this movie some credit:
if it wasn't for this, SPA wouldn't reached rock bottom and rise above giving us good stuff like the Spiderverse movies or Mitchells VS The Machines; so maybe something good came out of this mess.
And next time....oh jeez
Holmes and Watson is gonna be a painful movie to sit through.
Like Movie 43, that film had a European cut with different scenes.
Oh Great Green Arkleseizure, he's doing "Holmes & Watson," isn't he? Poor fool.
Oh, sweet summer child. The Hell for Sean won't end there. After "Holmes & Watson" there's "Cats", Absolute Proof, Diana the Musical and Blonde.
Jordan Peele quit acting? Wasn't he in Toy Story 4 in 2019, two years after The Emoji Movie?
On-Camera, acting, he, writes, and, directs, as well, as trashing whites, whenever, he can, but, he's seen as progressive, and, not, you know, racist.
13:11 I'm gonna have to disagree on that one, Ralph Breaks the Internet was shit. I felt like I was watching The Emoji Movie all over again, not to mention the lack of continuity that's all over the place! Vanellope goes Turbo and gets no consequences for it.
Now we need an animated film to win *Best* Picture!!!
Never gonna happen. The Best Animated Feature category was created specifically to keep animated films from being nominated for Best Picture. Because the Oscars don't think animated films and live-action films can stand on the same level.
@@galeforce3192 Then why were Up and Toy Story 3 both nominated for Best Picture?
The fact that a Popeye movie was cancelled in favour of this trash makes me deeply hatefully resent it... 🤬
Only to have Tartakovsky do a Hotel Transylvania short film with The Emoji Movie
@The Cinematic Mind The last of which, was, so, terrible, even Adam Sandler bailed on it, that truly says it all, unquestionably, does, total trash.
Added, disgust, without, requirement.
I always figured adult jokes in family media was for the benefit of parents, grandparents, older siblings, babysitters, nannies, etc. who have to watch these movies 950,000 times. Obviously, no little kid is going to get a Casablanca reference. However, nothing TEM tries even borders on charming or clever, so the tactic doesn't work.
Good morning Sean👋😊 this is a nice surprise to wake up to
I’m shocked the Razzies didn’t at least make a special award for The Snowman.
Suggestion: Biggest Insult to Filmmaking Since Stock Footage
My award is Most Unfinished Mainstream Hollywood film of the Year.
I think the best comment on Jailbreak I’ve ever read is: “her personality is basically what an anti feminist would give a straw feminist”. How did the writers fail so badly at trying to write a sincere feminist message? Yikes.
"If you're The Rock and you make a bad movie, you're still The Rock."
Tell that to him after Black Adam. Good God, you've never seen a man be this whiny.
At least, he's a decent human being, which is far more, than, I can, possibly, say about the, Human Garbage, that is, Ezra Miller, I've heard the rave reviews that, The, Flash, is getting, but, I don't believe these corporate shills, for, a second, and, as a tweet I've recently read most elegantly opined, "the mere fact that this film could be good, is exactly why I won't watch it."
@@matthewdaley746 Erza Miller getting away with his film angers me, the hypocrisy with Warner Bros once again.
@@thecinematicmind He only gets away, with, it, if the public permits him, I didn't want to see the film in the first place, and, I'm hoping that enough people resist the temptation, and, either, just, skip it, outright, and/or, wait, for, it to be dumped on television, but, considering the release schedule, the film, probably, has no legs, anyway, that's all.
One of the only films I got a free Blu-ray as a gift. “Gift” in quotes to be honest.
I guess Gift is a fitting word for it, if you use the german meaning :D
Very obvious quotes, unquestionably.
@@flusendieb6833 Additionally, Greek definition fits.
How about the child friendly horror movie, 13 Ghost Emojis? That was a missed opportunity as well
Should I mention Scooby Doo and Vincent Price?
Cornelius Archibald Poop, III could be the new puppy in the Windsor household
I saw it as a driving force to make a better animated film when the time comes.
@@matthewdaley746 except I’d make something different.
@@matthewdaley746 Not true. Oliver & Company actually made $100 million worldwide against a $31 million budget on its initial run in 1988, then was re-released in 1996 and grossed $21 million more. Now, The Black Cauldron, on the other hand, THAT was the major flop that Disney buried for several years because it very nearly brought down the animation studio. It only made $21.3 million against a $44 million budget when it was released in 1985 and it didn't get a home video release until 1998.
@@matthewdaley746 Sure, The Land Before Time might have done better in some ways, but Oliver & Company was still considered enough of a success for Disney to keep going, and they were able to make a bigger smash hit after with The Little Mermaid. I am certain that Disney was not ashamed of Oliver & Company like they were and still are of The Black Cauldron. Get your facts correct.
And stop putting commas in between nearly every word. It's freaking obnoxious.
The Poop Emoji is my favorite character in the entire film because he expresses better than words my thoughts on this movie.
3:03 comedy gold! Thank you, I laughed so hard, I may have ruptured something
Funny how I wake up and there's a new Cinematic Excrement episode available, and yes, I did see this POS when I saw it on DVD at my library, and it was bad, then I saw The Snowman, and I'm gonna agree with you on this, it's worse than The Emoji Movie, I cant believe I saw people actually liking this mess when it was put on Netflix
Its been awhile since you reviewed an Animated Movie
At this rate, Sean should be about done with the marathon by Episode 150! Who would have known?
