the way I see it, this movie is, in a way, stealing from the emoji movie. this was most likely done because at the time, the emoji movie was a popular, not good, but popular thing to talk about, so having the villain be an emoji was most likely trying to cash in on the popularity (again, not saying it was good.) of the emoji movie. the emoji movie is probably one of the worst thing to try to steal from. aside from that, the animation is very poor and uncanny. don't let your kids watch this.
